As much as I apreciate the work that's gone into this project, as long as it still requires me to install the game via Wine first it's a no go. I don't think I'll have wine installed on any of my machines until the Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines bug bites me again.
Most of my games are windows or windows/mac only and I'd rather not play them then risk my system with Wine installed. On windows I hadn't had a virus in years, and by threat level hasn't gone up since I moved to linux, but still, the lack of any real desktop antivirus on linux combined with an ever increasing malware threat only make me want to avoid ever having wine installed on any machine I own... well, except for the times I have to play VtM:B, I mean, viruses and ransomware be damned, I will have by VtM:B fix before the end of year, even if I have to stop using the internet for the weekend I replay it.

There's a major graphic overhaul around, one far better than this one, but I do not remember where I found it - I lost my backups along a 500GB HDD, and I think I haven't saved the download links.
That was really impressive, giving the world a -Skyrim- feeling that made it amazing.
Then, here and there, were some mechanics improvements and some minor graphical tweak (like Roman uniforms for the Imperials) which made the game incredible.
I had an entire setup list of that, counting several GBs (more than the actual full game with expansions), but - as I said - I probably do not have it around anymore.
I'll try to run a search on my old HDDs to see if I had a 2nd backup copy, but I can't guarantee.
If I'll find anything, I'll try to .7zip it up and bump it on my old Community Drive for everyone to download.

actually they haven't changed anything in the base game. no new textures or models, only new shaders(if you turn them on, water). so any perceived improvements in asset quality is purely a placebo effect. it's just an open source version of the gamebryo engine written from scratch, it doesn't use any code from net immerse or bethesda. that means anybody can use the engine and make their own game and sell it. with full modding support. they also are working on the open construction set for that purpose.

Well, I don't think they have changed the graphics that much. That wasn't the idea, the idea was to recreate the engine so that a) it can be played without hassle on modern PCs and OSes and b) it plays nice with modern resolutions. They also fixed some quirks. But if you want to improve the looks far above vanilla MW, you'll need some mods. I love this project, played through the entire game on Linux a while ago, it was a blast.

I have purchased MW on GOG a while ago, just to run it with OpenMW one day.
It'd be interesting to see if this could run on a Raspberry Pi 4 once at least Raspbian runs really stable and makes proper use of the hardware base, that's kinda my cup of tea when older games get reverse engineered and thus runs native on all kinds of hardware.
That said, I still got to do same with openCS.

Damn nostalgia hit hard with this one but this looks no different compared to vanilla release. I replayed Morrowind a few years ago with Complete Overhaul mod it's basically all in one package with the best mods available not just graphics but also audio and combat. The quality of the game was comperable with like lightly modded Skyrim :)

there's already members of the community working on adding support for oblivion and fallout 3. if you look it up on youtube they already have it working to a certain extent. big issue is face gen tech is closed source and there doesn't seem to be a good open source equivalent. so they'll have to make one from scratch.

I need help.
im trying to get pci passthrough on a windows vm in manjaro. on ubuntu i usually chose ovmf as the firmware.
but on manjaro only BIOS is an option and there is a circular exclamation mark say -libvirt did not detect any uefi/ovmf firmware image install on the host-.
How do i fix this?

All I can say is don't ever download OpenRA... that thing will kill your weekends!!. Only retro games I've played that never require -rose tinted glasses- are Half Life 2 and Perfect Dark. I might check this out as I've never tried this one. Cheers Chris.

It's fantastic at 1366x768 widescreen resolution. This video doesn't show the clarity well (youtube compression). That's without any mods installed. For Windows 7 64 bit users its a god send. Shame the savefiles are not easy to transfer.
