What are you playing this weekend?

Always The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. Fall back to Left 4 Dead 2 when I just want to waste a little time without too much commitment. Started playing Masochisia and I'm interested to see where this deviant little game goes, so some of that. Recently got Kona and The Long Dark and have been checking them out and will probably do so some more. If I have a lot of time, I need to get back to Shadow of Mordor. And if I could get the friggin' sound to work for DeadCore, that'd be awesome.

I'd been planning to start work on The Longest Journey and Dreamfall:TLJ, with a view to knowing the back story before starting Dreamfall Chapters. However, I've been playing the "failing to get a game running on Wine" thing instead.

SteamWorld Heist (Great game!)
F1 2015 (Got black flagged in the first 5 races for cutting off huge pieces of the track, and knocking other cars into a spin. My Dirt Showdown experience didn't help this time)

@boltronics: very cool! I would like to do the same. So far I have compiled the latest llvm and mesa 64-bit but have not figured out how to build mesa for 32-bit yet.

Can you share how you build 32-bit mesa with the appropriate flags?

@mcphail Try playing The Longest Journey with the latest build of ResidualVM instead. Works much better.

Arma 3 marksmen showcase, because no mp server with people...
Payday 2, the biker heist
Police Infinity, also no mp server with people...

Quoting: KohriasCan you share how you build 32-bit mesa with the appropriate flags?

I also build the latest DRM (from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm), and then the AMDGPU (from git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-amdgpu). Say those are configured with --prefix=/opt/xorg and LLVM/clang was installed to /opt/llvm, for compiling Mesa I would use:

CC="ccache gcc-6" \
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} \
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig \
    LLVM_CONFIG=/opt/llvm/bin/llvm-config \
    ../mesa/autogen.sh \
    --prefix=$XORG_PATH \
    --with-gallium-drivers=radeonsi,swrast \
    --with-dri-drivers=radeon \
    --with-egl-platforms=drm \
    --enable-driglx-direct \
    --enable-gallium-osmesa \
    --enable-gles1 \
    --enable-gles2 \
    --enable-glx \
    --enable-glx-tls \
    --enable-nine \
    --enable-shared-glapi \
    --enable-texture-float

ccache significantly helps reduce build times. Also note the ../mesa/autogen.sh, as I'm building outside of the source directory (which is recommended... maybe required).

Then I hop over to the 32-bit schroot, and basically run the same thing... only I would use /opt/llvm-x86 and /opt/xorg-x86 for everything instead of /opt/llvm and /opt/xorg, and have /opt exported to the schroot like /home (so installing to /opt/xorg-x86 installs to the host too).

I also had to create some symlinks, some of which were for the Wine Gallium patches to find the required files.

/usr/include/d3dadapter -> ../../opt/xorg/include/d3dadapter
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d -> ../../../opt/xorg-x86/lib/d3d
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/d3d -> ../../../opt/xorg/lib/d3d
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri -> ../../../opt/xorg/lib/dri

That last link is ugly, because /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri has to be moved out of the way to create the link (and I don't generally like messing with things installed through the package manager). In theory that shouldn't be required if LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib/dri:/opt/xorg-x86/lib/dri is set in /etc/environment, but lightdm didn't seem to use it which prevented me from being able to log in. This is just a hack until I find a better way to deal with the display manager.

The appropriate d3dadapter and d3d links should also go in the schroot.
/usr/include/d3dadapter -> ../../opt/xorg-x86/include/d3dadapter
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d -> ../../../opt/xorg-x86/lib/d3d

I also have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-module-path.conf with the following:
Section "Files"
    #ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
    ModulePath "/opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules,/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "Device"
   Identifier "amdgpu"
   Driver "amdgpu"
   Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection

In /etc/ld.so.conf.d/custom-llvm.conf I have:
# LLVM/Clang
/opt/llvm/lib
/opt/llvm-x86/lib

In /etc/ld.so.conf.d/custom-mesa.conf I have:
# libdrm
/opt/xorg/lib
/opt/xorg-x86/lib

# Xorg DDX drivers
/opt/xorg/lib/xorg/modules/drivers
/opt/xorg-x86/lib/xorg/modules/drivers

# mesa
/opt/xorg/lib/d3d
/opt/xorg-x86/lib/d3d
/opt/xorg/lib/dri
/opt/xorg-x86/lib/dri
#/opt/xorg/lib/gallium-pipe
#/opt/xorg-x86/lib/gallium-pipe
/opt/xorg/lib/vdpau
/opt/xorg-x86/lib/vdpau

# experimental
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/d3d
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/d3d

Don't forget to run $ sudo ldconfig each time you install files into these directories. This eliminates the need to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for everything going forward.

Hope that helps.

X: Rebirth. Got it with both DLCs for $8 on GOG. Great graphics, performance is good too except for some hiccups when entering highways. But if this is supposed to be the most newbie friendly X game, I don't even want to know how the older titles play.

Well, I was eyeing Divinity original sin for quite some time, and the last week GOG sale with a 50% reduction made me commit.

For now, I don't see why all the praises, but I'm just starting in the 1st city, so it might be that.
Seems still pretty linear, but less that Pillar of Eternity.
Otherwise, I found out that Factorio is still as time consuming as was when I bought it.
Damn those biters!

@boltronics: thank you very much! So I guess I have to compile llvm for 32-bit next ;-) I did not think I would need xorg in 32-bit as well - that sound quite troubesome.
