I actually really love this game as a single player. It's hugely atmospheric and sometimes downright frightening. It's also a terrific multiplayer co-op for the same reason.

Sadly, as a multiplayer PvP deathmatch, it falls down somewhat. Amazingly, since the update, there have been about 4-5 players in a match, but the maps are HUGE, and it's sometimes a challenge to FIND one of the other players. Also, the 1 or 2 shot kill mechanics reward sniping and camping, which on a huge map, you get 3 players hiding (in dark shadows, usually) waiting for a pixel to move on screen to shoot, while 2 stupid bored players (usually me) are walking around trying to find someone and we end up being instant kill targets for the campers... And a *two minute* respawn wait on deathmatch!?!? No thank you...

X4 would be a nice addition to that list as well.

Can anyone get Tannenberg running? It still hangs at the title screen for me...

Quoting: iiariIf this is accomplished, it will also likely allow Planetside 2 to work, which would be very exciting...

Oh damn is that still around i thought the servers died for that a while back cool to see its still online had a bunch a fun with that game few years back.

And now with DX11, so DXVK would apply at this point if the Battleye were to work.

Quoting: amataiUsual message about how minetest is cool to put under any post about Minecraft ^_^
Nah, seriously, if you have'nt tried Minetest, it has become very cool (I will probably stop putting message under every message about Minecraft on the issue, that can soon become annoying)

My kids like all of the extras that Minecraft has, like animals, rails/cars, house decorations, etc. How does Minetest do with those kinds of things?

If I remember, the trailer for this looked terrific...

BTW, I second the mods making this interesting. Some of the mod maps are very good...

QuoteIf you found it a little easy before

Not at all! In fact, I found the AI *too good* before, with NPC's taking me out from a distance halfway across the map with handguns and such. While I welcome that they're smarter, hopefully the NPC's aren't still OP'ed either...

BTW: Now thanks to Proton, I just started to spend some time with some of the Battlefield games for the first time, and I must admit that they're terrific. However, sometimes you just don't want to deal with MP dynamics and getting mowed down every 8 seconds by ace players with 800+ hrs in a game, and Ravenfield is perfect for when you want that Battlefield feel but by yourself in SP... BTW, another game that's great for that feel in a Sci Fi universe is Angels Fall First via Proton. While there's MP as well, the bots are amongst the best I've seen and play the game better and more strategically than many human players, making SP play just as satisfying...

Quoting: mao_dze_dunOh, for fuck sake, what do you people want? A written statement signed in Tim Sweeney's blood? They're not stopping anything and just being honest about prioritizing Windows over Linux because duh. Being critical of Epic is one thing, but being ridiculous tin foil wearer is just absurd.

Good for you for owning up the mistake Liam. Also thank you for the new info on the matter.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised Liam got even this much from them. The fact they bothered to address it at all (rather than one big shoulder shrug and a "who cares?") I find the most encouraging aspect of all...

Quoting: CybolicThis looks quite interesting, but I doubt I'll get it if it isn't released on itch.io or Steam.
With the amount of games available these days, if it's not in my usual game library, I'm sure to forget I ever bought it.

Just install their launcher to your Steam Client. Problem solved. This degree of Linux support in my mind deserves our support. How many titles do you see with Linux UI elements baked into the game???

Regarding the "jet fighter" look of the ships, I was channeling some C64-era Skyfox nostalgia for that...
