What's the story with the GOG version? I still have it there, but it's not sold anymore.

Quoting: GuestThe new 1.1.1 seems like a really nice release. Only 3000 MB RAM usage in The Witcher 3 with Ultra settings: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zbMREcDt7XJwSamwkMaR61OVeC70CmDI/view?usp=sharing [External Link] 6 GB RAM is the minimum requirement if you want to run it on Windows 10. DXVK is wonderful.Interesting point. Is it due to compressed shaders?

In general, anti-cheat with invasive user monitoring is a bad idea. I'd just avoid games of that sort since it's not any better than some privacy violating DRM. Anti-cheat should be implemented on the server side, using AI methods of detecting behavioral patterns that constitute cheating (including non human activity like bots). In this sense, proper anti-cheat solution should not require any OS support on the client.

Just built it. Works fine with Wine 4.7 and Mesa master.

Quoting: GuestAs much as I like Godot, at present it's only amazing for 2D games, the 3D support is good but not great. Once they land the Vulkan renderer that might change.That's why I said invest. No need to buy stuff, help existing FOSS project progress faster like they did with Mesa and Wine. That would be a lot better than boosting Unity usage.
Planet Nomads has left Early Access and feels like a big missed opportunity

They should invest in Godot instead.

Personally I won't miss it, since I wasn't using Steam either. For me it's Steam exclusive becoming Epic exclusive - so basically not relevant. But Epic pushing more exclusives in general isn't helping anyone for sure. Exclusives are just sick.

Quoting: manokaraUE4 and apparently that's not a good thing, because it runs poorly on Linux.That's because they are dragging their feet with parallelized Vulkan support. You can monitor this: https://trello.com/c/lzLwtb5P/124-vulkan-for-pc-and-linux [External Link]

Quoting: DerpFoxMaybe Mumble is not adapted for that use case. I mean in integration within a game engine blending in the game UI. I'm also not sure that mumble provides any 3D space voice chat for in game use. Mumble is just a Voice/Text software after all as we meant it a few years ago.If you mean positional audio, Mumble has that:
