I have sunk a lot of hours into this one over the years.

Indeed, I don't think I've ever owned Battlecry 3, but I have the CDs for 1 and 2 around here somewhere. And of course the Baldur's Gate + Tales of the Swordcoast booklet of CDs as well, that one I know where it is. It still has as an honorary spot on my shelf.

Quoting: redneckdrowQuoteWarlords Battlecry III
Well, there's a blast from my past! I remember I got my copy at my local Big Lots' very eclectic electronics shelf for around three bucks. Somehow, they still get new copies of games of the same (and older!) vintage from time to time.
Everything from Warcraft 2's CD-ROM version, Zanzarah (think Pokémon meets Quake meets King's Quest), Battle Realms, to Lords of Magic.
Heck, I even got my original 5-disc copy of Baldur's Gate from them for $6 circa 1999.
These are available from Steam or GoG these days. Call me a fossil, but I still like my physical media. I hate that it's become something one has to pay extra for, at least for computers.

During February I have played through Shantae: Risky's Revenge, currently re-playing Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and will get to Half-Genie Hero after that hopefully.

Quoting: Stoney_FishAlso this was useful to get flatpak support in gnome-software (not just snaps)Yeah that is due to Canonical not liking competition, https://www.phoronix.com/news/Ubuntu-No-Flatpak-By-Default
sudo apt install --install-suggests gnome-software

Quoting: dziadulewiczThis is very bad if another app is needed to make the main one to run and with additional tweaks there. New comers can't know these things or most of the time will not bother. That auto detection of the installations should just be polished to work... Maybe it's not impossible even in a sandboxed flatpak.I agree. Though given how flatpak is designed, I don't think there is a good solution so far.

Quoting: ElectricPrismNow that I think of the Nintendo v Emulator lawsuit -- how would this effect Proton ???No, WINE would be like Google v. Oracle, which was pretty firmly settled in Google's favour, and thus WINE's.
If successful could Microsoft launch a lawsuit and say WINE is illegal? as it "Circumvents the intended use-case" ???

You can manage permissions etc through the application "Flatseal", it is available as a flatpak and should be in several repos as well.

Quoting: Stoney_FishI guess its a permissions issue for the flatpak to access my other disks.Oh yeah, that will do it. If your game files are on another disk then it will not be allowed to load them by default. (the flatpak only asks for access to the following folders by default:
I on Ubuntu 23.10 and it does not want me to manage Flatpaks in the App Center or in Gnome-Software.
~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dark Forces/Game
~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dark Forces/Game

Quoting: LinuxerIt still doesnt work :/ the force engine just crashes when clicking start. even on steam deck , how can this be? Can anyone help?? The gob is here an i chose it : /home/tux/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Dark Forces/Game/DARK.GOB but the force engine says /run/user/1000/doc/c149f46b whyHm... issue with xdg-portal perhaps? What if you set the path directly in:
~/.var/app/io.github.theforceengine.tfe/config/settings.ini
Does that make a difference?

Gave it a try with the gog version of the game. (didn't want to bust out my old CD )
Only played through the first two levels but impressions are good.
Great way to play one of my favourite games of all time. Looking forward to also be able to play Outlaws in the future.

- Soundfont works good, music and sfx sound clear and has good bass.
- Graphics just worked with regards to aspect ratio and scaling.
- Mouse input is smooth and responsive.
- Performance is good, no choppiness in the gameplay or other frame rate issues from my limited testing. (which can sometimes happen in dosbox unless it is set up properly for Dark Forces)
- The optional "Bloom FX" actually looks pretty alright.
