Nice! Feels like I should start the game from the beginning.

Thanks, but no, thanks. I won't trust Nvidia to play well with Linux and they'll poison any efforts Intel have there.

A bunch of people in that thread are asking what AMD plan to do with amdvlk for Windows if it's not going to be developed?

So shouldn't it just be added to their free game library instead of mods?That's exactly what it is. A separate game id.

I guess KDE Linux is a replacement for Neon? Not a fan of Flatpak installations though but now I see why KDE developers are busy with all that $HOME/.var/... stuff.

Where are you, Marshall? You are outnumbered!
Fun game, but original works relatively well anyway?
Soundtrack for the game is an all time classic:

I don't expect esync to be re-enabled though. They merged part of nstync preparations which I guess makes maintaining esync patches a mess and they don't want to do it. But on the other hand I wish they still did it, since ntsync is delayed.

Esync patches are still disabled in this release. Sticking to 10.10 until NTSync makes an appearance.Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing. Unfortunately ntsync progress hit a snag and it will take some time before they'll sort it out.

I'm disappointed that there hasn't been any (visible) progress on ntsync patches merge request.They are working on it. Apparently there were some problems with the current version which they still didn't resolve.

Easy Anti-CheatThe usual culprit. It's good that developers at least are trying to remedy it, good contrast to the likes of Roblox who don't care about Linux support at all while pretending that they are "testing" it.
