I don't think GE have shipped the actual mfplat dlls for some time now (looks like it was removed inProton-5.5-GE-1?).

The problem is twofold:

1. Implementing the api in Wine, this is a work in progress but seems to progress nicely.

2, Decoding the actual video. On a normal Wine install, decoding uses whatever copy of ffmpeg (via Gstreamer) and works because most distributions take a don't ask-don't tell approach to the problem. Proton doesn't use your system libraries and Valve can't legally ship a usable ffmpeg for fear of infringing on the video patents.

Quoting: Nociferkind of headbutting with Wine upstream, just like what has already happened with DXVK and more recently with futex_waitv. Wine upstream is proving to be more than annoying in that regard, to say the least.

No headbutting with Wine upstream for futex_waitv.

The person who explained that fsync is unsuitable for Wine upstream is the person who wrote esync, and fsync, and suggested and is writing an implementation for the real solution winesync.

Gross sales... I guess this is what happens when the unwashed masses decides to buy your game. Disgusting!

It's a clear branding issue. Just rename this new version to Difficult Anti-Cheat and everyone will be satisfied!

Let's hope Mr. Bungle doesn't ruin it for everyone.

(Sorry! The title reminded me of the book My Tiny Life about LambdaMOO)

Quoting: AnzaThough actual Nethack does have graphical tilesets (I guess being open source has helped a lot).

There was even an isometric version, called Falcons Eye. Development stopped ages ago unfortunately.

'Tis the season - open season on Mariah Carey, and the season for coming awfully close to sympathizing with Mark David Chapman.

...or maybe just the season to be less grumpy. Merry Christmas everyone!

I actually bought and played I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream just a couple of weeks ago. Could have waited saved a couple of bucks... Anyhow, not too bad a game, but also not as scary as I hoped it would be.

The sequel I Have No Mouth And I Must Eat Ice Cream sounds so much more frightening!

Look at the list of supported platforms at the end of the trailer, and the order they are listed in! That's the way to do it!
