Quoting: bekoOriginally noted at: Egosoft Forum [External Link]

I got tired of waiting for the DLC packages for Linux on GOG to I started playing around with the Windows DLC.

* Installed Linux x4_foundations_4_00_45652.sh to /games/linux/X4_Foundations/
* Installed the package `innoextract` (v 1.8) (For me: `dnf install innoextract`)
* Put the Windows DLC files into /games/linux/X4_Foundations/game
setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_(64bit)_(45636)-1.bin
setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_(64bit)_(45636).exe
setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_(64bit)_(45636)-1.bin
setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_(64bit)_(45636).exe
* Extracted the Windows DLC files manually:

cd /games/linux/X4_Foundations/game
innoextract --exclude-temp --extract setup_x4_split_vendetta_4.00_\(64bit\)_\(45636\).exe 
innoextract --exclude-temp --extract setup_x4_cradle_of_humanity_4.00_\(64bit\)_\(45636\).exe

Run game, shows both DLC.
Selected Terrain Start and watched intro.
Reported back here :)

ymmv.

I am glad that on Steam I just can play ;-)

But it is nice, that you share that info.

Quoting: KohlyKohlLooks great. Will pick this up if I can ever find a 30 series graphics card.

I play it with a 1070Ti and I can play it well.
It is more important to have a CPU with good single core performance.

Hmm, at least I do not have a use for it.
Exploring the world is an important part of the game. If you know the world already, it takes away too much from the game for me.

But nice to know about it anyways.

Wake me up, when they can be bought without the stress competing to scalpers and at a reasonable price.
An RX 6800 XT would be interesting for me.
Perhaps in autumn this year?

The Linux "commitment" is kinda MEH.
I do not even read, that they guarantee that everything will work with Linux (not to even think about OOTB). Who wants to buy something really expensive, to try and tinker to get it (perhaps) working well?
At least, not me.

Perhaps they will be successful. If only 10% from the "Fridays For Future" people would by such a Laptop instead of a "cool MacBook", they should sell enough to make a living.
But I doubt this will happen. I have kids in school and see the parents and children that praise FFF - they do nearly all have big cars, mostly new Apple Devices, and of course always new and fine fashioned clothes.

It could also be a nice thing for schools - repairing is surely a thing there.

I wish them good luck. I would personally consider buying such a kind of environment friendly device at a higher price - but only with guaranteed OOTB Linux support.
The insane "throw away culture" is really not a good thing.

I rarely use controllers.
I tried Valheim with controller, but I was not satisfied and went back to MK.

But some game are nice to play with controller, so having the freedom of choice is always good :-)

Quoting: ShmerlStill no GOG release?

Actually, there is still no Linux release for Exodus ;-)

I finished TW 3 Blood and Wine 2 days before Valheim was released.
Since then, I am playing Valheim and a bit of CS:GO.

Valheim is really a great game and came with day one Linux release.

Quoting: Al3sI bought it and after 6 hours I just can't justify the praise it's getting. I actually regret not asking for the refund while I could.

I think it is normal, that the game is not everyones cup of tea. I am sure, there is no game out there, that is fun for everyone.
I am nearly 40hours into the game. Even if it starts to get boring today, I got about 40hours of fun for less than 17€.
A good deal for me.

Quoting: Al3sIt does nothing new: the wold is pretty empty and bland, lots of grinding with extremely boring mechanics, combat is nothing special...
Building editor is decent, tho.

There could be more to be found in the world. But hey it is EA!
And there are some details I really enjoy and did never see in a game. The smoke of my fire has to be taken into account when building my viking house for example.

The game is indeed great.

I bought it on Release day and have played it acutally more than 30 hours.

I showed it to a friend and he bought it after about 20 minutes of watching. Now his entire family plays it :-)

So one Linux gamer gave Iron Gate 4 other Windows gamers through advertising.
