I appreciate the consideration, but what was wrong with their SDL code? Or am I missing something? :confused:

Steam Beta expands for another 5000!

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6782, member: 1"It may have it's own online store yes but it has no community system (friends, game invites, game overlay etc) it's far inferior to Steam.

Who exactly were you referring to?

Newell and the feeding of the 5000? :P

Desurium 0.8 RC3 Call For Testing
15 Jan 2013 at 6:20 pm UTC

Sorry for the thread revival, but there is something I have noticed when it comes to the display bugs - letting the program login to the Desura server even with the garbled text seems to increase the chances of it displaying right the next time you launch it.

Quoting: "drogeek, post: 6749"Actually, desurium works even better for me. It actually launches the videos, I don't have to switch back to my browser to watch them. Good

Oh, don't get me wrong; in every other respect it is a huge improvement, especially with the videos. :)

Although I did notice the scroll bars are a little inconsistent now, with the Play section having it's own dark one and the others seeming to just use my GTK theme's one.

Desurium 0.8 RC3 Call For Testing

Quoting: "anagromataf, post: 6752, member: 386"Is this with a distribution specific repository or with the standalone tar?
I am on Fedora 16 i386, and I used the standalone tarball.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6751, member: 122"Wait till you see the other potential side effect (sometimes colours get a bit exciting). Is this on a fresh system, or one that has previously had Desurium installed? How frequently would you say this is happening for you?
I see what you mean:

It seems to be happening quite often unfortunately, or at the very least, when it does happen it does not resolve itself that quickly. I had an older Desuirium build I grabbed last August which was afflicted by the same issue, yes.

Great, just grabbed it. Wonderful to see some more progress being made. :)

Only problem I am experincing on first blush is that sometimes when loading the application the login screen gets a bit messed up like so:

Killing the application and restarting it usually solves the issue, but it keeps cropping up.

Egosoft plans new Linux ports for X3

There is also the fact that RuneSoft is also moving into that area as well though and getting more seriously invested in Linux again, giving them some more competition from another porting company (and one that does not use DRM, as far as I know).
