Quoting: emphySo, bioshock games have no launcher at all when getting them from gog? (did the gog versions ever have one?)

That sale looks tempting now...

GOG releases never had one to begin with. The games themselves are very good and play fine in Wine, with such discounts you can't go wrong :)

I know it's a long shot but doesn't anyone happen to have an Nvidia 10 series GPU and can check if it runs on it?
Got an old PC with a GTX 1080 and it's failing to run.

Actually scratch that, I tested swapped the 1080 for a 4070 on same system but issue persists.

Next question: Can anyone try the game with a vanilla wine staging build? (non proton). I'm using 9.21 staging.

Ok, This has been a long day. I created a new Wine prefix just for the game and it's working fine now. :)

Can confirm it works fine on Wine Staging 9.21 build.

Great to hear it actually runs well on Linux, I've just finished downloading it but it's too late to try it for today (midnight at time of writing).

More forced Sony PSN logins incoming with every game.

Would love to buy their games but I'm never gonna put up with an account requirement for single player games.

Their loss not mine. Plenty of other games to play.

The video starts with the best opening line - "Annual Top Flagship Windows Handheld"

A handheld unfriendly and resource hog OS. Then they had to cram the obligatory AI which is silly for a handheld designed mostly for gaming.

The video is also mentions "dual processor" which is very misleading, non tech people might even interpret it as if the handheld has both. Do they even what dual processor means?

The only thing I see as revolutionary here is the amount of bull-dung.

They're not getting a cent from me unless the Linux version is available on GOG.

Quoting: mrdeathjrAt simple seek vram usage down around 200mb

I guess your mileage may vary depending on the game. For low end GPUs this can mean a night and day difference.

I have a separate system with a 2GB RX 560. Many games are playable (if you temper your expectations), however performance tanks hard once it reaches the 2GB VRAM usage mark.

Generally not a huge fan of remasters, but this is one exception I'll make. The LoK games were a big part of my childhood.

I don't know many games today that can put out such a great story and that voice acting.

Quoting: ShmerlNew ffmpeg backend doesn't seem to help videos in Blood West yet.

Yeah and elderborn cinematics stay in same situation

Was hoping this would be resolved, there are several unity games which unfortunately suffer from this.

Maybe in the near future.
