Wine 3.0 expected this year with Direct3D 11, roadmap for future releases includes OpenGL Core contexts
30 Oct 2017 at 1:14 pm UTC

'rather bright future' is a very optimistic take on this. Yes, there are a bunch of plans, but is there the manpower? It doesn't look like it. I'm a bit shocked that wine-staging seems to be so separate from wine and that so few patches make it into regular wine.

EVERSPACE expansion released, will work on Linux soon and it's coming to GOG

Quoting: KuromiLately it seems that GOG putting little more efforts in Linux on GOG. Bunch of new releases (like Dungeons 3), some old ports finally arrived too.
Which old ports arrived?

Great! Thanks!
I'll break my buy-stop once the Linux version is on GOG.

EDIT: Does anyone know whether they get more buckeroonies if I buy through their store? (provided they offer a GOG-code)

Cyberpunk horror game 'Observer' releases for Linux today, no AMD support at release

Do we know the engine? Maybe they just never tested it...

Slime Rancher has a huge update with a new dangerous area to explore and a casual game mode

I have some issue with the new version. Fullscreen mode does not work, it sets the resolution to 0x0 which results in very severe graphical artifacts and it becomes entirely unplayable. Windowed works though, and windowed with desktop resolution is pretty much the same as fullscreen.
That stuff can be set in .config/unity3d/Monomi\ Park/Slime\ Rancher/prefs

Great that they add some stuff and some of the changes seem quite useful. Haven't tried yet though, will probably try this evening. The updated installer is up on GOG, no patch though. In my experience both installing over and uninstalling the old version and then installing the new one works.

openage, the open source game engine for Age of Empires II and more games is advancing

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTMaybe it could be fun for a LAN. But I don't see it will be seriously playable. Around Age of Empires II HD there's a new competitive scene and it's much fun to compete online. I think this will never happen for a open engine like this.
OpenRA has a competitive scene. RAGL season 4 happened recently: http://www.openra.net/news/ragls4-registrations/ [External Link]
Here is one video, there are plenty more if you look for OpenRA and RAGL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM8VAZh3Au4 [External Link]
There also were twitch streams during the tournament and all that.
These projects aren't that well known, which is about the only reason why their competitive scene is relatively small.

This looks quite promising. Support for Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds would be awesome. If OpenRA is anything to go by it will take a long time for the campaigns to be implemented though :/

OpenMW, the open source Morrowind game engine continues advancing

Morrowind is super old by your standards? It's only 15 years and all Bethesda games since are basically the same. It's a modern game. Maybe a bit dated graphics, but that's about it. This is no Adventure [External Link].

OpenMW is a cool project, it's pretty much better than the original already. They may have a different set of bugs.

What have you been playing and what do you think?

Quoting: ajgpLate to this thread, but Im currently working through my backlog of games promising I wont buy anymore until I at least make a dint!

On the go are:
Divinity Original Sin (Native Linux)
Elite Dangerous PS4

Backlog includes but not limited too:
Wasteland 2 (Linux)
Pillars of Eternity (Linux)
Victor Vran (Linux)
Xcom 2 (Linux)
Witcher 3 (WINE)
Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4)

and more!
We play quite similar games :)
I also stopped buying for now. The only thing I would make an exception right now would be Everspace, which has no Linux version on GOG at this time. BUT a dev actually replied there: https://www.gog.com/forum/everspace/linux_version_update_on_eta/post9 [External Link]
