Awwww, took way longer than I care to admit that this if for UT 99 and not Gold. 227 patch for Gold is a pain in the ass to get working.

Quoting: parkerlreedBioshock 1 Remastered is broken even with this. There's ZERO launcher files in the depot and it complains that it can't find LauncherPatcher.exe

Did they silently push an update fucking it over even more?

Verified files. Nothing there.
That's what I'm talking about. I've tried removing and reinstalling. Verifying. Tried all the fixes. Nothing works and I'm running Windows 11. The files aren't there in the depot. Putting the executable path with -nointro %command% into the start options doesn't work.

The one thing I haven't tried is spoofing the launcher executable because I'm not going to put that much effort into it at this point. I can execute the binary directly and that works, but throws a few warnings. That's on Windows though so I'm not sure if linking directly to the binary will work on Linux.
Just tested and a simple
 
touch LauncherPatcher.exe

in the launcher folder along with the launch arguments from the main post is enough to get it working.

Compiled from git. Is there something I'm missing?

Quoting: BeamboomI'm gonna buy this game when I get the Valve VR set this summer. That's too damn sure.
Keep in mind the VR is a separate purchase at the full $25 asking price.

Ion Maiden, a new 3D Realms FPS has launched in Early Access with Linux support

Quoting: EndeavourAccuracyThey really couldn't finish the game first, and have to release into Early Access, huh?
No money left to add Steam Cloud support (or Achievements)?
I'm willing to bet Voidpoint just reused a (mildly tweaked) old 3D Realms engine.
Other than the nostalgia factor, nothing about this looks appealing.
Thanks for supporting Linux, I guess. Now, can we get more real games?
It's Eduke32 based. There's a Linux binary that runs in the GOG preview. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/80wxiw/ion_maiden_a_new_3d_realms_fps_has_launched_in/dv89dcs/ [External Link]
