I agree that the scope of driver functions is very interesting but the actual size of particular driver cache is a little too deep from my point of view.

We have covered stuff like this plenty of times in the past and you're the first to make a complaint about it. Usually, people appreciate it.

Quoting: throghAnd GOG shows clearly that it won't stay optional as there are so-called wishes ignored from the community. A client for DRM-free downloads? People should better learn having their installations managed and it is easy under Linux, because there is no registry or component written if the user is following the normal concept of the HOME-folder. Simple unpack the downloaded data and overwrite the own, local folder. There is nothing more to do! I don't trust any client and I don't want a client having my local system managed. So GOG can keep this for their own! :)

Believing some nice lies from marketing? Better not. :D
By the way: They clearly have not much interest within Linux as they are treating customers and users of this system as second-class. The games Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light are not available until today for Linux (source for example. The thing is: They don't communicate with the users, even when writing a question to the support. It's always the same! And the client for MAC-OS was fast delivered after WINDOWS. But LINUX? Nothing seen for years now. And I should trust this platform? Good joke. They'll get money when having a DRM-free download / release for Linux, perhaps a classic or interesting game? But when this is not possible any longer, goodbye GOG.

Gog galaxy is an optional client, the only reason or atleast the most common reason to by game from gog is just because they are DRM-free. If gog changed that or made the client a must have to buy there games, Well there is already steam with toons of more games. There thing on the gaming store Market is being DRM free.

Stop buying games because gog doesnt have a Linux client, will probably only make them consider that Linux isnt worth supporting cause if the low sells.

Lacking of Linux titlen could be that gog dont want to support Linux, I doubt that cause of other titels and the upcoming gog galaxy. Its probably because of some horrible ports like the Metro games, or saints rows or dying lights.
Happy customers will comeback.

Another reason could also be the devs or publisher dont want to release the Linux version, the resoning behinde that is something I cant answer.

There could also be other reason but I doubt gog doesnt want to support Linux is the reason. We should be happy there is a store that want to push DRM free games and movies. And are trying to be an alternativ to steam, competition is healthy for steam, gog and stores like them.

Would this mean that we could finally use Steam Controller wirelessly on the desktop, sans Steam or SC Controller?

The problem for me is not the galaxy client, it's all the game that use to have linux support and got dropped by gog and still have it on steam... Plus all the new ones...

Quoting: GuestIf someone got access to your account [...]

You're running in a circle with your arguments and constructing scenarios again. The account holder is responsible for the security of their account. There are easy ways to keep your phone safe, like having the Steam app installed on a second old phone you keep at home only, and/or use landline numbers.

Quoting: GuestYou assume that everyone that plays Dota 2 has a phone[...]

Security and comfort always contradict each other.

Quoting: GuestThe trend is a negative one.[...]

Yes, but nothing concering. 7.00 hasn't killed this game, so this tiny little and imo overdue change won't either. CS:GO added the same phone number requirement ages ago.


Rest is offtopic.

Thank you. Whether the teaser belongs to DoW or not, DoW comes with high probability for Linux.

I kind of like the idea of the two sites merging and when you click on technical news it sort of swipes to LOL and Gaming news swipes to GOL ( but im being overly optimistic here and probably just day dreaming )

Typical PR BS. "We are working on it"®™.

Without any proof it is lols of hot air and nothing else.

Yes, this will be nice to have. SDL, in general, is pretty easy to implement as well :)

Quoting: operaNot sure if GOL really needs to cover that kind of low level implementation details of graphics drivers.
I agree that the scope of driver functions is very interesting but the actual size of particular driver cache is a little too deep from my point of view.

I personally really like having these tid bits. I do agree that I wouldn't want these types of news to be the main thing I read about, but I think Liam does a good job of sprinkling them in without it becoming overwhelming.

In principle I agree with you, but...

I am thinking that probably as long as this kind of news are not too great of percentage of total news, it is more simple and better to not doing such filter so _really_ interesting news will not go unnoticed. On the other hand if this is getting out of hand I would say news should be filtered more.

Then perhaps the deeper more technial stuff should go on https://www.lifeonlinux.com/

Quoting: ajgpI would like to see Gwent come to Linux (after all Gwent is a Unity game), but that wouold seem to require Galaxy at the minute.

Got Gwent via Galaxy running under wine 2.5 staging a few days ago and have played a few dozen of casual matches since.

Please note: Installed BEFORE yesterday's major update of Galaxy.

Posted my results HERE on Winehq

Makes sense. Where does it come from?

I don't know how Dawn of War III would solve the feral radar riddle but would make absolute sense, because Dawn of War is in Ferals porting realm.

It's from the DOW 3 steamdb page

I use Lutris to manage my games and to have a single launcher for my game library, but it lacks auto-update feature.

As for GOG, we asked them several time to actually « prove » that they're really working on a Linux version (by maintaining a dev blog for exemple). But their answers are always : "We are working on it, keep waiting".

They can make all the PR statements they want, I don't trust them anymore. Their multiple fails (No Dying Lights, no Saint's Row, etc…) are sufficient proof that they don't « love » linux gamers. They only sometimes offer DRM-free comfort.

On the other side, Itch maintains a client perfectly working on Linux with almost 1 contributor… well, guess where I get my gaming fix from.

Quoting: ZlopezI personally hate to manage the downloaded games. I forgot any game, that I don't see in Steam.

You can manually add non-Steam games to Steam to be able to see them.

I didn't know about this. Thanks for mentioning it. Seems there are a number of things you can use it for (other than having a single launcher for your entire game library):

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy/release_the_gog_galaxy_client_for_linux

The wish for a linux-client is one of the most voted wishes, but there is happening ... nothing!

I do not interpret a piece of paper with the text "We will develop a Linux client" to hang on the wall as a development of something. And there seems to be no more at GOG. These are dreams and illusions, if not utopias.

I won´t buy any game at GOG until the galaxy-client for linux is released. That´s my personal decision, because i don´t want to keep track of game-updates of my own instead of using an integrated system like the steam-client, which is available for linux. And that's what I wrote in the comments there.

Quoting: ShmerlI don't see any indication that Feral can't be ones who made SW2 for Linux. The only counter argument could be if you know that FWH have Linux developers in-house. Which by now isn't known as I said before.

After all we know SW2 is extremely unlikely. You are simply biased for SW2. Like others for Nier: Automata, Doom or whatever. What do you win? Should I list all the games that are more likely than SW2? This would be the half steam library. SW2 is one of the unlikeliest games to be ported by Feral.

Feral has no shares in Devolver Digital, absolute nothing. DD is working with a bunch of little developer teams like the Croteam, who do there own ports. Here is a list:

Quoting: UltraVioletdoesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest

I started the game with my Steam Controller switched on and the game seemed to work just fine using it, despite there being no obvious option to select a controller.

no luck for me with a xbox 360 controller plugged in.

how much are steam controllers?
