Quoting: ArehandoroThis is mine [External Link], very casual compared to most...

Seems like you forgot to switch your link to public. It's private by default.

Oh, well, guess I'll share mine too...



Mostly Paradox strategies (55% playtime), to no surprise.

Started replaying Mass Effect (LE) a short time ago, and occasionally also launch Europa Universalis IV.

Will try Victoria III today. :).

Quoting: EikeIf you want them to count for Linux
If you use the Linux native client, it counts automatically as Linux (unless you play the game more time on another platform within the first 2 weeks).
Well, it should count as Linux, I think, but then even Liam recommendation (on your link) ends with "If you want to ensure developers see a Linux sale: play it only on Linux in the first two weeks, don't buy it and leave it." That "don't buy it and leave it." confuses me a bit and so I always install and launch games for a few minutes just in case...

GOG suspends all sales in Russia and Belarus
4 Mar 2022 at 6:20 pm UTC

While I can understand what GOG is trying to do, I should say they aren't very good at explaining it to the customers. Yes, they wrote a statement, but that statement is somewhere at the bottom of the site, and on the second page already. And if I try to buy a game from them today (I'm from Belarus), I will only see that there is no box to enter my bank card number. No explanation, no link to the statement - simply no way to finish order. Looks like a site UI bug more than anything else.

Spoiler, click me

Also, on a side note, I would like this approach so much more...

Quoting: damarrinYeah, I don’t agree with gog here. They should keep selling the games and donate all proceeds they make from those sales to Ukraine. And put up a big banner telling their Russian costumers they’re doing it, let them vote with their wallets.

I scroll through all download page and looks like they are distributing 32bit version of NWN:EE [External Link] for free? I don't really need 32bit version anymore, but still, free distribution is unexpected...

Hmm...? Liam, are you sure with those stats? I don't see Pop!_OS in Top5. Ubuntu 21.04 is №4 and Linux Mint 20.2 is №5.

GTA III and Vice City reverse-engineered code is back up on GitHub

Quoting: BielFPsAny way I could make steam use the game launcher instead of the official one? I want steam to track my hours played.
You need to download windows version of re3 and unpack it over steam GTA 3 directory, replacing files. Then, in that directory, make backup copies of gta3.exe and re3.exe (just in case), delete original gta3.exe and rename re3.exe as gta3.exe. That's all, you can launch the game from steam.

Tested it for Windows D3D9 64bit re3 version, but it should work with any.

Proton GE gets some big updates but you may need to remove old Wine prefixes

Quoting: ST34MF0X
Quoting: TriasOut of curiosity - will deleting and reinstalling the game will be enough?
No, because the game's files and the gane's Proton prefix are not stored in the same directory. If something is wrong with the prefix, nothing that happens to the game installation directory will have any affect on the prefix.
O. K, thanks for explanation!
