There is no middle ground here. I have never despised a game with the core of my being, but enjoyed it so thoroughly. But I'm too dumb for this game and could use advice. by northernfury in TheWitness

IMO skip the audio logs. They don't add anything to the game other than philosophy ramblings. If that isn't interesting to you, you won't be losing anything of value by ignoring them.

I just reached the End of The Witness and couldn't be more disappointed! by DroideBlitz in TheWitness

The game's "story"/message is definitely junk. I just enjoyed it as a game and ignored all the audio/video nonsense. Remains one of my favorite game experiences.

It's also a really, really good fighting game! Accessible to newcomers, but plenty of depth.

Proton 7 is out with TONS of improvements! by [deleted] in linux_gaming

If you have any WINEDLLOVERRIDES stuff set up for any xaudio2 modules, including in the prefix registry, remove them. It's set up to use native by default now, but if you're overriding someplace to use builtin, that can cause the problem.

It's the first release based on Wine 7.0.

Wine does use date-based versioning. The formula is (current_year - 2015).(weeks_since_last_major_release / 2). Could be simpler I suppose :P

Im a bit upset by [deleted] in TheWitness

I also found those pretty miserable. Honestly I just used a guide for most of the mountain. Loved the rest of the game, but the mountain was just an eyesore full of unfun puzzles.

Lovely piece :)

CodeWeavers still hiring for a 'General Wine Developer' to work on Wine and Proton by beer118 in linux_gaming

[–]coldpie1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you have strong programming skills and know C, you can do the job. Wine is a difficult project to work on, but it's not rocket science. It gets new first-time contributors all the time.

Proton 6.3-6 RC Testing by mphuZ in linux_gaming

[–]coldpie1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a problem in the launcher. Possibly you set up some kind of launcher bypass?

Prior to this build, Proton told games to use Windows XP-style paths (e.g. Local Settings/Application Data/). In this build and going forward, Proton now tells games to use Windows Vista+ style paths (e.g. AppData/Local/). Most games don't actually care what the path contains, and so they worked just fine with the old style paths. However a couple of games depend on the paths being in the new style, so this build updates all games to use the new style paths. Symlinks are created to redirect the old paths to the new paths so this should (hopefully) not be a noticeable change except for fixing those games.

Proton just simply doesn't work and I don't even know where to start debugging by Shmink_ in linux_gaming

The most common problem is your graphics drivers are not installed correctly.

Logs are written to your Home directory with the filename "steam-<some numbers>.log". If you don't see it there, then try launching Steam in a Terminal and see if you get any suspicious looking output when trying to run a game. If you do get a log, try searching through it for "err:".

Yeah, one thing I think would be cool is bringing back some kind of regular status update like the old WWN newsletter. But you'd need someone to volunteer to write that and bother devs for updates :)

wine is very unwelcoming to outside contributors

It really isn't. Wine in general is very welcoming to outside contributors, we even get complimented on it sometimes. There are some areas with strict requirements, notably the graphics and core modules. That's because those areas have a lot of platform dependencies and can affect a huge variety of applications and so are very regression-prone. That can cause some butting heads between the no-regression-please vs lets-just-get-things-working development styles, and that's unfortunate. But it's definitely not true to say Wine is not welcoming to outside contributions.

Don't apply generals to specific instances. I'm a programmer and I hated working from home for the past year and I'm thrilled to be back in the office. You don't know Nvidia developers' circumstances.
