QuoteBeginnings of a WMA decoder.
With this all games that uses Media Player to run a video playback in the game could run without tweaks?

WMA = Windows Media Audio, so I wouldn't count on this helping with video playback (that would be WMV).

Isn't it a Zachotronic game?

I meant Jane Jensen's adventure game (not Mobius Front '83):

Quoting: RaabenNow I assume that if it's not a day 1 native game it's never coming.

Often true, but not always; some examples are Divinity: Original Sin, Moebius, and most recently Encased. The long delay on the first two was definitely frustrating, but they *did* follow through in the end. Still hoping that Kapia follows through...

Quoting: CyrilFor Backbone, did you added a key of the game in your account already?

Yes, but that's hardly relevant; it was added in anticipation of the promised Linux support - they broke that contract, not me. If they really care, I believe they can invalidate the key.

I requested a refund of my Kickstarter pledge yesterday; let's see how long it takes for them to follow through. Another one that seems likely to be breaking their promise is "Edge of Eternity" - when asked about the promised Linux version, they reply "you can play it on Linux with Proton" - not exactly what we backed for the Kickstarter project, is it?

The Steam reviews for this game aren't exactly inspiring... maybe if they fix the issues Liam reported, he will do a followup on whether it's looking better.

I was using the "Steam Play Compatibility Reports" script by DanMan for a while, but it's based on old data that hasn't been updated in quite some time. So I made my own version, which looks similar but uses current data.

Quoting: Solitarythe client only renders black content

For me, it's all white rather than all black. Thanks for the link; I had previously found the workaround (from people talking about a previous bug on Windows, I think) but not the official bug report.
