The Linux version of 'The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep' to be released with the Director's Cut
19 Feb 2019 at 10:41 am UTC
Seriously, this game is nothing like the old games, different in almost every aspect. Which is, besides the desastrous launch state, the number one complaint about the game.
If you want something that is like the old Bard's Tale, play the remakes, those are really good. And run fine in Wine, at least when I tried.

Quoting: STiATOh, loved the others. Looking forward to it :-).
Quoting: drmothWhile it's probably going to lame, I'm still planning on getting this anyway, the nostalgia of the originals still runs strong!

A quick run over some details from the recent ProtonDB data

Here I was, thinking that the game was just using characters and background from books, and that the original author signed off those for a ridiculously low sum (100% his fault, not CDPR's, nobody forced him at gunpoint).
That he was also writing and voicing the dialogues, creating all the assets, coding the game and designing the mechanics... so basically creating 90% of the game was real news to me.
Thanks for clearing that up!

Quoting: tmtvlPlagiarism? You mean, Sapkowski made the game?It's also nice to see so many people trying out (and enjoying) The Witcher 3, with it being the second most popular game.Yes, very nice seeing plagiarism get rewarded. Good lesson for everyone: want to be successful? Just steal some shit. As long as Moorcock doesn't get his share of the royalties, I'll keep advocating for people to boycott TW.

I find this rather weird, tbh. Wouldn't there have been a better way to use the money? Like, hire a composer to get more music as the game's soundtrack is very repetitive right now.
The people who give money on Patreon are doing so in order to enable the dev to develop and improve the game, not to earn money back.
I somewhat understand shutting down the campaign if the money isn't needed any more, but I just think there would have been better uses of the money than giving someone 20$...
This also sets a rather awkward precedent, as now some might expect similar behavior from other developers. But Patreon != Fig.

I remember having serious windowing issues with this game on linux and wasn't the only one.
However, that wouldn't really a share THIS low. Hmm.
Bit of a curiosity given other devs reporting higher numbers.

A quick run over some details from the recent ProtonDB data

If you have to do anything else than just launch the game, it is not Platinum. Same if the performance is MUCH worse than on Windows.
If you can make the game run perfectly with some steps, as many of these reports say, that's Gold, Not Platinum.
What we have here is someone unconsciously (I don't think that is on purpose) skewing statistics, and that's not helping anyone in the long run.
The reports and hints are appreciated, but almost none of these are reports that should be Platinum.
I feel that ProtonDB should have functionality to report a report as having the wrong rating.

Quoting: MagbedFully agreed.Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThese are my platinum reports:See... i dont get why people mark them as platinum when there are so many workaraound involved... thats not platinum rating.

So many people using Arch?
I would've expected Mint second.
Of course, these stats say nothing about the people that made the report, right?
It would, in theory, be possible that each report is by another person, or that one person is responsible for half the Ubuntu reports.
I wonder how what such a "cleaned up" stat (as in, only one report counts per person) would look like.

Sunless Skies is officially out and it's truly an awesome experience

Starting parameters don't do anything, either.
Edit:
Found out that's a known bug, though, with a workaround:

Quoting: JuliusAnyone got Sunless Seas actually running? On my Solus Linux system it always crashes on startup.For me (on Ubuntu 18.04) it just starts as a tiny 0-pixel window. I can hear the music, but there's no way to make the window bigger.

Too many games that just end up in early access limbo, because some clever people think they can finance their further development with "early adapters".
Lesson: Gather funds BEFORE development, if you can in any way. If you can't, maybe think about if you really should be developing a game.

Quoting: pbWell that's a shame. I bought it quite some time ago as it looked interesting, but as usual, I waited for it to be fully released before I play it. Which seems to be never now.That's the main reason I almost never buy Early Access games. Better just to wishlist and follow its development than to spend money on something that will never be finished.
