Quoting: benjamimgoisHey guys, thanks for the responses.
Saddly it depends of LCL librarys of lazarus enviroment. I don't like it either... A good solution is to use the Chaotic-AUR [External Link], it provides compiled versions of several FOSS, including goverlay, so you only have to download 6MB.
Good to know, i'll take a look at it, thanks! :)
Quoting: benjamimgoisThe first alpha of goverlay was qt5 based, the theming become a little strange on some distros, so i switched back to gtk2. But i can make a new qt5 version to make a broader testing.
As a KDE-User i'd love to see a qt5 version, too ^^

And thanks for your efforts, keep up the nice work :D

Given the disastrous state that the Linux-Client of WarThunder is in for ages now i don't have very high hopes :(
But we can at least try ^^

GOverlay is pretty cool - having lazarus as a makedep is not so cool though...1.2GB for a Toolkit is a bit much (and then people complain about 9MB for KDE Framework ^^)

Nice move!
I played it some more when it released and still start it up once in a while - it's quite nice for a short session ^^

As Bad as EGS and their exclusivity bullshit is, but you can't argue that funds for projects like blender, lutris, krita, godot aren't welcomed. As long as everybody remembers that we are like moving to canada to Mr. Sweeny and that he want's to prevent competition i'm fine with them throwing money to something useful instead of exclusives ^^

Black Mesa 1.0 preview coming soon - still getting big improvements to visuals and the AI

A shame that i "have to" play it now :D (as in "playing all HL parts again prior to Alyx")

I still got some issues like not being able to set graphics options in game (they work via the config file), seeing illumination-markers or occasional fps-drops or crashes. When i last played it years ago it was more polished i must say ^^

Quoting: TheSHEEEP
since they don't support Galaxy on Linux yet
You know, there is optimism, and then there is naivety...
sadly, it seems you are right :/
And even if there is a proper FOSS alternative, i'm not willing to throw money on a company with that attitude towards linux...
