Quoting: rea987That's odd, BattlEye previously supported Arma III which was an eON port. It looks like VP's ports are compatible with BattlEye than Proton.

This is because VP used the native BattlEye.

Can't the same be done with Wine? I.e. create some library which interfaces with native one through Windows shim? Their answer doesn't make sense. If it works natively on Linux, it should be able to work in Wine as well in theory, as long as they implement what's needed.

Sounds interesting. I hope they'll release it in DRM-free stores too.

That's a great project, which will help quite a number of not very recent games that aren't updated anymore.

Quoting: GuestOh this is great, it might make some AGS games playable.

Isn't AGS using Allegro still? So I don't think it's going to help.

So why is it Steam only, if they even made it free now?

Quoting: razing32That is very .... odd.
Blizzard has been making some very anti consumer moves lately.
Curios what they would release DRM free on GOG , considering lots of their stuff is dependent on the Battle.net launcher.

I suppose games that GOG re-enabled for modern Windows. Diablo is the first and only release so far.

Quoting: DenaeHi guys,
no ETA on GOG release yet, but I'm in contact with Liam, and when it'll happen - I'll let him and you know.

Did you encounter any difficulties with releasing on GOG, or it's just regular "another store release" effort that takes time?

Major GOG related news - they signed up Blizzard to start releasing DRM-free.

Quoting: Desumthe point is that GemRB is a better long-term investment for people who love these games than Beamdog's binaries.

May be Beamdog can open source their Infinity engine remaster. It's something they should be asked about.

Quoting: ScooptaI'm always disappointed to see nvidia on top in the Linux world given their complete disregard for the Linux driver model. Maybe I just see that as a bigger problem than it really is given I've never owned an nvidia card but the fact that the driver is not in the mainline kernel and even worse is proprietary just rubs me the wrong way.

Not less important than the current value, is the rate of its change. Judging by GOL stats, the trend is healthy. Nvidia is dropping, AMD is gaining:



Blob usage will plummet even more with AMD releasing more affordable but high end Navi and Intel pushing out desktop GPUs with open drivers.
