Poking a bit of fun at Ubisoft for calling Skull and Bones "AAAA", poncle have released a fresh free update to Vampire Survivors with the AAAA Laborratory update.

Hi, I have a very weird, specific question because I'm finally trying to get "Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm" running on Linux via Steam (GE-Proton 9.2). This is a wargame from a few years ago that doesn't put a lot of strain on the system but seems to use some very specific libraries (as does the sequel which doesn't work at all), but I haven't given up hope yet. I guess what's nagging me so much is the fact that those two games are the only ones out of maybe 250 I've tried that I can't get running.

So, Red Storm starts, menus appear and everything seems to run quite well when you start a scenario. As soon as the turn resolution starts the scenario doesn't really progress as it should. This game runs more or less in real time phases but after the initial few seconds, the game clock is not properly advancing. Nonetheless, some units which are supposed to join the battlefield several in-game minutes or hours later get added only after a few seconds. So things ARE happening in the background but it seems that the game somehow can't keep track of time properly.

It looks to me as if the system time polling is either not working or misinterpreted. Perhaps the game thinks that minutes or hours have passed because it reads seconds as minutes. That would explain why it doesn't update the seconds (which are needed to advance the in-game clock) but sends units onto the battlefield much earlier than they are supposed to.

I was just wondering if anyone has ever encountered something similar in another game and if there are any things you can think of that I might try to fix this issue. For what it's worth, I don't think this has anything to do with CPU speed or Vsync or refresh rate, because the game runs well on Windows with the same hardware and screen settings.

Thank you!

If you have half an hour free and fancy cozying up with a little something, check out the new free release of Clothes Line.

What could potentially be a The Sims killer, Paradox Interactive plan to finally launch Life by You into Early Access on June 4th after multiple delays.

Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter is releasing with Native Linux support later in 2024, and it's looking really good! Odd Bug Studio just put up a new trailer show off plenty of gameplay.

Jackbox Games are finally doing a special little pack of games just for adults with the teased Jackbox Naughty Pack.

Hi there good people! We are in the final phases of releasing our latest game The Fate of Baldr. We already know that the game works pretty well on Windows, MacOS and the Steam Deck. However we would love to get a few testers to test our Linux version as well.

Send me a PM or go to our Discord server and message me there for a Playtest key on Steam and some further instructions.

Thanks in advance and have a great day! :)

Towards the end of April, NVIDIA released the 550.78 driver and if you use a notebook with a RTX 4xxx series GPU you may want to update for this one.

I updated tModLoader for Terraria recently, and with the new update, I had to start using Proton Experimental on Steam (instead of using no forced compatibility tool). The problem that came with this is that tModLoader now doesn't recognize any of my previous save data.

I can still find the save data of my Players and Worlds in ~/.local/share/Terraria/tModLoader

I guess I'm looking for where Steam games store their data when using Proton; because I think I can put my save data there and it'll work.

Switching to Linux is something I've been debating doing for YEARS at this point. Every time I do research about it, it seems like it's more trouble than it's worth, but now I think it might be good enough for what I do. Years ago, I realized that Linux is easy enough to work with due to things like Pop!_OS that seemingly makes things more intuitive, but when it comes to gaming, I see mixed responses.

Can I game with Linux? And if so, what distro is recommended? Or is something else a factor when it comes to gaming performance? And when I ask these questions, yes, I know games CAN be played on Linux, but I'm wondering just how convenient it is. I know usually games won't work properly on release, which is fine with me. Will pretty much all Steam games work and what about Xbox Game Pass for Windows (I know that Windows is another OS, but will the app still work?)? Will Riot, EA, Epic Games, GOG, Blizzard, and Ubisoft apps work?

Also will Linux be fine for the things I do daily? I usually use Brave Browser and just use Twitch, Youtube, Twitter, Discord, browse Google for various info/forums, and check my e-mails. I also game plenty and sometimes even stream using OBS. Will Linux cause any issues for me as a newbie? I've always wanted to swap to Linux, but was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle the OS for my daily use cases.

I just realised that my laptop, as the title suggests, is only utilising 1 core, which makes it hot (70c when idle with brave and discord open) how do i make my laptop utilise multiple cores? (Asus, unlike other companies, actually tries to make their laptop runs good on linux btw)

I got the zephyrus g14 model 2022

I got a 1TB nvme drive A 34GB of ram A Ryzen 9 6900HS And a radeon RX6800s

Based on my personal experience, there's still some games that trough steam deliver less performance, and some others where the performance is the same as x11, so will it improve in the future?
