  • What's a video game that you just don't get the hype about?

    Jump

  • Sure, the presentation is better than 20 years ago, but that is true for basically all games.

    I found all companions to be painfully one dimensional, they all have exactly one gimmick and that's all they ever talk about.So the game never managed to make me care about their emotions, but I get where you are coming from.

  • For me the retcons aren't even the worst part. There were zero logical reasons to name that game Baldurs Gate 3. It doesn't continue the story and the mechanics are completely different. They just misused the big name, to get people hype up, and sadly, it seemed to have worked.

  • Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely reasonable game, if you haven't tried any other CRPGs. But there is a nearly endless number of CRPGs that are better than BG3 in every way, including all the points you listed. Except maybe for the cinematic part, I'll grant you that, mostly because I don't know what makes a game cinematic or why you'd want a CRPG to be cinematic.

  • Baldurs Gate 3: people hype it up as the best CRPG ever. When in fact it's not even close. It loses in every category that matters to several dozen contenders (including Baldurs Gate 1 & 2): build diversity, story, writing, the UI.

  • AutoHotKey replacement

    Jump

  • Well the focus of AutoKey seems to be more productivity and utility. It works perfectly fine, but antimicrox is better suited for my usecase.

  • Turns out Lutris even has an option to enable a specific antimicrox profile on launching a game. Perfect. Thank you!

  • nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore

    Jump

  • How about serving a proper HTML that contains the data they want to display? Instead of an empty page that tries to load the data via JavaScript.

  • Lutris: Pre-launch / Post-exit scripts not being executed

    Jump

  • Yeah, both the test-script that just echos and the real script I was trying to get to run now work.

    I'm guessing when I run it from the terminal I'm already in the context of bash, so the script runs, but when Lutris runs the script I don't have this context?

  • Lutris: Pre-launch / Post-exit scripts not being executed

    Jump

  • That's what was missing. Thank you!

  • Lutris: Pre-launch / Post-exit scripts not being executed

    Jump

  • There is no space in the path.

    And it is executable, if I paste the exact line from the config-dialog into a terminal the script runs as expected and creates the text-file.

    Lutris: Pre-launch / Post-exit scripts not being executed

  • Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004

    Jump

  • With the help of this forum post and a bit of persistence I managed to get it to work and I wanted to share how with future generations and/or my future self.

    First Problem: libstdc++.so.5dnf does not have libstdc++5 but apt does.Solution: I installed Mint on a Virtual Machine ran sudo apt install libstdc++5 and then copied the library to my real machine into the system directory of UT2004. The game now starts. I know there must be a better way to solve this.

    Second Problem: Game starts in a tiny window stuck in the top left cornerAlt+Enter switches it to a real window that makes the game useable, but setting a proper resolution and trying to make it fullscreen again crashes the game.Solution: Open /home/user/.ut2004/System/UT2004.ini, go to the [SDLDrv.SDLClient] section and set all lines with viewport to the desired resolution.

    Third Problem: No soundUT2004 uses the obsolete OSS sound system.Solution: Run the game under a compatibility wrapper. Debian and derivatives have aoss available. Fedora and derivatives have padsp. Thus run the game with padsp "./ut2004-bin-linux-amd64" and the sound works.

  • If all else fails I'll fall back to the Windows version, would make me very sad though.

  • Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004

    Jump

  • That helped. Thank you very much! Crashes everytime I try to switch to fullscreen though, I'll play around with it for a bit, hopefully I'll figure it out.

  • The DVD includes SDL and OpenAL, but not libstdc++

  • Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004

    Jump

  • Right. I tried that patch now, but it still wants libstdc++.so.5

  • Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004

    Jump

  • To be honest I'm having way less problems than I was expecting. I would never want to switch back.

  • Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004

    Jump

  • Well yeah, but how do i figure out which version I need and where do I get that version?

  • Native version of Unreal Tournament 2004

    Jump

  • Well obviously the version on the DVD is ancient. I did apply the latest available patch, but that is also ancient.

    I assume the steam version the Lutris script uses was updated at some point after the last retail patch.
