The list of supported games contains two items that hurt:

1) Red Faction II: What a bland game and horrible sequel to a fun game. The first one isn't without flaws, but it has good moments.

2) GTA 3: I'm still very annoyed with the way re3 was handled – probably only to promote the cheaply made remaster.

That's a big surprise.

We apologize for the inconvenience to our fans on Linux and appreciate their patience as we worked on a fix.

And that is a surprise as well. Usually it's something like we are sorry that a minority of you didn't like what we did.

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.

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo they're probably totally Linux people.

Surely you mean FreeBSD people. :tongue:
