Wine Staging 2.15 released with more Direct3D 11 improvements

Why should you run Windows in VM if Wine can run something? Amount of effort in setting up VMs is way more than setting up Wine, let alone if you need to set up PCI pass through and what not. And it's a major plus - not dealing with Windows at all.

Quoting: tuubiA bit of a bother as I don't like playing in a window, but in this case it was acceptable.
Actually, you can set it permanently in:

$HOME/.config/unity3d/14HoursProductions/DeadHorizon/prefs

Like this:

<pref name="Screenmanager Is Fullscreen mode" type="int">0</pref>

And in KDE I can stretch it as fullscreen with F11, and mouse works fine after that.

I just tired itch.io version - the mouse simply doesn't work in the game. Did anyone get this issue?

Did you miss Shadow Warrior for free last month? It's free again on Steam this time

Still here? Okay, well, there's sadly no news on Shadow Warrior 2 coming to Linux. You can all stop emailing me asking me if I have any updates now
Can you try contacting Devolver Digital about it? Since they were more outspoken in the past, may be they can update on whether it's still even in the pipeline or not.

Looks like GOG Galaxy won't come to Linux any time soon, as it's "not a priority"

Quoting: appetrosyanThey don't have it as a priority because of CDPR's recent backlash for TW2's performance. They don't care about linux, because Linux had a chance to care about them and blew it.
Let's drop this "TW2 performance" topic already. It has nothing to do with anything that's going on today.

Quoting: Darkdisorder78It will never come to linux I suppose. They don't see us linux users as the type to buy their game. I bet it will come to MAC though.
Where did you hear that, and why would they see Linux users that way? Their publisher (Devolver Digital) said in the past, that they support Linux release of the game.

Is it on itch.io anywhere?

UPDATE: Indeed it is. You can get it DRM-free here: https://pixelwestern.itch.io/dead-horizon [External Link]

Strange they are using rar for downloads.

As a backer, I'm eagerly waiting for the release :)

The Witcher 3 didn't come to Linux likely as a result of the user-backlash from The Witcher 2
21 Aug 2017 at 7:03 pm UTC

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Well witcher 3 was never officially cancelled CD and Valve just stopped talking about it
Valve never talked about it. They just posted two ads, clearly sanctioned by CDPR. And while it was never officially cancelled, it was de-facto cancelled.

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon is looking for new games to port to Linux, pay not required

Quoting: LeopardBecause ( at least i think ) he wants to help Linux gaming a little bit more.
Making a high quality FOSS DX11 → Vulkan wrapper can help Linux gaming a lot more than porting a single title. In result, it would be easier to port games for those who can't rewrite the engine. With all the downsides of John Carmack's solution, Feral and the like aren't much different in what they are doing. They don't rewrite engines, they just wrap them. Could be on source level, but it's still a wrapper, and it's an OK solution as I said for those who can't rewrite the engine.

I don't expect Feral to make such wrappers open, but development funded by Patreon sounds like the perfect opportunity for it.
