So what I had on good authority is now a little more public:

Quoting: Toploader (RWS)GoG Windows is in line with Steam. PL will be out on GoG soon we hope (we submitted it to them a few days back). Linux will also come to GoG soon. We're also working on Galaxy support for all games.

What my source is telling me now though is that at least one person at RWS is seriously considering using Linux for his daily workflow if the UE4 Linux tools now in beta work well. ;)

I also have it on very good authority that the Linux version will be coming to GOG.com shortly.

Quoting: keikiOne simple fact why I'm currently rarely on my PC. It's hot outside in Germany (30-40 Celsius). And in general it's summer here.

Even here in Canada the summer heat has been cutting down on my uptime, and it has certainly slimmed down the amount of time I have spent playing games.

Quoting: EikeWhile rain may be keeping you from being outside, sun doesn't need to keep you from being inside! ;)
(And it's too hot outside anyway...)

Sure, but no one likes their computer turning into a toaster oven.

Quoting: WorMzyLooks like Arch-based distros took quite a hit last month. I wonder what caused that.

Given the significant drop in sample size I would take such shifts with a grain of salt.

Maybe there are just more Arch users on Reddit? :P

I did not even know that my Humble Bundle version was updated. :|

Well, I guess that sorts out what I am going to do once I am done with my second playthrough of Shadow Warrior at least.

While I can understand the need to broaden the applicability of the answers, having the (nearly) tacked on to to the pertinent answer on the GOG Galaxy question does mean it will water down the amount of actual DRM Free purists that are reported.

Quoting: CybaCowboyAh okay, I have Shadow Warrior, but the Steam version I bought last year... Besides, I wasn't suggesting you don't review them - it's never too late for a review - just failing to understand the significance of the post.

Fair enough.

Quoting: CybaCowboyBut the way, it's interesting to note that GOG.com have two versions of Shadow Warrior - the "classic" (original) version and a seemingly graphically polished "2013" version (the "classic" version is not available for Linux-based operating systems in Steam - not too sure how this differs from the "redux" version I have in Steam)!

As I understand it the "Classic" version of Shadow Warrior on Steam is basically just a free giveaway from Devolver Digital to promote the Classic Redux version.

Incidentally, this is guy probably summed up the game better than I did:

Quoting: LaikaI'm offensive and I find this game Asian.

Quoting: crt0megaYou should take a look at M210 Projects [External Link], his "BloodCM" works fine with eDuke32. Unfortunately his work has yet to be finished, Episode 3 is at 66% :/

I am actually the co-founder/head moderator of the Blood Wiki so of course I have heard of BloodCM and what they have been able to accomplish is indeed incredible, although as long as the project continues to freely distribute copyrighted assets there will always be a question of legality surrounding it.

The other big hope for getting around the lack of source code access is the XL Engine which is hoping to add Blood support once the guy behind it is done reverse engineering the Jedi Engine behind Dark Forces and Outlaws. I have no idea how much progress he is making at the moment though.

If taking a screenshot fixes things for you can also just press "Alt-Enter" to go into a windowed mode and then repeat to go back again. But that would of course just be another workaround.

You could also try changing the Duke Nukem 3D screen settings, although that would probably just replicate the same behaviour as pressing "F5". Regardless, you can access these settings by providing the following parameter to the GOG start script:
./start.sh -sset
