Beautiful space combat game EVERSPACE officially out of beta for Linux and now on GOG

Quoting: Mountain ManWish it was more than just a shooter.
Yeah, I'd prefer more emphasis on exploration, but they had to cut corners with randomly generated universe.

Dark fantasy shooter 'Apocryph' released recently with Linux support, it's messy

I don't get it why they can't release it on itch, if they even already have a page there. GOG would be nice, but it's a more complicated process normally.

Nice, but unfortunately Steam only. itch.io has only the Windows demo: https://bigzur.itch.io/apocryph [External Link]

Quoting: Avehicle7887Borrowing some time off TW3 might help with that ;)
Heh, I'm actually not playing it, just testing periodically to see if anything improved. I've been playing Ruiner recently.

Just got my GOG key from Obsidian backer portal. Now I need to find time to play it :)

Good, I'm a backer, but it wouldn't have been nice not to make it available for all Linux gamers.

Indeed, no Optimus horrors please. Do they have some laptops with Ryzen + Vega?

DXVK, the Vulkan compatibility layer for Direct3D 11 and Wine has a fresh release reducing CPU overhead

Quoting: MohandevirI've been able to install and make Steam's Witcher 3 start following cRaZy-bisCuiT's how-to, with Wine 3.7.

In fact I copied the game folder of my Windows install to my wine prefix. This said, it's really laggy and slow. Better than stock Wine but not really playable. It's far from the Windows version with the same hardware (i7-3770, GTX 960, Nvidia 396.18). Any clue what might be wrong?
Better use this thread for it.

RUINER for Linux had another update, fixing cutscene quality and further improving performance

Quoting: CorbenHow many tracks does the Soundtrack from Steam/GoG have? If there are 15 tracks only, it looks like there is a different "version" of the OST on Spotify, with 24 tracks.
I'm not using Spotify (not DRM-free), so that's annoying that GOG soundtrack is limited to 15 tracks only. Why can't they release all tracks in all stores?

I'll ping developers about releasing it on Bandcamp.

Quoting: rkfgSo, for you the game viewport occupies the whole screen without black bars on top/bottom? 1920x1200 is not a very popular resolutions and when these issues happen it's hard to find confirmations.
I just checked - and indeed it has black bars on top and bottom during gameplay. Levels are usually so dark that I simply didn't notice it until you mentioned it :) But when loading, those red squares appear in the bottom right corner correctly. I'd consider it a bug.
