KDE apps like Kdenlive get big upgrades for KDE Gear 23.04

Did you know that you can import .kdenlive projects to another KDENLIVE project for a while already?

That's what I did so far when stuff becomes cluttered. Works just like in Blender.

Can even be worked with, like cut again 😄

Is that with our without Steam?

…cuz Steam tends to map everything to a virtual gamepad hiding the real thing and that may not work with X4.

Quoting: ValckThis is likely not about you setting cookies, but being an external site
I'm also that external site and I ain't setting no stinky cookie 🙃

Thanks for your praise :) That really motivates me to do such stuff.

The flying part is kinda optional and only really required at the beginning. It's a sandbox game where it happens that you can also fly every ship :woot:

…and I'm totally bonkers on this anyway.

Perfect. I just figured that out too: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=414524&p=5172395#p5172395 [External Link]

My default config is empty and the shipped lib seems to default to alsa. Setting this (or ALSOFT_DRIVERS=pulse) seems to do the trick

Huh… the shipped openal.so failed to play nice with PipeWire. Chances are it also doesn't work on PulseAudio. It only offers default and Jack. I assume that's Alsa and Jack.

I removed `game/libs/libopenal.so.1` and now it picks up the system's lib and all is good:

ldd X4
[...]
libopenal.so.1 => /lib64/libopenal.so.1 (0x00007fe66d25c000)
[...]

:wub: that game. Just finished downloading my copy (after one failed attempt, thanks GoG!)

Also: Looking for Linux players interested in trying a modification I wrote specificity for Linux for stuff like companion apps. _No_ Proton players please. This is indeed platform depending.

Just checked. Works for me even with launcher on Steam with Proton Experimental on AMDGPU.

Don't see no launcher with GoG. Does this point to BSG.exe in Steam?

Gents… new game suffering from performance issues is not exactly hot news. Give it some weeks 👌
