Themken: Something odd with my installation of Mint 17.3 and it started recently:

System bootup is really fast :-)

I am not really complaining but amazed at how the time has halved this year.

shmerl: May be you switched to SSD?-) It makes a huge difference.
No SSD for a PATA connection...
My guess is some conflict (drivers maybe) or such is solved.

Anyone here wants to give a try to Alpha Centauri… with the native Loki engine running on GOG data? ;-)
Install Alpha Centauri on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/etc.

About playing Return to Castle Wolfenstein natively on Linux. It's also now on sale, 60% off. Let me know if you need built binaries in case you can't build it yourself.

FYI: Wine apparently fixed this GOG installer bug in 1.9.9: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32451

But there is a new bug now, for example for Bloodlines, where installer just hangs on the first screen, but in the end succeeds.

To all blood-sucking penguins out there, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines on GNU/Linux has never been that easy to install:
Install the Vampire: The Masquerade games on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint/etc.

Enjoy!

Big thanks to Thiev, JudasIscariot & wesp5 who all helped to make this installation script an easy one to write ;)

FYI, that fix made it in a few versions ago, 1.9.6 specifically.

May be, I don't think I experienced that bug for a long time, since it was fixed in staging even earlier.

Staging had the fix first, so... Meeehh, reading comprehension. You just said that.

See comment #21 or check the commit. ;) Oh, and only some installers had problems from what I understand.

Probably best to ask in https://www.gog.com/forum/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt then. The bug is probably not Linux-specific.

How did you manage to run Witcher 3 on Linux?

To all Debian Stretch users:

There appears to have been a change in the recommendation/dependency chain from libasound2-plugins:i386 library, required for most games here at GOG. As a result when you install or upgrade this library aptitude will attempt to, if it's not already installed, pull in 32-bit video acceleration drivers as well.

Unfortunately, aptitude is not very smart with this (Debian folks appear to indicate it's not really possible to have aptitude automatically make the right decision here), so what actually happens is it tries to install the 32-bit nVidia proprietary driver always, unless you manually prod it to the correct decision.

If you are on Intel integrated, i965-va-driver:i386 should now be installed before/simultaneously with installing or upgrading libasound2-plugins:i386. (For Radeon I'm not sure off the top of my head.)
