Thanks, I guess it's time to re-install these games and play around with handbrake. Lately I've been trying to get a few game videos working with wine staging and have had some success.

Instabought it yesterday. Dead Cells is one of the few rogues that I really enjoy, I played the new area a bit, looks fun.

On a side note, Bloodstained is on discount on GOG and ended up buying it too.

Glad it's finally released as this one brings in some ray-tracing improvements. Will wait for the first point release before diving in, meanwhile 22.3.6 is ready to go

Quoting: Linuxerok nice for being so kind. i got it to download and i extracted and clicked the file theforceengine

but nothing happens. i mean maybe i should just wait for the next version ... im not getting anywhere :/

You need to launch it from the 'play.sh' file. If that doesn't run it still, chances are you're missing some libraries. Open up a terminal and run the 'depcheck.sh' file, it will tell you what's missing.

ok i tried clicking the play file too and it also does nothingh. nevermind i can just wait. i was wondering why those missing things cant be on that zip file ppl download from github? all there and click that play file?

I think you're nearly there, what you're missing are just some libraries. Running the 'depcheck.sh' file in terminal will list what's missing.

i thought to try it out and i can see the file and the main page but when i try to download it doesn't:

The page isn’t redirecting properly

An error occurred during a connection to drive.google.com.

This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

now what

I've uploaded the file elsewhere, could you try it? https://ufile.io/3f9vnbyl

Quoting: Linuxermaybe you could send it to the developer? and he could add it to the github and we would all just easily download it and get to play dark forces already

@Avehicle7887

Besides not being very familiar with github (I only know a few basic stuff), I don't wish get involved.

If you manage to download the package and run into further issues let me know though
