Quoting: redmanThey are giving up the game preparing for the remake(…)

They've been doing it for a long time – I don't know why they announce it like it is something new or even time limited. Well, maybe they will discontinue it, but why should they do it soon!?

Quoting: MilesAn effect lighting at the back, sure.. but having it in the front of even front-bottom looks like it would be an annoyance or eyestrain.

I agree. I'm not a fan of bright LEDs shining at me. My desktop case has an ultra bright blue LED as a power indicator that's really annoying. Especially when it blinks if the computer is in standby mode.

What baffles me most is that they already sold (or are selling) three different docks. What do they tell the customers that want an extra SSD and the LED light? Buy both docks and switch them around?

They'll probably turn it into a rolling around simulator like the follow up games.

Quoting: elmapuli think they will use this oportunity to port any game specific code to unreal engine

It seems to be the other way around. The other studio will use what they made for the fourth part.

Runaway has a western town part. That's the only adventure I remember playing except Freddy Pharkas that touches the theme.

What I forgot in my other post is this: I would've been really interested in this release if it wasn't the fourth part in a series. I've never played any of the previous titles, but I'm not going to start in the middle with a semi-standalone game.

It seems to have many problems on Windows as well. Especially with Nvidia 10?0 cards.

Quoting: CatKillerI spent a bit of time on SteamDB checking the numbers.

Very interesting. Thank you.

So the absolute number of Linux releases has been constant for many years (with the outlier 2019) - only the relative number has gone down since the absolute number or releases has increased a lot.

I expect that it is too soon to see a real change in numbers due to the Steam Deck, but at least we get more developers that try to get their games verified which should increase wine compatibility.

The latest update on GOG still needs -force-vulkan.

Quoting: buckysrevengeI also noticed that the Linux version uses OpenGL, which causes some texture issues for me on my other systems, forcing the game to use Vulkan fixes that.

I've got the flickering in OpenGL as well.

No update on GOG so far, so I don't know if that fixes the issue. I hope that I don't run into the other issues which have been hotfixed on Friday for the Steam version.

Edit: Actually there has been an update, but the update notifications are broken at the moment, so I missed it.

Quoting: Liam Daweto saving on domestic energy bills because it requires so little power

But it requires a lot more power everywhere else, so it should be avoided at all costs. Huge amounts of data shuffled around requiring low latency. Generally speaking streaming and cryptocurrencies are a huge environmental problem.

I would even say that it excludes so many people because of bad internet connections that if it would be successful enough to cause a shift from locally played games, it might close gaming possibilities for most people.
