Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaI think if you add the players of II and III right now, it is probably still less players than how many were playing II before the launch. Imagine launching a new game in the series that discourages people to play even previous games of the series.

Yup, they completely botched the launch.
Leave it to CA to turn a surefire victory into burning their own reputation (further).

Right now, the community is simply waiting for the "actual" game (Immortal Empires, the complete map with everything) to release, which is supposedly happening in August.

Quoting: MohandevirDid they revamp the Feral launcher for better Steam Deck integration?

On Deck Feral titles are usually defaulted to Windows builds.

As most Deck users are normally Windows users and save file incompat, multiplayer incompat is not so desirable.

That sounds sloppy. Seems to me that Feral's ports (especially for AMD users) have performed better than Windows+Proton?

Nope. Just tested it and performance in semi-native version is much worse than in Proton on RX580 8GB. Also missing multiplayer with Windows and Mac version = broken port.
I just recommend to stay with Proton anyway. This is just bad port.

To be fair, though, I don't think most of this is ultimately Feral's fault.
That the port is so late - who knows when they got access to the game? The code sure changed a bit in recent months, given how broken it was on release...
And if CA doesn't "order" the multiplayer to be made compatible with Windows, which might be extra work = extra cost for CA.

In my experience, Feral ports have performed better than Proton, albeit not significantly (maybe 10-20%).

Still, while it's somewhat painful to say, Warhammer has generally been one of the cases where the Proton version is preferable due to mod compatibility, multiplayer compatibility and speed of updates. And WH3 is no exception.

Usually I'd say "hey, only many months after the release", but let's be honest - that was no release CA did, that was a public early access without the tag...

I backed the game on KS and while I do think it's a nice little game, I can't help but also feel somewhat disappointed. Not enough to not recommend people to give it a try, but still...

Personally, from a game that sells itself as tower defense + Zelda, I expected more tower defense (you can only build a handful of towers at once, no mazing and practically no time to plan anything) as well as more Zelda (the game is 95% linear and it doesn't look like you unlock new abilities that unlock new paths).

A bit of a shame, really, as I'm a total sucker for tower defense games (and at least sometimes for Zelda-likes), but the game didn't manage to scratch either itch for me.

Quoting: itscalledrealityEr…we’re halfway through the year and there’s very little about fixing multimonitor support, one of the biggest hurdles for those switching to Linux.

Huh?
I don't think I ever had a problem with multiple monitors on Linux.

Some games do have issues with multiple monitors on Linux, but that's the games' fault, not really on Linux or any certain distro.

No idea why the original dev is being such a weirdo about the entire project, sounds to me like there is some very personal beef here.
Coders can be absolute drama queens, though, especially about hobby projects, so this really isn't surprising me much.

In the end, a name's just a name, though. I don't know if they HAVE to change it (I doubt it, given the history), but I don't see too much harm in them doing that.

PS: Why would you disallow distro-specific patches?
Some weird ideal that all distros should be identical?
Seems entirely counter-productive.

Aren't there shelters that you could run this operation out of for free?

Wadjet Eye always has some of most interesting setting ideas in adventure games.

Quoting: ZeloxSo there is no reason to even boot in to windows anymore, except for work then.

I don't even do that atm, I just run Windows inside of a VM if there's something requiring Windows (e.g. client needs a program to run under Windows).

But of course, that does require a bit beefier PC to run essentially two OS at the same time...

It pleases me to see that the Deck is indeed not maidenless.
