Get ready to die every 60 seconds as the strange adventure game Minit has released

Quoting: noxLittle warning: I could not get the game to run properly with the GOG installer.
What went wrong exactly?

Space combat game EVERSPACE should have a proper Linux release soon
3 Apr 2018 at 2:34 am UTC

Quoting: Cheesenessbut everything generated and you can't move backwards, so while the game always has new things for you to find (whether that's ancient alien structures, outlaw bases, solar storms, a node that's too close to a star, etc.), you're not exploring a universe the way you might in say, Pulsar, nor are you learning to navigate environments the way you might in Sublevel Zero.
Ah, I see. I thought it's something similar to Freelancer where you can travel anywhere in the sector back and forth. Still sounds interesting, though I'd prefer a fully "sandbox" type of experience.

Wine 3.5 is out with their own Vulkan loader and plenty of fixes for games

Quoting: qptain NemoAre there any issues other than performance left there?
For wined3d I know of these:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43816 [External Link]
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43786 [External Link]

You can check the game entry in Wine AppDB.

Recently, I also noticed an issue with disappearing rendering on NPC faces which is similar to texture flickering above, but it's not the same.

Hopefully we'll see GOG release once it's out. Does it offer some exploration missions too, or it's about combat only?

Quoting: INSOMNIA_The_ArkHey people! Thanks for covering the news here. Will be happy to answer your questions :).
Hi, and thanks for visiting GamingOnLinux! Did you get some confirmation from GOG, that they are interested in your game? I backed the project after you announced DRM-free Linux version plans :)

Quoting: gojulThe Witcher 3 GOTY works like a charm w/ this release (except a bit of lag from time to time but not that much) ! Thanks to them for all this hard work !
I tested it with wined3d. Far from like a charm - performance is still horrible. Wine developers are still working on this (efficient buffer mapping), but it's not ready.

Quoting: qptain NemoAny water or monster rendering issues you can see?
These were solved with wined3d a long time ago already. Only dxvk still needs work for some of that.

I'm a backer and I hope DRM-free release is coming as they promised. In their recent updates they were talking only about Steam.

Quoting: PhiladelphusSteam got an official version of the patch…a week or two ago?
That's quite a delay then. I'll ask around.
