I work in IT and attended a Microsoft event where they were giving steep discounts for a lot of software and I picked up Minecraft for $3USD (a good deal for sure)...then I realized it was the Windows Store version. I've launched it once back when I was occasionally dual-booting and that was it.

Now if only the Windows Store purchase included the Java version
Ah, I am an idiot. I thought Bedrock and Win Store versions were different.

I'd be interested to see how it performs docked. I have a couple Dell USB-C docks and really hope that's a viable way to play.

Tried it on two different distros using mesa on my 5700xt and got instant crashes. I'll have to do some more investigating, but if anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate it.

Quoting: TuxeeJust got this mail

QuoteWe want to give you a heads up that starting February 1, Mac and Linux versions of the DRM-free games currently in the Humble Trove will no longer be available.

As a Humble Choice member, you can still download them to keep for your personal collection until January 31. Windows PC versions of many of these games will still be available to download in the upcoming Humble app, alongside the brand-new Humble Games Collection.

Yeah, just got that as well. I was supposed to have three months of Humble Choice for $6, but the cost had shot up to $19.99 so I promptly cancelled and I think that's it for me. Humble Bundle was so great 10 years back. Sooo disappointing to see its slow descent into mediocrity.

Yeah, I get that as well. Also video occasionally just doesn't load and requires a refresh of the page. In an attempt to de-Google my life, I've switched fully to Firefox and it's been a MOSTLY good experience.

When the first Humble Bundle started, I bought every bundle and owned damn near every Linux native game I could get ahold of and I thought it was finally happening. Then Steam started supporting Linux and I thought NOW it's finally happening. Then SteamOS, Proton, and Steam Deck. Went from only a handful of opensource games and a couple commercial games back in the early 2000's to an almost endless number.

I now have waaaaay more games than I will ever be able to play and am a *little* concerned about the planned move-in of my girlfriend and her finding out exactly how into videogames I am. Definitely downplayed it a bit so far.

Well that explains why after switching from an nvidia card to AMD it takes over an hour to join a Blacksite Danger Zone game that ends up being nearly all hackers.

*EDIT* Tested it out and I can now instantly get into a Danger Zone game that doesn't appear to be all hackers. Hurray

Thanks to Tormentor667 and the rest of the team for a great game!

Thanks for packaging it up! Runs perfectly on my system without issue.

Now I just need to convince my org's head of security that I should be able to use Ubuntu instead of Win 10...

I wish that I enjoyed these Total War games more since I've purchased so many of them wanting to support Feral's porting. Maybe it's time revisit and give them a second chance.
