Quoting: GuestThis is when it annoys me when people think Stadia=Linux. Its better to think of Stadia as Android in terms of support Linux is going to get.

Don't bother with "but but", this is a high level view.

Would think that the based on the track record, nobody would still think that Stadia translates straight to desktop Linux port. Google is giving money only for porting to Stadia. Stadia just shows that native ports are possible, problem is more that companies don't want to officially support desktop Linux.

With Android there are some happy accidents, those so called "but buts". Android market is just so huge that it's likely that those exceptions happen.

Quoting: haspadarlet me step in, i'm from Belarus. I understand the GOG's move but i must clarify the situation in Belarus. We protested against lukashenko in 2020-21 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_Belarusian_protests. Personally i was in a custody because of it. There were tortures and at least 15 people were killed during protests. We are UNDER OCCUPATION now by fascist regimes. People of Belarus do not support war! They hate and despise putler/lukashenko. We live like in GULAG now. And even now people try to protest. 800 were detained in one day at anti-war protests. Some even began a rail war by destroying rw infrastructure to break russian troops supply chain.

Sabotaging Russian troops does sound helpful. If Ukraine falls, that can't be good for Belarus either.

Come to think of it, best outcome would come from revolution. Current regime is not considered trustworthy and current situation has opened some old wounds, especially in countries that have been previously been occupied Russia (or Soviet Union to be exact in most of the cases). Even if current regime would back out, that would probably not end all sanctions.

If key people die, go into exile or something similar, there's no guarantee that replaced by anything better. Military coup would have similar risks.

As for if revolution and would actually have impact, Arab Spring was quite massive set of uprisings with varied outcomes. There have been also studies what made the difference between successful and unsuccessful uprising. I haven't read the actual studies, but Wikipedia mentions that countries with infrastructure in good shape and low levels of corruption could have chance. Level of censorship is also a factor.

In case of Belarus having Russian troops in the country doesn't though help at all.

QuoteThis is Romero's first DOOM II level since the release of the original.

This article has the same headline, but then goes on to list multiple releases that contradict it:
https://www.techspot.com/news/93631-john-romero-releases-first-doom-ii-levels-since.html

Or were those other releases technically for Doom, and not Doom 2?

You're right, that's the case.

Quoting: WORMThe game launches for me, but I can't get any of my controllers to work with it. My Switch controller worked on the main menu and promptly stopped being useful after that.

I had the same thing. For me restarting Steam client helped though. That's at least easy to verify.

Quoting: Liam DaweWe will be removing any idiotic comments. Stop it.

I saw some comments in Steam discussions and oh boy, some people have really started trolling.

Thank you for moderating, we don't need that kind of discussions here. We are able to go off topic even without going into politics, thank you very much.

Quoting: Guestthere's also the option to buy this war of mine too, all their sales funds are proceding to the ukranian red cross.

I have been noticing few more companies doing something like that.

SCS Software has announced Ukrainian paintjob DLC (they say that proceeds go to those in need) for Euro Truck Simulator 2. That's not the only thing, but rest of the details are behind the link.

Thunderful is still donating proceeds from sales of Steamworld Heist to Red Cross.

Artifex Mundi has already donated proceeds from Russian sales of their games from last year to Polish Red Cross. Any proceeds from sales of Irony Curtain: From Matryoska with Love to same fund. Based on that games premise and content it is quite appropriate (game is basically parody about Soviet Union without mentioning it by name).

Those I was able to find just by browsing my news feed. There must be more out there.

Quoting: mark348Looks really fun.

It is enabled !

Just don't work.

The fact they say use Manjaro and that is what I use perplexes me somewhat

I have had games crashing because I have had Steam overlay enabled. Disabling it has helped in those cases. Though if I remember correctly, restarting Steam client has fixed that issue too.

I did quick test and disabling Steam overlay didn't have any effect on startup. Game started up just find with it disabled. I don't know if there are side effects from that during the gameplay.

So there's two things that can be tried out quite easily, former just matters much more if Steam client is left running for long time. Also I noticed that there was update today, so could first try if game starts up without any fiddling around.

If those don't help, running Steam from terminal could give some clues.

Also at least for me, Steam places crash dumps in /tmp/dumps. If there's new one when game refuses to start, then it could be crash. In that case dmesg also should have line about segfault or few other possible crash reasons.

PS: as it's Vulkan title, problem might also with ancient GPU or drivers

Quoting: BielFPsIs this game Source 2? Using native Vulkan? Wayland native(gamescope)?

What the game configuration file tells is that it's Source 2 game and uses Vulkan. I don't know about Wayland as I haven't switched to that.

Quoting: AnzaFor me it didn't get worse...though it didn't get better either.

My problem has been "Cannot initialize renderer" since I switched from nVIDIA to AMD. Apparently compiling Mesa without libglvnd migh help, but haven't gotten around doing that.

libglvnd shouldn't be the problem in a recent enough mesa. I don't remember exactly on which version it was fixed, I think it was on the 19.x branch but could be wrong.

I managed to get it working with way I think I tried earlier, but it didn't work back then. I forced Linux native runtime.

Game does run much smoother than I remember. Too bad I don't really have anything left to do in the game as only thing interesting left is the events. Would have to do bounties or hunt the few remaining achievements.

I played it all the way through. Just had to restart Steam client to get Steam Input working. Who would have though that Valve game doesn't support controllers without going through Steam Input

Fun little game, luckily gyro wasn't actually required as I don't think I have it in my controller.
