7 November 2018 at 6:14 pm UTC

I always was too dumb for Tropico 5. I failed so often that I gave up at some point.

Lutris game manager release 0.4.22 is out to further refine the experience
5 November 2018 at 2:27 pm UTC

I'm using Lutris to manage what I want to play with which wine version at the moment. That works great, though, I think the config is a bit overcomplicated.

That said, a lot of the scripts do not set required parameters or script things you need to do to run games properly at all. The quality of the installation scripts often is really bad, not even setting the simplest required overrides/depends for certain games. I often end up tuning them in the end anyway - so I could just have used wine in a different prefix too.

I am not just using proton, but also my own wine for StarCraft / Battle.net

Mount & Blade: Warband now has a 64bit beta for Linux, should fix numerous issues
4 November 2018 at 3:25 am UTC

1347 hours played on that game. It is a great RPG, I love it. It's probably the game I have played most in my life ever, even though, it has rough edges, that what makes it somewhat even more lovely.

Still hoping they'll deliver Bannerlord some day on Linux.

Terrible performance, features missing in Linux, and lots and lots of bugs made the game unplayable for me.

Lovely game. Gladly not playable in the browser, would be a time killer at work XD.

QuoteImprovements to alt-tab and fullscreen behaviour in many games.

I keep seeing this but it just gets worse and worse with witcher 3.

Interesting, I have absolutely no issue with alt-tab in TW3.

Not nice. Not nice at all. That's bad news. Let's hope they still fail to seal the deal in the end.

DXVK 0.81 is out with better performance for 32bit builds, minor CPU overhead reduction and more

Not sure what fixed it, my system update in Solus or the latest steam beta (got both today), but finally Proton starts for me with TW3 and Skyrim. I am pleased :-).

Now I got another issue. Grand Ages: Medieval works now with my system update to mesa 8.2.1, and I got Skyrim and TW3. Could we expand the hours/day a bit?

Feral Interactive are teasing something for Linux next week
27 September 2018 at 3:03 pm UTC

Quoting: liamdaweA new partnership for some ports could be very interesting indeed. I'm both excited and worried due to their wording, but I think their "reflect on it all" is supposed to be more playful than alarming.

That is true, and with the word "aurora" ... a BioWare engine ... :-).
