Hey OP, how do you follow all these updates? Is it RSS feeds on these projects? You're on top of it this morning.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Thanks. Yes, indeed, I follow a couple of RSS feeds and of course other sources. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It's from the release page on github

PoE2 came out in early access on Friday and with a bit of tinkering (had to switch to Proton 7, for others it runs with DX12 not Vulkan) I can play on Linux woth no problems. What a time to be alive! ๐Ÿคญ

Total War: Shogun 2 is now playable? It runs natively on Linux and doesn't even need Proton. I guess this is good news if someone has a Windows only copy on DVD or something.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some games also run better on Proton than their native Linux counter parts (I don't know is this is the case for Total War)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I didn't realize that, thanks

I've intermittently tried to get Shogun 2 running on Linux over the past two years and have not been able to get it to boot up. The native Linux version has been broken for a while, so this is great news.

Oh damn, you're right. I just tried it with Steam Play turned off and it wouldn't even launch.

I swear it was already playable via Proton though. I even installed it on Steam Deck just for shits & giggles a couple months ago and it worked, albeit not a great experience on a 7" screen. Still, any improvements are good.

Many old native games don't run on linux anymore. The only way to play them is Proton.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That's kinda sad, but at least they're playable somehow I guess.

I keep hoping that one day Firaxis's 2002 SimGolf will be supported. I tried Golftopia but it doesn't quite scratch the itch.
