Good morning, it's question time here again on GamingOnLinux as we enter another weekend. Wipe that sleep from your eyes, grab a drink and come chat.
This weekend I have a tasty menu waiting, including some glorious flailing about in Rocket League (40% off on Humble). Even though 99% of my games are mostly me chasing the ball, watching it enter my goal from afar I still find it completely addictive. I'm slowly starting to learn how to do those slick rocket jumps (I even saved a goal by doing one—go me), but they're certainly not easy to be able to pull off.
I will no doubt be pulled into playing some more awesome co-op games with my son, he's recently taken quite a liking to Wizard of Legend which is surprising as it's not exactly an easy game for a younger audience. I think the fact that he can run around with me, as a Wizard and customise what spells he has (as well as using all my damn diamonds buying more) is a big selling point.
I was seriously hoping to finally be able to play the backer beta of Crazy Justice, but sadly Black Riddles Studio's communication has been repeatedly quite poor. The Linux version was supposed to be patched over a week ago which didn't happen, then again it was going to be patched "in the next two days" which also came and went without a word. Sadly, Crazy Justice so far has been a major disappointment.
I will also be testing more of censored which is coming to Linux. Jokes aside, there are a number of games I'm testing that I can't talk about right now, but we're in for a fun year.
So what are you playing this weekend and what do you think about it? Grab a chair, get comfy and let us know.
I will also no doubt be chasing my Rabbit around, telling him off for chewing everything possible.

Quoting: no_information_hereMany of those are quite hard! I find it interesting that in the "small" vs "fast" optimizations, my "small" solutions often feel more hackish compared to the "fast" ones. It might just be me, though.
Same here! For the small solutions, I sometimes have to

Now I try to get all those lore pages for all the cards in the game (which only give you a small story about the characters, nothing game deciding). You have to play certain cards a number of times to get their lore pages. It's deck building madness. :D

And then I'm gonna binge on Magic the Gathering Arena (closed beta) that I just managed to get to work via Lutris, while listening to my collection of Bob Hund bootlegs, Bob Hund is reportedly the Worlds Best Live Band as well as the Best Rock Band of All Time.

Quoting: GuestProton is using Wine 3.7 at the moment so any game that needs a later version just isn't going to work without some huge effort & lots of tweaks.Quoting: GuestWell, I don't have Gothic 1 on Steam, so I can't test. It works fine on my side, in all modes (fullscreen, fullscreen with virtual desktop emulation, and windowed mode). What's the version? Is it up-to-date? Have you tried updating it with the PlayerKit / System Pack?It’s v1.08j, of course up to date since Steam doesn’t let us keep old versions. I haven’t tried any patch. Mouse input works fine with wine staging 3.15 but not with proton. (Also music works with wine staging, probably because I have installed the directx dlls.)
I’ve seen some instructions in the GOG forums to fix a few issues with Gothic 1 and 2 (like screen resolution), but I’ll stop tinkering with Gothic for now.
Quoting: FeistI´m playing "Prey" (2006) the great oldie that works spendid with Steam Play [..]Did you know that there's a native version of Prey awaiting you, done by Ryan Gordon? Works splendid, even on Intel IGPs.

Yup I have the retail copy put the code into steam and the linux version unlocked for me
In recent days I've gone deep into Port Royale 2 & 3 (making spreadsheets to keep track of trade routes et al) and will revisit the Patrician series afterwards. I got to revisit Pandora in the original Borderlands (Still not released for Linux even if the sequel and pre-sequel are) as well, so I can finally connect it to the events in its sequels. I'm having some trouble with Fallout 3/New Vegas (but that's true for running it on Windows as well) and have to look if I can apply the unofficial patches to their Proton installations...
On the native side, Two Point Hospital has been a wonderful release recently, harkening back to Theme Hospital (which I never got working well through CorsixTH for some reason...) and the Early Access title Rise of Industry is making amazing progress.
So, lots to keep me busy this weekend, and probably through the next week.
