Quoting: DorritJust notice Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth works well on Proton, an underrated game in my opinion.

Never finished it, but I can recommend it to everyone. It has fantastic Lovecraftian atmosphere. I read every story from Lovecraft, so I know what I'm talking about. :-)

It will be nice to see same comparision with AMD graphics to compare how Open Source drivers are doing.

Quoting: TcheyI can't believe after all these years, no other game manage to catch the same feeling from Black & White.

Even the Black & White II failed in this.

Thanks for the key Liam, I will probably try to create a Flatpak from their launcher.

For me Steam Play is a way to play games with friends, who are still using Windows. Most of the games they are playing either didn't worked on Linux (before Proton) or the cross platform multiplayer is not working (I'm looking at Total War titles here, although the port made by Feral is running awesome). There is not much to be done about cross platform issues, but at least for other games we have Steam Play :-)

Thanks to Steam Play I also played few games I would otherwise skip, only because they are not available on Linux.

Quoting: kokoko3kIs there a function to let all of the caged animals to escape and conquer the world, or at least be free again?

I remember this function from Jurrasic Park. It was fun to sold every entrance to island and switch power in fences off and then just look what havoc your dinosaurs are wreaking on the visitors. :D

Quoting: wazz4657This game is dope, but I gotta call out the "well supported" comment...it's not. This is another in a line of games broken on SteamOS and other distros (glibc), and I've spoken to them on the forums, there are no plans to fix. I know how the game goes, and they can't support every distro, and if I'm being honest I could play this on one of my Ubuntu machines, so I'm just bitching...but my gaming rig is SteamOS, and this will likely never run there again. Wasted my $$$ on all the DLC up till now, but I will not be buying this xpac, unfortunately.

that's why I switched to Linux Mint after years of using OpenSuse. 90% of my library runs fine but there is 3 or 4 games that I have problems with. Getting used to apt is going to take some time. But, I think there is plenty lifespan over LTS ubuntu based distros till the final 32 bit doomsday.
There's very little difference across distros on the graphics stacks and driver, games shouldn't have that kind of problems when switching distros but I understand the developers point of view on this. In an ideal world ppl shouldn't be forced to use Ubuntu (or ubuntu based distros) but yeah, sh*t happens (in this case bad developing decisions).

This is why I use flatpak on openSUSE. In fact my whole setup is minimal Gnome desktop, and all user apps are flatpaks - runs a treat and has no issues at all.

I'm doing the same on Fedora Silverblue. Minimal GNOME with applications in flatpaks and I don't have any issue with Steam in flatpak, it's just running.

I should return to this game. I didn't played it for some time, but now I want to see in what shape it is.

They already reached first stretch goal!

I supported them, because this was something I wanted to play till I was kid and now dream is coming true. :-)
