Quoting: Quote from liamdaweI am always impressed at just how far Wine has come, it's insane to think they can do this without documentation from MS.

And it's getting better and better really fast. I remember few years back most of my games were unplayable, but nowadays I have a ton of them working with decent framerates and next to none visual glitches. Good job Wine team!

Quoting: Quote from minjLOL @ evil turtle

The audio seems out of sync this time

Yup, just noticed that too. I am not exactly sure why it desynced, but luckily it's a rather minor one this time. SimpleScreenRecorder complained about memory alignment problems during recording, but usually those don't affect anything. Hopefully we will not experience more of these.

Quoting: Quote from SabunGreat video, I was really shocked when I found out it was released! I was expecting it sometime next year haha :D

Quoting: Quote(Yes, I am looking at you Sabun and Xpander.)

Hehe, hope I can do something of the sort. I'm sure Xpander can :)
Your recording is definitely smoother than mine, but it could be because I'm using the 319 drivers which are a bit dated. Guess I should grab the 331 Beta drivers and game on! 

I hope more people will post Linux gaming videos, so we can get word of mouth out faster!

I am also using 319 and my graphics cards is inferior to yours, so your recording should actually be smoother than mine... Maybe you have something wrong with your recorder or something?

Anyways, having more Linux youtubers is really important and I like to help the newcomers whenever I see them. Luckily Liam has some interesting plans that he will eventually try to implement on GOL that should help the Linux youtubers in general to extend their audience faster.

Quoting: Quote from fabertaweSamsai - how did you get the fps counter in the corner? I've tried looking for info on this but have turned up a blank.

Thanks.

Xpander actually made a nice video about that in which he also showed how you can change the FOV. You should probably check it out:

If it's okay for you, I'd like to have the further DRM debate on a forum thread dedicated to it, because I feel we are moving away from the original topic too much. If you have opinions about DRM you would like to share, please post them onto this thread: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/456.

Yeah sure, having awesome games on Linux is most certainly bad news for Linux...
I understand that DRM is not a good thing, but DRM-free or not, having these games on Linux _is_ good news, either directly or indirectly.

I would like you to read this part of their Linux release announcement:

Quote4A Games and AMD are working together on improving performance on Linux and waiting for updated drivers from the graphics card manufacturer.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/MetroVideoGame/announcements/detail/1841138399631172025

That means improved graphics performance on AMD, which at the moment is fairly horrible. If this isn't good news for Linux, then I'm fairly sure nothing is.

Thanks Lars! I should've double checked the article before publishing, but luckily it's fixed now!

Quoting: Quote from JoeHaha, this article is tagged "horror". Is Wine so bad? :P

Sometimes Wine can be a nightmare, but I don't think it has any relation to this article. Tag removed. :D

Quoting: Quote from toorWell yea… why would I pay for a DRM version. Isn't this an abandonware? Working nicely on scummvm. Not like they ported it to linux right lol, it's just some trick I guess

Clearly not abandonware if the publisher is still selling it.

Yup, the rights were recovered by Night Dive Studios this year, so it's no longer abandonware.

Quoting: Quote from RenzaticI had problems with sound lag, too. After a bit of searching, I found this thread...

http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/15145-no-sound-in-standalone-linux-solved/

...which helped me fix it. It's a fairly simple thing that doesn't require you to jump through too many hoops. The digest version is finding the assigned name of your soundcard, and appending it to an entry in the .ini file.

Good to hear that the fix actually works. I might try it myself later today.
