Do yourself a favour and buy Return of the Obra Dinn: hands down one of the best games I ever played in my entire life. It is an investigative adventure, and (to me) it's like being into the "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" book from E. A. Poe. Absolutely great!

It runs perfectly under Steamplay/Proton.

EDIT: fixed some typos

You can now return to the world of 1997's Blade Runner, as it's up and restored on GOG

On my Manjaro installation I had to install the packages:

sdl2_net
libcurl-gnutls
libsndio-61-compat (from AUR)

and do the symlink to fluidsynth to make it run.

You can ease things by installing scummvm 2.1.0 from the repository, go into the directory where you installed the game, move to the game/ directory and run: scummvm -c project_nov.ini

How hard is to create some automatic tests for DX11 + DXVK? Without some good tests is nearly impossible to refactor things

Tested the new Proton release running the just released Gothic Playable Teaser: it worked like a charm! :)

Wow, it went from a 650MB download down to 250MB!

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

Just started to play Moonlighter: hope it's not only a grind fest as is seems after 5 hours of playing...

Just discovered that Masters of Anima (which currently costs only 5€) works perfectly. I'll test it a bit more, then do a report on the Proton github.

Then I'll test Gothic 3 with the fresh D9VK: last version didn't work at all and with WineD3D performance was bad.

Also I started playing the old adventure Gray Matter, which also works like a native game: that is impressive because, if I recall correctly, it needed some tricks under regular Wine.
