I've just bought Neofeud on Itch.io. But I need linux version and I am only able to download file named "Neofeud Demo V 1.3.zip". Regardless of the file name is it full version?

Edit: It seems it is windows demo version under linux version download link. Itch client also can't install the game. And I can't find steam key anywhere.

I've played demo and I like it very much especially because of martial arts setting :-) I also love graphics.

I'm deciding whether to buy it on Steam or Itch.io. I don't use windows and demo worked nice on linux so it is easier for me to buy it from Itch.io because there is ZIP version which I need only to upack. But are there in Itch.io version also extras like in Steam version?

Information for linux gamers interested and absolutely new and unexperienced to this like me. Sorry for spaming if it's too obvious for someone. Launching games windowed could make bottom lines of text in game unreadable and unclickable. So I have to launch ags with gfxfilter option:

ags --gfxfilter stdscale 4 --windowed

You can set the different number from 1 to 4 to best fit to your monitor.

If launching ags without any gfxfilter it runs fine even fullscreen but it's too tiny:
ags --gfxfilter none --fullscreen
or
ags --gfxfilter stdscale 1 --fullscreen

... it's excruciatingly slow ...

Have you tried windowed mode? It has completely solved slowness for me and I have no problem playing adventure games this way until fix.

I know GOG wraps the games in WINE, which isn't something I really know much about. Which is why it's available exclusively on GOG.

Are you sure about it? It doesn't seem to me to be Wine wrapped. Same games with linux support are also available on Steam.

I was using Wine playing Technobabylon before I've found that it runs great using ags engine natively for linux. I experienced some issues using wine but it was playable. Using native ags engine for linux was perfect as well as installed packages from GOG. So I presume GOG is running native linux ags. I also don't see any running wine process in htop or another process manager playing GOG installment.

I suppose that issue I have now is hardware related using hybrid nvidia card on debian with bumblebee. Maybe I'm wrong. But on my another desktop PC native linux ags runs any ags game without any problem.

Anyway thanks for the great games! ;-)

Hey, which processor? I have similar performance issues on Until I Have Vou using KabyLake, but it works on my Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge laptops. Everything with Ubuntu 16.04 .

I haven't Kabylake CPU.

There is:
in Laptop PC - i5-5200U (Broadwell)
in Desktop PC - Q6600 (Kentsfield)

So, you are saying that these packed by GoG run fine for you, but when you build engine yourself it runs slow? I was wondering what could be the difference.

Yes, exactly. And when I build the same version of engine myself on the same system (Debian Stretch 64bit) but on different hardware (nvidia gtx 1050 vs nvidia optimus 840m) it also runs fine fullscreen.

Games run fine in windowed mode or when I run them fullscreen with officially packed ags from GOG

Could you elaborate, what "officially packed ags from GOG" is?

GOG.com sells Wadjet Eye games. I've bought all of them. Some of them have official linux versions which install game. I suppose there is bundled ags in every game installation. For example if I run A Golden Wake it runs fine fullscreen:

I have similar problem. In fullscreen games are running very slow with AGS engine 3.3 or 3.4.0 or 3.4.1 on my laptop. It is absolutely unplayable because it takes few minutes to even get over the first logo in the game. The screens are showing (drawing) slowly from top to down.

Games run fine in windowed mode or when I run them fullscreen with officially packed ags from GOG or when I run them on my desktop PC (different hardware). My graphic card in laptop is nvidia 840m = Nvidia Optimus card. It is interesting that using Wayland games runs also fine in fullscreen but keyboard doesn't work in game.

Sorry for spaming but I only want to post that problem is solved. Everything works flawlessly incl. voice acting using already built executables downloaded from here http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54513.0

I've built latest ags engine from git repository (v3.4) on my two Ubuntu 16.04 x64 machines. But speech (voice acting) doesn't work. I am trying it with Wadjet Eyes Games. I've tried so far Blackwell Legacy, Shardlight and Technobabylon. It is the same in all games. It seems there are no other issues instead of missing voice acting.

It seems similar problem as has the poster before me - vdeG.

Any hints how to solve it?
