Quoting: pbBetter remake parts 3 and 4 IMO. But hopefully they will get to that, too.
It probably comes down to money.
If they sell enough they can expand the process of mixing ai and human work to the other parts of the series.

I like to see a consistent series with high resolution and modern interface across all parts too.

Heroic Games Launcher v2.15 has expanded GOG support, EA games from Epic Store support
13 Aug 2024 at 5:11 pm UTC

Quoting: dziadulewiczThere is also a DEB [External Link] package for Ubuntu but it is hard to find through the website. Flatpak is not installed on Ubuntu by default.
Deb-get is a good addition for things that don't have a ppa

Open Source implementation of GOG Galaxy's Communication Service, Comet sees a first release

Quoting: RaulKong898I would like a simplified tutorial because I can't understand from GitHub how to install and use Comet on Linux Fedora Workstation with x64.
The next release of Heroic will be created with Comet support https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/3727 [External Link]
Maybe it is easier to wait for that?

Quoting: dibzHonestly the Galaxy Client itself, ignoring Linux for a moment, feels mostly abandoned as it is. I believe the single person they had maintaining the integrations quit quite some time ago, and was never replaced.
The broken ones are community integrations which you can hardly blame the company for :)

Quoting: GuestStill wish they had Galaxy working instead but Heroic generally does the job at the level I need it to.
Is there anything you need missing apart from the fact that it doesn't use the wrapper plugins for other stores like Rockstar or Ubi and has a strict focus on reversed backends?

GoG endorsed Heroic Launcher in their Reddit posts and they gave the Heroic Team an affiliate link, so this is rather close to an "official" client :wub:

EA SPORTS WRC is adding EA anticheat, breaking another game on Steam Deck / Linux

Is this something wine can fix like easy anti cheat system calls or is it a Vanguard like Kernel Module that we can't get to on Linux?

NVIDIA switching to open kernel modules by default in future driver update for Turing+

Quoting: sprocketAs much as I would like this, they have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to old architecture support. For them that is Turing, which made its debut in 2019. And as much as I hate to say it, 5 years is pretty typical for hardware support across most industries.
There is a difference between keeping the necessary files and documentation from the community and writing the whole driver themselfes.
If they give us the , i think pmu it was called, part of the firmware, they could at least get a better standing in the community and say "here you go, figure it out, have fun" and continue with the modern gsp based driver.
