Uncurated packages? Like ARCH's AUR that everybody warns you against using?

Oh, it has the canonical logo slapped on it. That's much better. /$

If Wayland were a pie it would be filling up the house with a delicious aroma right now.
It still needs some more time in the owen but it's smelling good. :D

It's sad that even Larian jumped on the "pay full price for the beta tester privelege" band-wagon.

It's best to just wait a year or so with titles as bis as this. That way you get a smoother experience and maybe even a lower price in the inevitable holiday sale entry.

brother they did that 3 years ago already

That was early access. Alpha version.
This is beta. It's full of bugs.

Total War: WARHAMMER III for Linux updated to v3.1

It really doesn't matter as long as the years old segmentation fault crash is still happening and Feral actively refuses to fix it.

At this point I really do hope all porting companies go bankrupt since their contributions have been marginal at best while open source hobby grade translation layers like DXVK not only work better but are actively maintained and improved with only a fraction of the budget.

To be fair, Feral ports for Toal War games all have the segfault crash that happens randomly. It's been in their games for years.

Proton/Wine + dxvk also works better overall. Sad but true.

I really like GOG and their no DRM policy. :)

I always buy from GOG if the game is available on Steam as well.

Offline installers FTW!

Offline play is promised at release. Shady stuff IMO.

This is completely wrong, offline characters are stored locally.

You have to login to play. There are no "offline characters".

Sales must not be going so good.

Better add more tower defense modes and fix less bugs. That'll fix it!
