Quoting: Avehicle7887It's easy to give money to support the engine. I am however not amazed, this developer has left the GOG version of their first game abandoned with several missing patches (I'm aware 1st game doesn't use Godot).

Unfortunately, not just them. I've had other games on GoG abandoned because GoG supposedly makes it painful for devs to update games.

Quoting: TermyGood to see some more love for VR on Linux - although of course i've sold my index in hopes of the frame in H1/26...damn AI bubble 😭

I have a general principle (which I have to repeat often to my wife, who is anti-clutter): Never get rid of an obsolete thing until you have the thing you wanted to replace it with.

The Wayland change will be huge once out of Beta.

FWIW, AC Valhalla was surprisingly good; though it does get heavily discounted occasionally. I got it from the ubisoft store for the equivalent of ~$5 last year, IIRC.

Of course the DRM sucks, etc.

Good stuff!

Quoting: JarmerI'm in the market soon for a laptop ...

I'm very happy with my 14 inch Tuxedo laptop. Might be interesting for you as well.

Probably cheaper than Framework and lots of configuration options.

Quoting: ScottCarammell...

You still have to have Steam running, that's why people like GOG. My point is that running GOG Galaxy once to validate the DLC isn't really any different than running the installers themselves, you have to go through their website to get them. It's digital rights management either way, the difference is that GOG's isn't persistent, whether with the installers or with Galaxy.

Quoting: GustyGhostAge (identity by another name) verification faces the same barriers that gaming anticheat has with Linux. They both seek to restrict users in some fashion on an operating system which is fundamentally built around not restricting users.

except a lot worse because while people like what anti-cheat does when it works properly, *nobody* wants this on their system

Age restriction can work without identity information (from just entering it in my computer to more sophisticated stuff e.g. the EU implements), and I as a parent do want age restrictions (and no, I don't want to observe every their step in a certain age).

Was it just the steam versions that were having issues? Maybe it's related to their enigma drm?

Quoting: GoEsrThe difference to Steam is that you only have to do it once, just like downloading the offline installers.

So...there's no difference? You can launch games with DLCs on Steam without being online you know, it doesn't make a difference once it's installed

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis works too; just tried all three classic RE titles. Not sure why it wasn't listed in the update.

Quoting: rea98715" AMD laptop with Thunderbolt 4 support would be amazing. Who am I kidding, it won't happen...

I'm still hoping for a 19" with a mechanical keyboard with the full PC layout including inverted T for cursors. I have very big hands and bad eyes. :D

Quoting: CaldathrasSadly, Bazzite is not for me. They have very poor Nvidia legacy hardware support. CachyOS, on the other hand ...

We have images for GTX 9 and 10 series. If you mean Kepler and earlier, they are no longer supported by Nvidia's own drivers. It's a Nvidia problem, not a Bazzite problem.

Quoting: kaktuspalmeI wonder how the System76 sales have been going since Framework is in the market. I have the feeling they are taking away a lot of their sales.

My feeling is that their lighter specced laptops took some heavy hit, not just by Framework, but also by AMD Windows laptops which often tend to be cheaper, better built, and work just as good. However, the higher specced laptops are probably not much affected as there isn't much competition there other than Framework which doesn't fit all tastes.

I wonder what it could be. I mean, Framework is already great with Linux, so what else could they be bringing to Linux fans?

If it's Ubisoft I won't buy their games unless I know they can be launched without the Ubisoft launcher getting in the way.

I can say for me in 2019 to 2020 I thought about getting a system76 laptop but since I got my first laptop in 2018 their was no reason to upgrade and system76 didn't have anything in my price range that would be an upgrade. I also started to fall in love with 12 inch laptops instead of my 15 inch. And since system76 doesn't have sizes smaller then 14 inch they stopped being an option. Then framework came along and I really like the concept and waited to see if they would survive, get the price down or if they would make a 12 inch. Then they made a 12 inch that came in pink, my price range and was a 2in1 that had pen support its my perfect laptop so I ordered one immediately.

Now I don't like some of the things in their big tent but I've had to work with and my family has had to employ people that would hate to find out I'm trans which makes me conflicted on the whole thing.

I'm in the market soon for a laptop ... currently my m1 macbook pro is showing its 5 yr old age. I'm looking for a 13 / 14 in for portability and all amd for linux support / avoid the disaster that is intel.

s76 has literally zero options. Nothing. Kind of astonishing. They only have two models of laptops that're under 15 in, and they're intel only. I almost thought about reaching out to their sales support to see if their website just wasn't up to date or whatever, but nah ... I'll just move on. Still, pretty amazing.

I go to framework's site: Right there at the top. 13 in laptop with an amd apu, matte screen, customizable ports, and repairability built in.

It's a no brainer.

Hopefully the Road to Vostok dev gets enough funding to do the same at some point. He already made enough to develop the game for years and years. Always nice to see. And it also runs crazy well on Linux. I do have a 9070XT, but it's doing 180-ish FPS 1440p maxed out.

I don't use the Epic store but I can leave a message to the author should they peruse this thread for some reason:

Thank you for your work, and for passing the torch!
You have certainly earned a good rest and I hope you have a good time with your future endevours.
Cheers and thanks for supporting Linux gaming! ❤️🌟❤️

I guess that would depend on how comparable their pricing is -- if System76 has lower prices, they might not be too heavily impacted.

Quoting: MayeulC

Quoting: brokkrI have had some games, notably Hitman WoA and Shadows of Doubt, get killed by the memory manager after they had consumed all VRAM (8 Gb) and subsequently all RAM (16 Gb) on my old desktop. So far the only fix has been to make a large swap partition - and play less of those games and for shorter time spans (probably a good idea anyway) Curious to see if this might help.

That sounds like a memory leak in the games (or drivers), this shouldn't really help, though the gameplay may be smoother for a while. However, that issue sounds interesting for mesa devs to know about.

Besides a swap partition, you may consider swapping to compressed ram (zram).

You're right, of course. It's been almost a year so I kinda forgot the nature of the problem. I did discuss it a fair bit on the EndeavourOS forums but despite some good suggestions and a lot of testing, I never got any closer to finding a solution.

I never really considered reporting upstream. Guess it's worth a shot.

I came here to see this comment and I'm not disappointed! 😄

This entire debate is so silly, it's not even funny. Anyone want to guess how many seconds it will take for somebody releasing a de-age patch for whatever distros chosing to comply with that crap?

Hopefully the Godot-devs (Juan in particular) actually start taking technical-excellence seriously at this point.
