Strange, but Nightdive is a professional studio, and I trust they can figure things out. I'm a backer for the reference.

I don't think there is a point to worry about VR, until OpenXR is ready anyway.

I hope that unlike Deep Silver, they'll make sure Linux releases are getting bug fixes, so they can eventually be released on GOG.

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoIt stills use a lot of RAM here. Almost 8GB just for start the game.
I'm hoping they are going to fix this soon.
I think that should be acceptable today for demanding games. It is a lot in general though.

The game is DRM free on steam, so it should be just around the corner.
That's not the reason their Linux version is not on GOG. It's because they still didn't mark it as release quality.

Asteroid belt trucking in open world action adventure game 'Redshift 7'

Just got the game, and it's barely working. It says "press interact to talk". I'm pressing F. Nothing happens. No idea how to get into the ship even.

UPDATE: It suddenly reacted on F. Digitally generated voice is a cool option to save on voice acting :) Still no idea how to enter the spaceship.

UPDATE2: Apparently you need to buy a ship first, and I think I found it outside the hangar. But then the character got stuck, and I exited the game and started it back. The ship wasn't there anymore.

UPDATE3: The ship appeared back, but there is no apparent way to enter it. This game is seriously pre-alpha :)

Quoting: meggermanWouldn't it be great if at least older GOG Linux titles shipped as flatpack with your script work having set the correct wine version, configs and other libs. That way games could be bought and run with one click without the need for as much external work and user input.
Running the script shouldn't be hard. And using latest Wine has its benefits too. But the main issue is that GOG can't distribute what they don't have a contract for. For many Windows only games, making an "official" Linux release means they have to make a new contract with the publisher which can be difficult when legacy publishers are concerned. They simply might not care to do that. You can blame copyright stupidity for that.

Quoting: LeopardThere was nothing , it starts installing and then finished install. Terminal closed at light speed so i can't catch any messages from it.
Are you running it from inside a terminal? Or how is it closing then?
