Quoting: da_habakukstill on 4.12.1~buster wine-staging on debian stable :( but i started to move to steam+proton(-GE) anyways :)
for gaming sometimes i wonder if it wouldnt be better to be more bleeding edge with archlinux etc..
my mesa is still on 1.8.
No need to do anything drastic.
While Debian Stable isn't really the best choice for gaming, there's a quick fix for mesa and amdgpu, just pull them from Testing. You can grab Wine directly from WineHQ repo. :)
Stable has some very specific use cases and I would really think about upgrading to Testing fully for a gaming rig.

grudgingly clicks like :S:

I desperately want to believe Epic is being A Good Guy here, but there's that nagging feeling deep inside that I cannot shake. It's not quite "M$ hiding their current EEE stratagems in plain sight under the banner of 'Microsoft loves Linux'" level of apprehension... hmmm.

Anyone know which engine they use? It better not be GameMaker. :S:

We Happy Few for Linux and Mac being refunded, to get an "unofficial" beta

Both yay and nay... really wanted this game to turn out well.

I suppose it has improved a lot since the August 2018 release, but it seems to remain slow, buggy and boring still. Also rocking a fat 60€ pricetag for the base game, or 92€ if you want the DLC's. Yeah, that's correct. Plural.
This isn't the era of 'fix the game first'... :(

Quoting: SlickMcRunFastIntro vids have sound but the menu screen and in game are silent.
You could try launching with -nologos to skip the intro, maybe something borks when it should hand over audio to the actual game.
