This is really, really big. Haven't been this excited about Linux gaming since the release of Proton.

I've finally gotten around to try a classic series: Myst !

I've been on a bit of a point-and-click spree those past few months, starting with Quern [External Link] then replaying all The Room [External Link] games. It was only natural to continue with the franchise that pretty much kick-started the genre.

I am almost at the end of the 4th game, without any external help so far. Hoping I can keep that going for the final game.

And yes, I'm playing on Linux with Proton :smile: All games have worked out-of-the box so far except one (I think it was Myst 3) that required a bit of tweakery. ProtonDB was very helpful for that, as always.

Phew, glad that's off our chest. With how uneducated the justice system is about IT stuff in general, this could have ended very badly.

Quoting: MayeulCThis is huge, especially the bit about they releasing it on flathub.

I wish they built it for ARM as well, though maybe it is usable in qemu-binfmt? Is it using HW-accelerated decoding with VA-API or similar?

I also wouldn't be surprised if it ends up reverse-engineered.

This ! Steam Link would go very well with the Pinebook Pro (well, assuming it can use the hardware decoder)

Huh, no friggin way. I liked the first chapter, it was a short and sweet little demo, but had no idea a sequel was coming.

I love Myst-like games and there aren't enough of them, so I'll watch this one with great interest :smile:

(the first chapter had awful performance though, I don't know if it's a Linux-specific issue but let's hope they'll fix that)

If you like this type of games too I highly recommend checking out Quern: https://store.steampowered.com/app/512790/Quern__Undying_Thoughts/ [External Link]

Quoting: 3zekiel

Quoting: DoctorJunglist

Quoting: BeamboomVK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type still missing though :(

/*-That's what I'm waiting for as well, it's needed for Cyberpunk 2077.

I hope it doesn't take Nvidia too long to incorporate this extension into their drivers.

Quoting: ikirutoRTX 2060 and Ryzen 1700 works without problems on Proton-Experimental with the settings in the screenshots and hex fix.

gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip

Use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe.
Replace "75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08" with "EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08".
Replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8".

It seems the fix should be in exe for Nvidia. (second hand info though)

Doesn't that hex edit only affects the core scaling of the game ? Vk3d3d devs were saying that the engine is relying on undefined behavior in DX12, which is the cause of the crashes. I doubt core scaling has anything to do with that.
Besides, the crash are very random, so just because he didn't experience them after applying the fix doesn't mean the issue is solved.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: cdnr1Zero-k on steam is also a realy good one

It might be free, but it's Windows-only.

They also have a Linux version on Itch.io : https://zerok.itch.io/zero-k [External Link]

Been getting back into Factorio too (though my base is nowhere as impressive as @Ehvis' :grin:)
