Quoting: inckieI'm never gonna buy a laptop from TUXEDO, simply because they are manufactured by Clevo.

Don't buy Clevo.

What's wrong with Clevo?

Quoting: slaapliedjeNice! I thought Spore was an awesome idea from reading about it... but when it was released, it ended up being basically just a RTS with bland units you supposedly had a choice in evolving. So much potential wasted. Will have to try this out!

From what I recall Spore was intended to be more scientifically focused, this is the original concept gameplay:

Going to have to try Thrive out too, Spore fell quite short of its potential.

Yeah, I messed with the demo when it came out, loved it. Then got the full game and it rapidly just turned into an RTS where you had goofy looking characters fighting each other. Such a awesome idea, that they wussied out on and made a generic game.

Spore was so thoroughly disappointing, until recently I thought Peter Molyneux had a leading role in its development...

Quoting: SystemShockDid you always delete the wineprefix when you change from normal Proton to Proton-GE or the other way round?

Hooh - that question alone is enough for me to steer clear of GE. I want the "out of the box" experience, add a startup parameterer at worst, I do not want to start fiddling with Wine stuff again. Oh no, no thanks. :grin:

To be fair, I never had to do anything like that. Even when GE doesn't work, you just switch to a different one in the Steam settings for the game and that's it.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPProton-GE has to be one of the most wildly unreliable pieces of software that I use regularly anyway.

If/How it works changes radically for me per game. Some games won't work with it at all that work just fine with normal Proton, some games work, but with abysmal performance compared to normal Proton.
Or the other way around.
Or anything in-between.

Its the first thing i do when i have Problems with Proton.

No, I don't bother.
So far, I have (almost) always found a version of Proton that works for me, be it normal Proton or -GE.
If I need to start digging deeper than the config in Steam, I'm more likely to just refund the game and play something else. Unless it's a title that I REAAALLLLY have to play.

My GF is using a vertical mouse as well as her hand strains very easily (and always did). Really helped her with that.

I don't really have that problem, so I just don't feel the need to try it out.
Who knows, though, like most other people, I don't get younger.

I mean... what else is Valve supposed to say in their statement?

Quite curious where it'll lead in the end.

Especially because one of the issues is apparently a clause one where one party claims it doesn't even exist.
If that's really the case, then... ???????

So.... do you have a document in which you just record all the Wine puns and references, and in 10 years time you'll publish a book "The 500 best wine puns - Uncorked edition"?

Cause that's what I'd do.

My biggest problem with Feral ports (at least for CA games) has always been the VERY slow speed of updates compared to the Windows version.

How long is the latest TW: WH2 patch & DLC out now? Two weeks?
Feral STILL has not released the Linux port.
If people were waiting to play it, they will do so once everyone else has already moved on...

Same thing with mods. If a mod is updated to support the latest patch, it means the mod won't work with the current Linux version.

I know the blame for this isn't only Feral's, it is possible they are getting access to the files for porting way too late to do anything about it.
But their communication is equally vague and useless (e.g. still no release date for the latest TW:WH2 patch & DLC). They've even locked the thread on the Steam forums because people were calling them out on their non-communication...

I've been using Proton for Total War games for a while now. Also means I can play online with friends, most of which do not use Linux or Mac.
