I came here expecting anti-Nvidia bile and I wasn't disappointed! I'll step away and do some gaming whilst enjoying the working proprietary drivers on my 1660TI ;-)

Quoting: CyrilNot a single game DRM-Free even 10 of them are available at least on GOG...

A gentle reminder that most Linux games can be made DRM-free simply by dropping the Goldberg Emulator in the appropriate directory (Feral being a notable exception). This is all perfectly legitimate.

Some games have a baked-in Steam stub, which causes problems, but these are not so common.

This thread was from a while ago, but has there been any update on the Linux build?

I've been playing Hellpoint again, along with Bioshock Remastered - which I've started playing with a controller and it's surprisingly responsive.

I followed the comments here, to improve BR's performance.

New to the collection in Control, which I've heard good things about and am about to fire up.

Wow, I used to have a Matrox Millennium card (I forget which one) back in the day! Good to hear they're still going.

Looks good, and the battles sound great! It's on my Steam wishlist :-)

I don't know if it's still there but when I visited Gothenberg in 2006, the Ibis hotel was actually a permanently-moored ship. Quite cool!

This last week I have been playing nothing, due to family holiday! Now that I'm back home I'm hoping to snatch some more time with Hellpoint :-)

Quoting: RafiLinuxPicked up the GOG version. The offline installer is behind and not working properly. Someone already posted about it on the GOG forums. If it's not patched by Friday, I'm afraid I will have to ask for refund. Demo was fun but day 1 launch issues is something I'm just not OK with.

The Steam version has been updated several times since release and the devs seem fairly responsive in the Steam forums, though the Dark Souls kidz whining about how Hellpoint isn't Dark Souls do lower the quality of discussion. Might be worth replacing your GOG version with the Steam version. You can even make it DRM-free by dropping the Goldberg emulator in there!

Quoting: slaapliedjeI got a bunch of glitches from light sources on it, seemed to be better when I maxed out some things and changed AA, but not sure exactly which setting it was yet, figured I'd try in Arch with latest drivers... and then I got sidetracked purchasing a ThinkVision P44w-10....

I have turned off Bloom and the light source problem seems to be fixed for now.
