So, the same sh*t they have been doing for the last couple games...and people will double dip, sadly.

Nice! I'm tired of most games showing Xbox prompts even if I use Playstation or Generic (1, 2, 3 ,4 instead of X/A B/O, etc) controllers.

Since the vast majority of GPUs out there are Nvidia, and it's known how bad they play with Wayland, I see this as a risky move.

Unless they manage to tackle down ALL the issues in the 105 days (at the time of writing this) remaining until release, with little to no help from Nvidia.

They have been going for a couple years with this and got only a small success, unless a miracle happens, I see this becoming a shitshow.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAs usual, my takeaway from this kind of thing is, we need to get the Chinese using Linux.

The government is moving in the right direction by ditching Windows and supporting distros like Deepin, OpenKylin, etc.

The problem as you could have guessed, is software, there are lots of programs unavailable on Linux and that's slowing down the process.

Only after the govt switches, there will be a push for general users to switch. That's 5+ years easy.

Tekken 7 was released SIX YEARS AGO and they only put the base game in the bundle, same goes for Code Vein which was released 4 years ago. They could have put the definitive/complete editions on it or at least a discount coupon for their respective season passes.

I tried the demo and to my surprise, it ran fairly good on my Pascal card (GTX 1060) considering how bad most DX12 games through VKD3D run on it. Would've better if it had DX11 or Vulkan support.

So, how this works?

Why the beta driver has a lower version number than the stable?

Quoting: mark348Reminds me of Safari Biathlon Racer

I had some flashbacks about old games I played when I got my ATI RAGE 128 Ultra 16MB AGP card, and among those, was this one, I just had forgotten it's name.

I also remember Ballistics (developed by GRiN), Bandits Phoenix Racing, damn! the early 2000s had a lot of futuristic racing/combat games. Sadly, looks like the genre is almost dead.

Quoting: Cybolic

Quoting: Avikarr[...]Check out BallisticNG on Steam! This game is a passion project, spiritual successor of WipeOut and it definitely slaps! [...] Pure labor of love. Devs like these should be supported. Period.

Can confirm! Whenever I fire up wipEout or wipEout 2097 (wipEout XL in the USA) I usually end up switching to BallisticNG after 10 minutes or so once the nostalgia starts wearing off. BallisticNG is just everything I love about the early wipEout games plus so many more conveniences that it really has become the golden standard for anti-grav racing games at this point :grin:

For some reason I also have it, but never played, maybe it's time to check it out.

How do you play Phobia 3 on modern Linux? I tried to run it and nothing happened, ran it through the command line and it asked about libartsc.so.0 library which I can't find anywhere.

Quoting: mr-victory

Quoting: amataiI am totally lost with all that game manager.

Steam and Itch.io have Linux clients.
Heroic is for managing Epic, GOG and now Amazon.
Lutris supports everything and the kitchen sink. Use it for anything that isn't from any of the sources above. EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar etc.
Bottles is useful for .exe installers.
These programs have overlapping functions, which means you can use one of them instead of another. I just listed their primary functions.

I'd like to see Heroic support Ubi and EA games, I have several on UbiConnect and the freaking launcher uses 3GB+ of memory (I guess it's a bug with Proton/Wine/Angle/WebGL and whatnot which Ubi obviously won't solve)
