I've looked through my Steam purchase history and I bought the Steam version of Dark Forces on 1 Jan 2011 in preparation of the then soon to be released first engine recreation by the same author. Then feature creep happened, then life happened and the massive engine was abandoned. I'm very happy that we finally have a real release.

Congratulations, Lucius.

Quoting: dziadulewiczExcuse me for not being a Linux guru and stuff, but how is the regular downloader supposed to know all this right off the bat? Windows folk get a clickable exe right?

Well… there are probably two issues:
1) Linux binaries are a lot harder to get to run on different systems due to the way libraries are handled.

2) The Linux version is very new. Preparing something like an AppImage takes time. They are not that easy to create.

Quoting: x_wingClone the repo, create a build dir and run cmake/make.

Most projects build a debug build when you do not specify -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release, i.e. cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release.

Woohoo. And it's not April.

Concerning AppImage/Flatpak:

The binary only depends on SDL2 and glibc, so that would be overkill.

The ROM to asset archive step requires Python with Pillow and PyYAML.

Quoting: dgwLooking at you, Paradox.

Even worse when a game did not start as a Paradox game. I'm looking at Prison Architect. That was a bad surprise.

Quoting: drjomsThis is exactly what people were criticizing Proton before it even became a thing.

According to Freejack's post on the first page this is not a Proton issue.

Surely you mean FreeBSD people. :tongue:

Quoting: KimyrielleMy most common complaint with some Verified games is that Valve seems to have a fairly loose definition of "legible" fonts...

I want every game to have customizable font sizes. Too small is bad and too large is bad as well.

I remember the time I played F.E.A.R. after buying a new monitor. That should be horrible on the Steam Deck.

Quoting: Moss49Hi, there, I've selected the hotfix on my deck, but Dead space refuses to launch what should I do to resolve this?

Have you tried turning it off and on again? I would make sure that the deck is online and then restart it to make sure that it picks up the updated Proton hotfix and shader cache stuff.
