Quoting: BeamboomBut I can't start adding games to the wishlist without knowing there's at least some talk about it coming to Linux. My list would be insanely long then...

It could be that there won't be a talk about coming to Linux without a previous wishlist with enough interests on it... We are creating a vicious circle that might end up on a spiral of death and destruction xD

Seems like fun :)

I might be a bit of a weirdo but I find very difficult to enjoy a game with a set up that is almost a copy of another one that I have played before. The game could be fun, or even better, but I just can't help it.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: ArehandoroNot fully related to Wine 2.22 but I updated yesterday to Staging 2.21 and since then Origin does not work for me and The Witcher 3 doesn't even start.

Are you trying to play TW3 through Origin??? Don't. DRM-free version works and starts without any issues.

Oh gosh, no! hahaha. Sorry for the poor explanation. Origin didn't work when I was trying to play Mass Effect and then separately The Witcher 3 didn't either playing the standalone GOG version.

I end up formatting the whole computer. Tinkering with the system for the last two days I realised that some native games had stopped working as well, reinstalling them didn't work... a bit of a mess. I guess at some point I did something that broke libraries and dependencies. As for Wine, I had installed Children of the Zodiarcs, TW3, Mass Effect and FFIX all in a working state but Children of the Zodiarcs. When I realised TW3 would not work I checked all the other and none worked but Cof Zodiarcs hahaha.

Will try again this week and see what happens.

Quoting: BTRE

Quoting: Eike@BTRE: Thanks for your articles! Sometimes, I find them quite... indie :), but there are surely pearls I would have missed (like this one).

Sometimes I write about stuff that I really want to talk about, sometimes I write about stuff that really needs doing. Other times about things that would otherwise fall through the cracks because GOL doesn't always have the manpower to cover every single game and release. We try to cover all the things that are submitted but it's not always possible.

More to the point: these past few days I've mostly been covering for Liam, who has been busy moving and has had limited internet and computer time. Your thanks is still very appreciated! :D

Excellent work :)

Quoting: ArehandoroA bit of light and uniqueness in the adventure world! Hurray! Though every time I get more reluctant of KickStarter, not sure if I should back it.

I said this but ended up backing it a few hours later xD

EDIT: They will also release for Switch, that was the main aspect of the kickstarter that made me back them in case the Linux version is cancelled.
