Those are some powerful chickens.

It's probably a Zelda game

What a horrible thing to do.

Quoting: Geek_ChrisSarcasm aside it would be a logistical and costly nightmare, not to mention a potential GPDR nightmare if a data breach ever happens so thanks but no thanks

Postident would be a possibility that involves an external party, so the logistics are already in place and have been for many years. If the choice is having to fake a trip abroad (which is against the rules and might get your account locked) it might be preferable than not being able to buy things.

I still don't know what's going on. Is it single player or multiplayer? If multiplayer – coop or last man standing or whatever?

I still think that they made a big mistake with the Launcher part of the name, because that word is used for something different in the context of games. Maybe helper or container would have been a better choice.

Please… if this is the last beta, wait at least until Monday. Busting things on Friday sucks.

Quoting: CaldathrasMaybe I'm not understanding your response correctly but, my understanding of the whole point of the project is to remove the need for Wine-GE completely by essentially enabling Proton to function without a running Steam client.

Yes and no. Yes, it is meant to replace Wine-GE completely. No, it does not use the wine builds that Proton uses.

Perhaps the confusion is that Proton is two different things: a python script and a bundle of things including wine with lots of patches (some of them adding a Steam dependency).

I really should play Trepang2 – I bought it when there was a discount coupon.

Quoting: whizseIf built against the Steam Runtime there would be no need for a separate projects

No. The wine version used by Proton (official or GE) uses patches that make assumptions about a running Steam client.

Wine-GE builds have (or had since they are discontinued) have those patches reverted.

I've been waiting for the release for some time and I haven't bought it due to the delayed GOG release.

Edit: I've read some reports on Steam about stuttering that wasn't there in the demo.
