I'll wait for more DRM-free video on GOG. Unfortunately, last time they tried, they failed [External Link] because of media control freaks. Otherwise, no thanks. Video is already polluted with DRM everywhere.
X-Plane 11 is now officially available with day-1 Linux support

Using some modern codec like Opus, allows efficient audio decoding. It's not an issue really, and surely not a reason to use uncompressed audio.

Regarding space. Why are they using WAV for audio? That's really wasteful.

OK, you need to use

--force_run

And there are apparently some crashes reported on the Mesa bug tracker.

Quoting: GuestYou get 15 minutes in the demo. I read if you let the AI fly the plane then it lasts longer.
Well, I got 0. It refuses to launch (see above). Is there some way to override a vendor string?

OK, that's really weird. Installer gave me this:

WARNING: had to use SGI vsync function.
X-System Error:
X-Plane does not support the Gallium driver stack.
First, try updating or re-installing your graphics drivers.
If this does not help, check your graphics card specifications.
For tech support, email ...
Sorry.
What exactly do they use that they can't launch on Gallium driver stack? Are they using some obsolete stuff from OpenGL compat profile? Pretty trash result IMHO.

What engine do they use? I'll test the demo shortly.
Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition officially announced with Linux support

From developers [External Link]:

64-bit probably won't happen for the release. We're working on it, though, and hoping to get it eventually.
I pointed them to using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 for 32-bit build. Let's hope they'll do it.
To no surprise the Cossacks 3 Linux version has been delayed once again

We’re still waiting for NVidia/Epic to fix the major graphical glitch under Linux, but we will keep you posted on that.
It doesn't sound like this fix is forthcoming. It's been a while since they found it, and apparently nothing is fixed still.

Quoting: KetilI already own the original planescape torment, but never played it. I guess the enhanced edition will make it more appealing.
GOG offers 30% off if you have the original.
