@_Neptunno_ The SOMA is a regular giveaway on Epic Games, so if you're interested you just have to wait

It's more Sci-Fi and has less gore than the others, maybe it can be defined as more elegant, but in the end the studio has a very defined style, and they know what the people who buy their games like.

Their regulars might be annoyed by that Sci-Fi touch instead of the more gore stuff, and those who like Sci-Fi might find the story very worn out in series and movies, but if they give it to you

Salu2! Jugón!

@Fassou si si, every time I play a Stalker seriously something happens to me!!

How well you know me my friend!!

To be honest, I can't talk much about games, as I rarely play old stuff. But the topic of Windows 11 is something I deal with continuously at work. The latest issue is that on some of our Surfaces, normal USBs (not the USB-C Thunderbolt) have stopped working, along with associated devices like webcam and bluetooth. All users say it happened after an update, and I haven't found a quick solution yet because when you try to uninstall the update, it gets reversed. After several repairs, installations, reboots... it works again, but it takes precious time. So, between Surface and Windows 11, we have the perfect storm.

And you know there have been other issues, like problems with printers or audio after some updates. At home, it works well for me, but I only use it on the gaming computer; for more typical tasks, I use a mini PC with Linux Mint.

After the break for the holidays. I'm getting back to this, although I've already checked that it works via cli, the visual layer is missing, there's a bottleneck in which gtp and I are stuck. The order it uses is: 1. tlcs (server.ini configured with the correct paths, we'll delve into this later) 2. wireguard configured correctly 3. Run tlcs. 4. Start the tournament from the framework (the tlcs console receives the tournament data, in the case of winboard it's a debug file that adds the data) 5. From the vps, run node-tlcv and then we already have tlcs and node connected, then the web viewer retransmits the tournament in real time. In our framework, we've taken this idea, but we've created the app from the chessgui framework (ccrl.live retransmits with this framework and the same system) and it's not a.debug file but a txt. The issue is that the tournaments do work, but we can't get the tlcs client to change the board, although the.txt file does record the moves and node-tlcv from the vps connects as with winboard, to tlcs. As although it's the plus version, it's still gpt at the biggest plagiarism ever created, it makes mistakes and can leave a space, add an incorrect character in the code and we have to keep debugging and debugging, but without managing to retransmit as we did with winboard. Why I didn't use winboard, because it only allows you to launch a game between two chess engines, not a tournament. In any case, I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy new year again and we'll move on to programming issues when the holidays are over. Hugs, comrades.

The list of good intentions / Roadmap of the Game developers for the rest of the Year:

We will see how many squares they manage to mark before the end of the year.

Best regards! Stalkers!

I'm doing my part @_Neptunno_ to be honest, I'm already a pure gamer, but thanks to the guys and friends who participate in the gaming community I created a few years ago and our private servers, I still make time every year to play these games and try many others through epic or amazon games

To be honest, it helps a lot to have a group of friends to spend leisure time

I'm reading you to get ideas for 2025 I'm not yet focused on any title, a few days ago I bought Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and finishing it will be this year's goal

I've updated the post a bit because I think adding UMU is quite important to leave as is. I want to try to make the guide as up to date as possible. Also, if someone decides to try some tips from the guide and has problems, it would be cool if they put their experience so I can improve it and try to make it as complete as possible.

Edited: For a few months now, Heroic Games Launcher has added a series of experimental features in which UMU stands out, a unified launcher for Windows games on Linux. It's basically a copy of Steam Runtime Tools and Steam Linux Runtime that Valve uses for Proton, with some modifications so that it can be used outside of Steam. Well, this feature now, the people at Heroic have it pretty polished and it works very well. This means that you don't have to fight sometimes with Winetricks to have to install dll's, fonts or specific drivers for each game.

Nothing, people, a hug.

They are giving it away on STEAM

Run Foolish Ones!

@Sylver I will have to investigate what you say about messing with editing programs, it's something I've been putting off for years.

Regarding Driver, I've been meaning to play it as I don't know why I only tried it a little back in the day and didn't delve deeper. And I thought it was such a movie-like story to be a cop going undercover.

By the way, I couldn't resist and bought "Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft", I'll be able to install it on February 14th when it's released. I can't help it!! when it comes to your favorite games with me, they make more money than I'd like to admit
It's definitely going to be one of the best Valentines I've ever had

Best regards!!

It's my turn, let's see if I don't take too long, if not I'll edit it later and add more!! My favorite gaming library is Steam, however I already have so many games on Epic... but honestly I haven't even touched it jajaja life doesn't give me time.
Taking advantage of the fact that statistics of sessions, games, etc. can be obtained, here is the Steam summary of 2023:

\xa0
\xa0
Stalker CS: I enjoyed it quite a bit, but because of the great idea of adding mods to improve its gameplay, I encountered various bugs. Until I reached a point where I couldn't continue the game, so I had to reinstall it and look for a save in the area where I more or less left off. A bittersweet feeling, but hey, it had been so many years that I had been pending to resume the saga that it was worth it.

Doom 64: I had never played the first Doom, one of the most classic and iconic in its genre. Thanks to this one I was finally able to have the experience and enjoy the quintessential kill-fest. Of course I still have to play the original Doom, but I enjoyed it
The curious thing is that I started playing it on Epic Games, but since I also had it on Steam, I preferred the latter platform.

GTA V: I finished the story mode last year, but I played a few games and a while in online mode. As always, “great game”.

Quantum Break: I gifted it to myself for my birthday last year. I liked it, it's noticeable that Remedy is behind it (Alan Wake, Max Payne). But… it was a bit confusing for me because of the time-related plot (even though I love time travel stuff), very cinematic, some save points were very poorly planned. But well, overall I think it's a good game.

Portal With RTX: Simply the first Portal but getting the most out of ray tracing. It's always a pleasure to play Portal

Portal Reloaded: With the bug for Portal 1, I got into playing this mod based on Portal 2. It's very good, but I left it halfway because the difficulty level seemed too hard to me. However, maybe someday I'll get motivated to finish it.

Tomb Raider IV: The latest revelation. Well, it had been about 15 years since I played it “for the second time”. I was eager, I spent a very entertaining Holy Week and enjoyed a classic xD

Farming Simulator 2013: I have a superior version on Epic, I'm not sure if it's the 2017 or 2019. However, I was eager to play it for a few hours since in 2013 I barely played 8 hours. I ended up playing almost 100 hours jajaja
It has some shortcomings that I hope will be addressed in the new versions. I imagine that a lot of time has passed.

Serious Sam 4: I barely played a few hours, let's see if I finish it this year. It's a game that's good for thinking little and de-stressing xD Well, sometimes you get stuck and have to use your brain a bit, but the best thing (sometimes overwhelming) is the intensity of the combat.

Stalker Lost Alpha: I had more fun with it than with Clear Sky, but I got a bit saturated and left it parked. Let's see if I continue this year and finish it. There's already a thread on the forum about the game, if you like the saga it's highly recommended.

Red Dead Redemption 2: I've played a little, the tutorial and a bit more. It's a great game, let's see if I get fully into it. Many hours appear in my profile due to the tests I ran to test the PC.

GTA III Remaster: I bought it on Christmas, well, I got the complete pack. Honestly, I see it as a rip-off that I have to pay €9.99 for a game that I already have and whose improvements are very poor. I understand that someone “new” might want to sell it to you as is and at that price I think it's perfect, but for those who already have it, it's a bit of a nonsense.
I knew it already, if I bought it is because I'm a huge fan and yet I waited a year to see if they improved something, but apparently they didn't do much more, at least in GTA III.
I've played a few hours, maybe I'll get excited and finish it, but it's not my intention. I'll tell you how Vice City and San Andreas are, these are the ones I'd really like to play again completely.

As for other games outside of Steam, the summary would be this:

Minecraft: Little just to try the RTX mod. It's amazing the effects of light and water.

Word of Warships: The only multiplayer game I play. I'll have to leave it a bit more aside if I want to advance in my list of games this year xD

Tomb Raider-Custom Levels: Of course, my strongest addiction can't be missing.
I'll detail the levels I've played later in case it helps someone, or if someone gets motivated to give it a little more effort

@pos_yo great contribution, it's always good to be able to count on this type of information to learn and/or to enjoy other alternatives to play that are not on Windows

I really enjoyed Alan Wake 1, although I went through moments of pure tension... what a setting and very good gameplay. I'll give it to 2 when it comes out (preferably with a discount lol) but I think I'll have to play it during the day xD

Greetings!!
