Quoting: TheRiddickIs windows 10 using DX11 or DX12?

Both AFAIK. In DXMD you could choose the API from the options.

Quoting: appetrosyanSurviving Mars. Just like every game from Paradox interactive, this is an absolute time sink! Its gameplay is weird in that there is a clear strategic goal, very slow progression and a lot of places to shoot yourself in the foot. On the other hand this is the only game where I can proudly say I've come up with a system. Multiple systems in fact. Just, where can I get the 40-odd hours I've spent on terraforming Mars back? Oh well, at least I learned about project Mohole among other things.

I got Surviving Mars for free a couple of days ago and I've been trying to get it to run with Lutris ever since. Sadly I had no such luck.

Installing the Epic Games Launcher finishes (but with a lot of fixme errors) and when trying to run the game from the Epic Launcher nothing ever happens. I've tried various combinations of runners and settings (ESYNC on and off, DXVK, D9VK etc) nothing did anything.

Could you let me know how you managed to get it running?

Now to also contribute to the subject at hand, I've been playing a lot of Albion Online these last few weeks, with a bit of Frostpunk (SteamPlay) and GWENT (Lutris) thrown in for good measure.

The way it works on mine, is I simply installed the GOG version. My bet would be that the DRM somehow doesn't work on Linux. Fixme issues are commonplace with Wine, they don't usually mean much, and are related to the fact that Wine is an ongoing project.

You might want to open the console and see if there are any error messages when you run said game from EGS, most likely you'll see X.so not found and will have to install the library that contains that file.

Interesting to note. Is it possible that they might return to do shadow of war?

Quoting: NanobangGlad to hear Stallman is staying on since he neither did nor said anything wrong. In a saner world he'd win a defamation or slander lawsuit against Vice.

He said a lot wrong. And no, he would lose a defamation case against anyone who just printed literally what he said.

Anyhoo, GOL has a block feature. I have found it has improved my general experience a lot.

Thankfully we won’t have the chance to put the argument to the test. I don’t agree with what Stallman said, but I believe that the media reaction wasn’t proportional to what he said in that instance. It”s more akin to the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Quoting: Termydoom still crashes for me on vulkan unfortunately :/

You’re missing libraries. Which ones depends on your graphics card. You need everything vulkan related.

Ok. A newbie pitching in on the discussion.

My opinion: if you're a proffessor, you haven't asked for written consent before having sex with someone, and you haven't asked for ID, you're a moron. Nothing to defend here. If there was no sex act, the slander lawsuit will follow, if there was... not even Kardashian can save you.

His opinion: Stallman has radical views on sex outside of the scandal (he's fine with zoophilia, videos of zoophilia, consensual paedophilia etc., just look at his wikipedia page).

He's not stupid: He errs on the side of freedom and caution, e.g. a parrot has had sex with his hand without him knowing, so should he be imprisoned for keeping a photo?

The situation: He might have had to resign not because of one thing that he said, but because of all the things that he said previously. He's a bad mascot.

The problem here isn't that he was defending a rapist (he wasn't) rather that he voiced a void in the legislation and proposed a fix. People naturally misunderstood him (as usual) and mischaracterised what he said (also nothing new).

On a side note: F?CK GNOME . They owe their entire existence to the distinction between copyleft and opensource. I'm alright with them not defending him; the guy has some antics, and defending everything he does is... well.... impossible. But attacking him so actively is something else entirely, it's like if I started railing on my parents and saying that they should move out of the house they built and I grew up in, because of something that my dad said, when he was drunk.

GOTY material. Seriously: this is GRAND. And the one-liners.... I feel like we have a bit of a rennaisance.
