Valve adds support for games using CEG DRM through Steam Play Proton
29 October 2021 at 12:43 pm UTC
Tried Sniper Elite V2 and Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light

both gave :
The Steam servers are too busy to handle your request for ....... Error Code (2)

When it works it will be great, much better than dropping in a cracked exe.

Update : Realized I was not forcing Experimental setting on the games.

Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light - is working

Sniper Elite V2 - brinks up a launcher window with a play button, then it crashes.

Just tried Tomb Raider 1 - it installs OpenLara and adds the music from OpenTomb. It's very nice.
You can also use Boxtron for a more original look, but better configured. I like that Boxtron usually configures midi music.

On Ubuntu 465.24.02 is available via the PPA but it seems to be missing 32bit and then Steam crashes.

After you mentioned the coming expansion Aftershock I felt I needed to get back into Ion Fury.
Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 1: Dumpster Diving
3 March 2021 at 9:12 am UTC
Hi Hamish,

I started with ZX81 then on to, Acorn Atom, IBM XT , 286, 386, 486, Pentuim 1 + 2.
In 1999 I got my Pentium III 500Mhz with screen, mouse and keyboard from Tesco for 1000 squid. Installed SUSE.

In one way I regret throwing away old PC hardware to make space, but at the same time dumpster diving is still an addictive pastime.

Thanks for the article.

SteamOS-like Linux distribution GamerOS has a new release, adds in Epic Game Store support
9 October 2020 at 1:03 pm UTC
I like the name, it says what it is. I have just installed it on an old PC with simple GT 710 Nvidia card with the hdmi hooked a receiver (for the sound) and then to the living room TV.
It Launches to Steam Big Picture Mode.
I have tried a few Steam games (native & proton) and they are working fine with Steam controllers.
