Playing #BSG Deadlock on Linux PC. Got it dead cheap on GOG during a sale and had no idea if it would work with Wine. Works like a charm and I really enjoy this so far – back in one of my favourite verses out there.

Hm… Diaspora: Shattered Armistice ( #BSG ) didn’t want to start any more. Found only this in the launcher:
The executable did not generate a flag file
Turned out my install was missing some 32bit lib:
ldd /home/beko/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/lutris-ge-6.16-1-x86_64/lib/wine/i386-unix/openal32.dll.so linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7eca000) libopenal.so.1 => not found libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7c8f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7ecc000)
A dnf install wine-openal.i686
fixed this for me.
Yes, I know there is a native Linux PC version but it’s a pain in the neck to compile 🤷

Man, gotta say I was _so_ happy to read this little update. I was already afraid that the Covid got you or sth. Has been a while since I could marvel at your #BSG Viper 🤓
You’re one heck of an inspiration to me @Baz 🙏
I finished an expedition in #NoMansSky and the reward is this golden _almost_ colonial #BSG viper that should be right down my alley. I also learnt some new words: Garish, gaudy and vulgar (thanks internet people :D)
I sure am playing a lot of space pew pew over the last months. Took a lot of screenshots too and it’s kinda hard not to drown my timeline with screenshots every day. Today I sifted through the pile and found a bunch I’d like to share (some again) so here is a little gallery of (mostly) space simulation games I play on my Linux PC. And I’ll keep making that point until I can browse the web without getting daily reminders by random strangers claiming that gaming on Linux PC is not possible. Cuz it is.
Added on 5th January 2022 and played with whatever Lutris thinks best. I really was going to hold out on Star Citizen a little longer but I got it as a gift to my birthday. My GPU is definitely at it’s limit here. Will probably have to give it some more time. I mean it’s Alpha and all but hey, it _does_ work.
This I play mostly under Proton with the Primary Buffer Panel whenever possible. It’s just the most fun this way (kids love it too).
The more recent X series have native Linux builds but work also perfectly fine with Wine.
Both run via Lutris and with Proton-GE and usually with my DIY Headtracker.
FlightGear runs native on Linux and Fly Dangerous does have a native Linux build but due to an issue with terrain generation being single threaded I use Proton for this one too until this is solved. No Man’s Sky runs perfectly with Proton.
I play all of the above with my X52 Pro H.O.T.A.S. and some with my DIY headtracker stretched over three displays in a so called multihead setup. Let me know if you’ve any questions how this can be set up.
You have arrived at Baz's Viper project. Here you will find photos, videos, work-in-progress, planning and reference used for the build. Mission: To build a MK II Colonial Viper at full s…
Stumbled over quite some Colonial Viper pr0n at https://www.buildsbybaz.com/category/viper-build/ – there is certainly someone living the dream
Just in case you missed it over the last years: Huge #BSG nerd here 😀
My wife knows exactly how to make me happy. For example by getting the whole #BSG series on BlueRay for me 😍
(And the movie).
Diaspora: Shattered Armistice, still awesome today: http://diaspora.hard-light.net/
Seems to work nice with my DIY headtracker on Linux PC too. Sadly I got quite some frame-drops due to recording (and probably multi-head too). It works way better without all the cameras and a life-stream going on but I think it’s enough to get a good impression. Botched emergency landing included xD
Warning: This may fuel a desire to re-watch the BSG series again 😀
Oh no.. My daughter demanded a sacrifice 🙁
