You would think Wine doped with amphetamines since Valve participated in its development.

QuoteP.S. The one I used was 0.1.2133.772345.

Just updated and now called "April 2 Update version".
I wrote another one more simple with DXVK called "LGDN", tell me if it works ok for you.

Quoting: CitirollerMy second ever PR on GitHub, contributing to an open Source Project finally made it:
Quotea new System info tab in the preferences made it in which is very handy as you can quickly copy and paste your system info from it

It was fun implementing this and learning a little bit about the GTK library :D I hope my code is in good hands and is easy to maintain.

Nice contribution!

Wine 5.5 development release out with new features and fixes
29 March 2020 at 8:08 pm UTC

Quote. I tried your Lutris script but it failed after downloading the installer from GOG

GOG recently changed their API and Lutris does no more know how to download automatically GOG setup files.
Workaround: use last git version or disconnect GOG sync in "import games..." menu. Then Lutris will no more automatically download GOG setup file and will ask you instead for a local setup file.

QuoteHowever when I installed it on my laptop (Ryzen 3500U, identical software setup), I got 40FPS so the game might just dislike my hardware.

I think you found the cause.

Wine 5.5 development release out with new features and fixes

@anarus, it recently works stable and enough fast on my old computer:
Ubuntu 19.10 64 bits - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 - Nvidia drivers 435.21 - 1920x1080 - Processor Intel i5-3570 3,4 Ghz - 16 Go RAM - resolution: 1920x1080 - fps: 60 (limited by my tv)

Spoiler, click me

I saw you are using DXVK 1.5.5, you should try 1.6, there is a performance boost for this game in this more recent version.

I wrote a Lutris script for the GOG edition, you could test it here:

Xbox One controller wireless on Linux gets better with 'xow' release 0.4

Quoting: MohandevirStill hoping for the Steam Controller 2.0... Probably in vain, unfortunately. I can't stand dual stick controllers. I'm so clumsy with that.

Yes, me too, I think this controller deserved better.

Freeablo, a modern cross-platform open source game engine for the original Diablo

I just downloaded it (there is a 0.4 Linux packaged available on their official site) and launch it:
- no sound
- no credits (not very important)
- no options
- no video intro
...
I will see if I obtain better results compiling Freeablo myself.
But for the moment we are far to obtain DevilutionX or Tchernobog(+wine) game experience.
It's good to have another free Diablo engine project, this one is promising, let's see...

The sad case of Unreal Engine 1 on Mesa and Linux in 2020

Quoting: Hamish
Quoting: legluondunetI wroted 3 Lutris scripts installer for this games:
- Heretic 2
I just tried your Lutris script for Heretic II incidentally, and it hangs for me at "Extracting data.tar.gz". Any idea what is going on there?

I have an idea, I just sent you a mp.

I wroted Lutris scripts installer for this games:
- Heretic 2
- Rune
- Unreal Gold
and I can say that, even if you can run them with some tweaks natively on Linux, you will obtain better result with Wine because Windows version:
- has more recent updates
- better multiplayer compatibility and stability
- you have access to alt/tab keys (not with old native Linux games)
