Denuvo Anti-Cheat to support Steam Play Proton, being removed from DOOM Eternal
21 May 2020 at 10:29 am UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: soulsource
Quoting: rkfg
Quoting: keanThese programs are basically useless, I gave up on Rust and PUBG, because it was still full of cheaters.
I wish these will support Proton in the future, I would like to play some competitive FPS with my friends while sticking to Linux.
Feels to me like the point of those "anticheats" is not to get rid of cheaters at all... I wonder what their real purpose could be 🤔
It's snake oil for publishers.

Paranoia is fun. No, here the point IS to get rid of cheaters. You're thinking of DRM. Doom Eternal already uses Denuvo DRM, which, yes, is to make the pulbishers/shareholders happy. Denuvo anticheat is a different thing entirely.

Come tell us about what you've been gaming on Linux lately

Been playing AssCreed Odyssey and Life is Strange 2.

I don't have Doom Eternal m'self, but if anyone's interested, here's a script to downgrade it to the pre-Denuvo-anticheat version.

Microsoft president admits they were wrong on open source

Going to stick to my prediction that one day after Microsoft have converted all their software to cloud-based services, they'll be shipping their own minimal Linux distro on some low-powered device.

Quoting: MnolegGetting started with MUDs has been in my TODO list for some time. Any recommendations? Thank you.

Could start with BatMUD. Quite friendly, I think.

Seeds of Chaos, an adult (NSFW) dark fantasy tale with RPG & Strategy elements is now on Linux
4 May 2020 at 1:47 pm UTC Likes: 13

Heh, don't take this too seriously, but I find the tag "NSFW" amusing. Are there any games that are "safe for work"? I imagine even Candy Crush would get you in trouble.

If it were something I'd want to play, I'd probably buy/play through UPlay/Wine directly, rather than the EGS store or Stadia.

Order of preference is:
UPlay direct purchase
EGS Store

...
...

Stadi...naaaaaah.
