Quoting: leillo1975This game worked on past. I think they should be a little more concerned about not messing up some games to make others work. I spent my money on that game and now I can't enjoy it.

That's why it's handy to be able to switch between multiple Proton versions. It would be handy if they had a "community recommended" Proton version, and allowed voting (sort of like the Steam Controller profiles).

Quoting: LoftyIt's probably based on a logical hash of some sort and not a random number. Im going to get schooled shortly on posting this

LOL! It's a git commit, which is a hash, yes. If you don't know what it is (and don't want to sort it out), then it's not for you, other than to know a stable release will have it eventually.

Quoting: kokoko3kLinux needs more code quality control in the first place

I think good code reviews are under-appreciated. As someone who spends quite a bit of time reviewing other people's code submissions to see what they need to improve/fix, I can tell you it's way less "fun" than writing code yourself. Sometimes it's interesting to see how someone does something clever, but most of the time it's "should I just rewrite this myself, or take the time to explain why it's wrong?"

Apogee was the original name (1987), 3D Realms came later (1994):

Isn't the 390 series too old to support any RTX chipsets? Sounds like (at least one of) the bugs have been around for quite some time.

Edit: maybe they updated the page since the article was written, but they do list GeForce as well as "NVIDIA RTX/Quadro, NVS"
Also, you can see that R390 was only affected by one of the issues, so perhaps the other only affects newer hardware; the CVE description is too vague to tell for sure.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyDo the NVIDIA drivers support ray-tracing yet?

Since before there were official Vulkan extensions for it. Quake II RTX in the screenshot above was released by Nvidia.

Quoting: robvvI hadn't played an FMV game since Phantasmagoria

Ah, that one and Gabriel Knight: A Beast Within were awesome! Sierra didn't make very many before they switched over to cartoon style animation (too expensive to make, probably), but I thought it was some of their best work. The Tex Murphy games were also great.

Aspyr started doing this (remasters, publishing) shortly before they all but disappeared. :(
Let's hope Feral survives better than they did.

Wouldn't that be nice...

Quoting: WJMazepasI really loved this game. Last year was the first time i played Duke Nukem and Ion Fury and really enjoyed both of then so now i want to try every FPS made on this engine

There were tons of games made with the Build engine, but honestly almost all of them were garbage. The exceptions were Duke Nukem, Shadow Warrior, Blood, and Redneck Rampage (unless someone knows something I missed).
