The action-RPG 'Last Epoch' that's currently crowdfunding has a working Linux demo now

Quoting: monnefTried demo, but apart from bad performance, which is expected in alpha builds, there are some issues with keyboard. For one, when filling a character name, every letter I type is doubled. And a second issue, using skills doesn't seem to work for me - I press a key 1, nothing happens, tried even shift+1 and still nothing (shift+1 is character 1 on my layout). Any ideas?

As someone said, it doesn't work well with Azerty keyboards, but i don't know yours. You can try to remap the keys on the game launcher, there is a "Graphics" tab and an "Input" one. I tried on mine but still doesn't work (I'm on Azerty layout).

But there is a workaround, type this in a terminal : "setxkbmap us" to change your layout on Qwerty and now you can use the 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. To reset at normal, I type this : "setxkbmap fr".

Edit: But for the doubled letter issue, I don't know, I don't have this one...

Actually I don't think this is a bad model. I mean, I never saw that in any game. Maybe it's not safe for them as people will buy the complete game for only 15$ and not use the microtransactions (the majority of them?).
Plus the debut of the game will be free, it's like a demo, but that's mean you still can play (until the level 20) with friends who bought the complete game. So it's better than a simple demo IMHO.

I tested it yesterday for many hours (thanks to liberodark on the first news), and I must say it was very nice, I really enjoyed it... like if I already knew this game.
I was close to the end (I think) and the game crashed, I lose my save... I will relaunch it!
But yeah like you I have bad performance whit it, but It's not really an issue right now.

For the H&S / A-RPG on Linux it's true we need some! Actually Diablo III tends to boring me (recently) but I love Grim Dawn (It's a pity there isn't native Linux version).

So fingers crossed for Last Epoch! (I'm thinking about backing it)

Edit: I will test the new build (0.4.9.5) and see if it's better...

Liam is in front of an invisible wall. Sad it's broken... Hope the devs will fix that soon, they should have delayed it instead. :S:

Edit: Too late!

Quoting: x_wingI found this:

https://github.com/yancharkin/games_nebula

I may be trying this during the weekend (if ever get enough time :/)

As far as I know, it's not using Galaxy API. If you want a well working downloader, try this: https://github.com/Sude-/lgogdownloader

Looks like nebula is a GUI wrapper of lgogdownloader (is listed as mandatory dependency in the code). My idea is to give my girlfriend another games source, so having a GUI is mandatory in my case.

In fact I tried it and I have it still installed. But I prefer use the .sh files. (And it's the same with the itch.io app)

Quoting: LeopardI can play Skyrim Drm freed. By simply downloading a cracked version.

LOL, Seriously? Ok so "all" the games are DRM-Free, cause yeah you know you can download cracks... :|

:Facepalm:

But i agree this debate is endless, we need to discuss this on the forum. (This discussion and all the sarcasm reminds me of Windows users VS Linux users, think about it...)

But I don't think it will be available there, anyway a vote does cost nothing.
