Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: LanzMusk's buyout of Twitter might just be enough to convince me to use it. It was nothing but an echo chamber for the left prior to the buyout, and frankly, that's boring to read and really nauseating. Neutrality is very much welcomed.

Hahaha sorry but that's hilarious. Both sides always think it's against them. I'm on the "Left" and see absolutely masses of right wing bull. It's very easy to find too.

I am not on Twitter. But I think one problem already is, to divide the people in "left" and "right". Even more senseless here in Germany, where "right" and "right extreme" is often used as it would be the same.

The thing I miss is, that people listen to each other and then discuss things. But today it mostly is like identifiying the other as right or left.
If you are left, you must hate the right wing person or at least prove they are wrong.
If you are right, you must hate the left wing person or at least prove they are wrong.

And even a lot of people today seem to be not able to respect a person who is "on the other side". I personally wouldn't even identify in one of these left/right side.
I look what argument is sensefull to me, and oh wonder, sometimes I do more agree with the left side and sometimes with the right side.
That makes me perhaps absolutely incompatible with Twitter. Both sides there would hate me, as you must agree or you get the hate.

Feels like a vegan magazine that is supporting steak houses.

I am eager to buy a Index. But only if I can use it well on Linux. I have no motivation to start dual booting for it.

"Steam Deck Developer Mode does not turn off the read-only filesystem"

Hmm, turning off the file system would be a bad idea, wouldn't it?

:whistle:

Egosoft continuing showing their commitment to their fans

And to Linux!
A great game and I will surely jump in again, as there is so much left to do in my universe.

Sounds really bad.
Perhaps the publishers give a fuck about the rating. They may think:"If Valve makes it work, fine. If not, the people can install Windows..."

What a bad experience. That is the kind of thing, that can make the Steam Deck a failure.

I hope to get Gothic Remake supported on Linux.
I loved the Gothic games so much when they were released.

Quoting: GuestIt's possible to bypass EAC and still play Online (at least that works for me on Pop_OS 21.10)
1. Use Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge]
2. Disconnect from network
3. Start the game normally (without swapping files as mentioned in the article)
4. Reconnect network
5. Go online in-game
6. Enjoy :D

You could have sold that cheat.
Perhaps it works on Win too?

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: einherjarBut these last minute changes did not prevent TW WH3 from running very well on Proton OOTB without special work being done for it.
And forcing shader compile at start is really not that problematic.

Great that it's working for you. Unsupported.

it's okay to disagree. But please don't put things in my mouth that I didn't say.
I did never say it work for me. It works well, and you can check that on ProtonDB. Surely it does not only work for me. And on Steam you also find a lot of Windows gamers complaining about crashes and bad performance. So it seems to not run worse than on Windows.

Quoting: GuestUnsupported

OMG. I said it would be great if it would be supported via Proton and you reply with "Unsupported".

Let's agree to disagree and I am out of this discussion.
Have a nice day.

Quoting: GuestFrom what I know of such things, there are changes right up to the last minute. And don't forget the stuttering of shader compilation that can happen with using DXVK.

But these last minute changes did not prevent TW WH3 from running very well on Proton OOTB without special work being done for it.
And forcing shader compile at start is really not that problematic.

Quoting: GuestThen add on top that you've just suggested they knowingly release a sub-par experience because "it can be patched later" -

That is a common thing nowadays. TW WH3 is being worked on and if you really want Linux releases to be delayed until the time everything is optimized and nearly bug free - the market will be dead. No one wants to wait for a game that his friends on Windows already play.
Especially if they ask you to play with them in coop.

Quoting: GuestAnd then you keep saying "Proton" like it's a cure-all, which it isn't, and Valve can (and do) change it on a regular basis (making it a running target).

No, I did never say that. It is an existing tech that can be used to achieve the goal of sameday or at least same week releases.
And even if Valve changes things, the prior versions can still be used and optimizations for a special game can be made and also you could ship a game similar to a bottle with the Protonversion you like.
So where exactly is your moving target problem going?

Quoting: GuestThere are reasons that very few games offer official "Proton" support. It might work fine, they might tweak to make it work ok, but how many actually officially support it? That number is less than you might think.

Of course, and the most shining reason is market share.
But if you do a port anyways and use a similar self developed technology instead of the existing one that works already, than your customers have to wait month longer, than the Windows customers....
