Quoting: riusma

Quoting: MayeulCIIRC, the story is broken if you don't set the LC_COLLATE=C environment variable (with the game depending on locale-specific file sorting to pick the next level). I wonder if they fixed that as well?
I backed this game, but I admit I have so much fun stuff to play, and so little time, that I haven't gotten around to finish this one.

I don't have any environment variable set and managed to play the full story (almost, never finished the last level... shame on me, finishing the boring - ihmo - story is the only way to enjoy the game freely) so maybe it has been fixed. :|

It only happens if you have a locale that sorts differently than the one on the developer's machines, though. I believe I used FR_fr.utf-8 (on slackware) back then.

Quoting: massatt212is their a GUI app to symlinked im tired of the terminal

Creating a shortcut in KDE dolphin (drag and drop, link) should do just that (a symbolic link)

I suspect people would likely have better performance with another filesystem than ntfs/fat. But I can see why dualbooters would have trouble deciding on the Windows/linux split. I've been there in the past (and just kept deleting games from the windows side and enlarging the Linux one, until Windows was no more :)

I had a blast with this one, was really surprised at how smoothly it went. However, I agree that I am a bit afraid they might add some anti-cheat and ruin compatibility with Proton.

Mmm, this could actually make a decent home server/game console/htpc combo, I guess?

I doubt there will be enough expansion (pcie) or sata ports to make it a highly useful server, though, but I might justify buying one with this argument. On the other hand, I never used any Atari console, so it's not like I have some nostalgia drive. I'll just wait and see.

Edit: why not make the front light RGB, though? It would be better to convey more messages, prettier (the user can customize it), and hopefully able to be turned off (not everyone like a white light in the face, esp. in a dark room in front of a screen, so red or off could be better options here).

As strange as it might sound, it seems that Valve has leak issues.

Well, at least there wasn't too much content on those pages.

I'll plead guilty to one of these platinum reports, as I've had a blast with Risk of Rain 2. I played it for 20 hours this week-end, and even though it's still in early access, it's playing great already.

I bit the bullet and bought two windows-only games for once, this one and No Man's Sky. ROR2 worked out of the box for me, and online multiplayer with a friend on windows worked great (we used to play ROR together with local co-op). You'll definitely want to invite some friends over, Liam ! (Although it's still quite fun in singleplayer).

I hope they'll see the Linux numbers, but the game seems to have had a warm reception on Windows as well :)

Looks like the last beta update fixed the remaining issues for me, from ~10min ago.

Arstechnica has an interesting image with enhanced contrast: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/03/valve-index-is-the-game-makers-brand-new-vr-headset-slated-for-may-2019/ [External Link]

A couple dots are barely visible on it, but it hints at it being compatible with the lighthouse tracking system :)
Of course, there's no telling whether it also includes inside-out tracking... But those lenses might be able to provide great AR experiences :)
