I do wonder what "unknown" platform is or how one would achieve that.

Should probably hold onto my Steam Controller in case they become a collectors' item, huh?

I've actually had this on my wishlist - and didn't even know it would get a Linux version!

Now I really don't have an excuse anymore, do I?

Quoting: JHey,
I made the *critical* error of buying it on EPS, and I have only ever managed to get it to run once.

Does anyone know list of setting that will make it work via lutris / heroic or manual installation of EPS?

Sorry to have to ask for help, I had it working exactly once....

nvidia 460.73.01 with a 1650 Super (not expecting great perfomance but any playable setting will do)

thanks :huh:

I am able to run the handful of EGS games I have by simply installing EGS on my default wine prefix, installing the game through that. And then either launching them through EGS as well, or directly.
I generally recommend Q4Wine to manage wine prefixes, makes it a lot easier than messing around with config files.
Of course, who knows if that would work for MW5 as well.

Heroic has honestly never worked for me, not even when I point it at the exact same default wine prefix...

Is the game good, though?

From what I heard it is just incredibly repetitive with the worst kind of procedural mission generation.
I'm a big fan of procgen, but when all it does is generate more or less the same mission every time, something went horribly wrong.

Of course, even in that case, it might still be worth it on a sale.

Quoting: g000hBeing an Epic Store exclusive means that "for now" it won't have a native Linux build. Maybe that'll change assuming it eventually appears on Steam.

That's what I would expect.

A linux build is fairly useless on EGS, so I wouldn't bother with that either until Steam release.
But given that Unexplored 1 has a linux build, I don't see a reason to assume 2 won't.

Where have you heard that Unexplored 2 won't have a Linux build?

I liked the previous game, but it didn't really blow me away.

However, they definitely pulled that one off successfully, so I'd put this one down as a rather low-risk affair as far as KS campaigns go.

Quoting: Liam DaweWell, thinking on it, look at how popular other handhelds like GPD Win has been and the excitement around things like the Alienware Concept UFO prototype and others. There's probably a good market for it, probably more so than VR I would say honestly.

Is it really popular, though?
This is the first time I've even heard of GPD Win and while I know lots of people with VR gear, I don't know a single peep (I invented that singular, u like?) with a handheld other than Switch.

But that is purely anecdotal and I'm clearly not the target audience. As I said, I simply don't know if there is a market.

Well, it does seem to be a more promising idea than the Steam Machine.
And game support is certainly WAY better now via Proton than it used to be many years ago.

On the other hand, I don't really know if there is a market for such a handheld.
I wish them good luck, anyway.
