That trailer did a good job.
Threw me back to 97 very quickly.

Quoting: HamishStill holds the advantage when it comes to Icewind Dale II since Black Isle lost the original source code.

Advantage, yes, but it isn't completable.
But that can actually be worked on - while an EE of IWD2 is forever out of the question.

Either way, Linux itself has the advantage when it comes to running IWD2 :grin:

Some Anno 1800 for me (what a pain to get it to work, with some unholy combination of EGS and Ubisoft Connect).

Also Control, the Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series (currently at the end of Dark Forces II) and Inferno - Beyond the 7th Circle.
All very recommendable.

Have been playing it for a few hours now.
It's really great fun, and not too easy, either!

And apparently the game is actually some custom packaged Chromium - at least that's what I get from the config/save folder basically just being that of a browser. Interesting!

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.
