There are STILL people believing Star Citizen will ever come out?
Impressive!

Optimism never dies ;)

I've been monitoring this for a while.
Looks really promising.

That sounds awesome. I already liked Planet Coaster, but it there scenery really has no value besides some "nice looking" area of effect.
This approach sounds far more interesting.

Stop it! There are already 50+ games on my wishlist :whistle:

It looks like Descent alright.

But I feel I have really outgrown arena shooters where there is nothing but the twitch reflex gameplay to keep you interested.
The latest Doom or Shadow Warrior have shown that you can spice things up and still have pretty great reflex gameplay alright.

With this, I'm sure I would play for an hour or two and then move on. I really need more than bare bones.

Well, at least multiplayer is planned at some point.

Well, I hope they learn not to announce stuff they don't know jackshit about in the future.

Quoting: dannielloCodeWeavers it is company that is mainly responsible for wine development.

Is that so?
Didn't know that, checked the website and at least they claim so.

Makes it indeed worthy to support them. I always wanted to try CrossOver, but the price pushed me away before.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThe one thing Wine truly needs is a good UI. Prefix management, vital software installation, etc. is so far purely done on the console - and not really in an intuitive way.
Winetricks isn't exactly easy to use, either.

And PlayOnLinux is just years behind in maintaining a useful list of games.

They should really invest some time to "just make it work" or easy to use.
Right now, you always have to fiddle around with it to get anything to work.
That is the number 1 reason many people don't even try use it even if it could run their games.

Check out Q4Wine [External Link] (Otherwise known as Qt4Wine). It is a GUI frontend based on Qt4 which features a built-in Winetricks (Requires installing/updating 1st), prefix management, built-in AppDB, ability to add a library without running WineCFG for the specific executable and more. I myself am using it and so far it does a great job.

That's nice and all, but what I meant was one that comes with Wine itself. An official one that will not be left out in the desert to die if the original maintainer decides he wants to move on and do something else.
I understand the necessary separation between wine itself and a GUI on top, of course. But an official UI that would always be installed with it would go a very long way.

Integrating something like Q4Wine to make it the official one would work as well.

It also doesn't help that the wine version that comes with Ubuntu seems to be the ancient 1.6.

Edit: had a test run of Q4Wine. Not very convincing. I cannot run anything from it without it completely freezing afterwards. Freezes after running Steam, after running winecfg, sometimes right at start, etc..
And I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, so nothing crazy. Only got it to work reliably again after a reboot.
