I spent hours trying to set up the GUI and couldn't get it to work. Tried the AUR, Flatpack etc and no luck. In the end I just set up the command line version of open VPN with an Alias.
Yeah it's a bit of a nightmare. If you want to play the base game without any mods, I think it should work fine just using Proton GE now. But if you want the HD texture pack you have to jump through so many hoops.
I imagine in a few months the process will be streamlined, but this seems to be the only way to get it working at the moment.

-
From desktop mode, download the offline installer files for RE 1 (exe and bin) from GOG.
-
Download and install Lutris via the Discovery App.
-
Download this lutris script (Thanks to eskay993)
https://github.com/eskay993/gamefiles/raw/main/resident-evil/resident-evil-gog.zip
- Download the Mediakite Patch.
https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil1996/mods/25?tab=files&file_id=61
- Run lutris and add a game using the plus sign at the top and select "Install from a local install script."
5.b Drag the script file downloaded in step 3 into the lutris search bar and click install. You will see a second window prompting you to install "GOG with Classic REbirth." Click install again.
5.c Another window will pop up, and here you can modify the settings to your liking or just click continue.
5.d The next window will prompt you to locate the Resident Evil GOG setup exe, which was downloaded in step 1 and the Mediakite Patch from step 4. Drag the RE 1 exe files into the first search bar and the Mediakite Patch into the second search bar, then click install.
5.e Once again, ANOTHER window will pop up asking if you want the original experience or or high quality videos. Of course, you will want to leave the settings as is and click continue. Unless you want low res videos (which defeats the purpose of Seamless HD)
Lutris will begin running the installers once it's done. Click on close, and dont launch the game just yet.
- Download this Resident Evil HD file (654.22mb file) by teamx
https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/224828?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moddb.com%2Fmods%2Fresident-evil-hd-mod%2Fdownloads
-
Go the the directory where Lutris installed Resident Evil (you should know if you changed the install location in step 5.c or if you forgot you can locate the location by clicking the up arrow next to the play button in lutris, click configure and in game options you can copy and paste the location that is displayed in the search bar next to executable) and drag in all the files inside the zip file downloaded in step 6 into the root of the Resident Evil install location.
-
Download Seamless HD Full Mediakite (1.6GB)
https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/254126
-
Drag all the files from the Seamless HD zip file into the root install location of Resident Evil and overwrite all files when prompted.
-
Inside the Resident Evil Install directory (where you just dragged in all the files) there will be a jpn folder inside that jpn folder theres a Players folder and inside that folder theres a file named w03.EMW rename the w03.EMW file to W03.EMW and place it in the Players folder thats inside the USA folder overwriting the old one. Delete the JPN folder, then create a link to the USA folder named JPN to mitigate crashing.
(To create a link folder, right click on any empty space in the Resident Evil install location, click on create new, select Link to file or directory, name the link jpn and link it to the USA folder. (If you don't do this, the game will crash when loading into certain areas.)
- Inside the Movie folder on the root of the Resident Evil install location, you're going to want to rename these files overwriting the old ones.
Rename ed4 to eu4
Renamr ed5 to eu5
Rename pj to pu
Rename oj to ou
Rename stfc_b to stfc_r
Rename staf_b to staf_r
Rename stfj_b to stfj_r
Rename stfz_b to stfz_r
(Thanks to AdEconomy586 for pointing this out)
11.b (optional) If youre like me and like the original capcom cubes startup video I suggest you go into the movie folder thats on root install location of Resident Evil and go to capcom clips, cubes and copy the Capcom.mp4 file and paste it into the movie folder to overwrite the old one.
- (This next step is thanks to Skau over in the SHDP Discord group)
Get dgVoodoo2 version 2.71.3 (NOT the latest version):
https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2/releases/tag/v2.71.3
from the dgVoodoo2 archive extract the following files:
dgvoodoo.conf MS/x86/DDraw.dll MS/x86/DD3DImm.dll
rename DDraw.dll to re_ddraw.dll, and move all of the files you extracted to the root of the game folder where ResidentEvil.exe is located
open dgvooodoo.conf in notepad, scroll down past the [DirectX] section, change VideoCard = internal3D to VideoCard = ati_radeon_8500 and VRAM = 256 to VRAM = 4GB. To remove the dgVoodoo watermark from your game, change dgVoodooWatermark = true to dgVoodooWatermark = false.
save the file.
(Original Post https://discord.com/channels/549168005553192980/573895283646267412/1133505593181749339 )
- Now go back to Lutris and click on the up arrow next to the play button, click configure, and go to runner options. Here, you disable the dgvoodoo2 option, and below, where you see DLL overrides, you will change the section that says ddraw to ddraw,d3dimm,dinput8,libwebp and save.
13.b from here, make sure you have made a shortcut to Resident Evil on Steam because we will be going into game mode.
-
Once in game mode, select resident evil and select the gear icon to go into settings, go to properties then scroll down to Game Resolution and change default to 1920x1080 and turn on the option below it called "set resolution for internal and external display"
-
Now go back to the Resident Evil menu and select the controller icon and map the R4 button to up arrow key and R5 to down arrow key so you can change the settings in the next step. Now start the game.
-
You will see a menu pop up, change resolution to 1280x960 (you can click on it till it turns blue and then use the R5 button to go down) and using the touch screen untick always boot in configure mode if you dont want to see this menu again.
(optional) You can make other changes in the configuration menu if you wish, but in my setup, i only changed vibration intensity to moderate and turned texture filtering off.
Click ok
- You will be greeted by another window here you need to select the [Dev]Seamless HD Project (click on Resident Evil to make it turn blue and use the R5 button to go down making sure you select the [Dev]Seamless HD option.
Click ok
-
From here, you are done! You can play the game or follow the next step to bypass the menus all together.
-
(Optional but recommended) over on the SHDP Discord group the user Doze_D created a .bat file that bypasses the [Dev] Seamless HD Project selection menu and goes straight to the game.
Download the file from here

Place it in the Root of the Resident Evil install location, then open up lutris and click the up arrow next to the play button, click configure, go to game options and in the arguments section type in
start ResidentEvil.exe -dev_SHDP
(In the original post, it says to type in start Biohazard.exe -dev_SHDP, but both arguments seem to work)
The End!
That's it, Resident Evil Seamless HD Project is now playable with the US GOG version of the game thanks to everyone above who has helped make this possible
I'm relatively new to the Star Wars EU, I've seen all the movies several times but have just started watching The Clone Wars. I've recently decided I want to get more into the extended universe of Star Wars but I'm not really interested in everything. The main things I'm interested in are books or comics that enhance the movies and/or TV Shows. I'm not really bothered If the books/comics are Legends or New Canon as long as they add context for the universe and I can head canon them into existing.
For example I'm not interested in the Yuuzhan Vong because I've been told it's not very good and It's also non canon, but I am interested in The X-Wing series because it fleshes out Wedge even if the story is non canon. Because Wedge is still is a canon character so I want to know more about him. Likewise I am interested in the Thrawn because he's an interesting villain who still exists in the new canon, despite Heir To The Empire being Non Canon.
The sort of things I'm looking to read are things that add to the movies like:
- Rogue One enhancing A New Hope because It shows how the rebels got the Death Star Plans
- The Darth Plagius book adding new context to the Phantom Menace
- The X Wing books adding Character depth to Wedge in the Original Trilogy
If the story is about anyone in the main series like Luke/Leia/Han/Obi-Wan or Anakin I'm not really interested because I already know their characters and they've been fleshed out. I'd be more interested in something about Qui-Gon Jin or Darth Maul for example.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know but please specify if they are new or old canon!
I plan to read the X-Wing Series and the Thrawn Legends & New Canon books. And I've already read the Darth Bane & the Darth Plagius books.
Is there any reason to switch from Bitwarden now? I heard Proton Pass was pretty bare bones at launch, but how has it come on in the past year? I currently use the rest of Proton's suite but not Proton Pass as Bitwarden was better when Proton Pass originally launched.
Proton and the end-to-end encrypted note-taking app Standard Notes are joining forces. We’ve long been admirers and are excited to welcome Mo and his team.

The actor reveals to Yahoo UK that Shawn Levy approached him to be in the upcoming Marvel film.
The actor played villain Juggernaut in X-Men: The Last Stand, but he has decided not to reprise the role in the third Deadpool movie despite being approached by director Shawn Levy.
Quote: "Funnily enough I just got asked to do Deadpool, the new one now, and I spoke to the director and I just said it's such a drama putting that suit on mentally and physically"
"I mean it had its mental toll as well because you're in it and you can't do anything all day, you can only drink through a straw. So we couldn't strike the deal for Deadpool [& Wolverine].
"But Deadpool's my favourite movie of all f***ing time more or less. I really wanted to do it, but they didn't have the budget to put me in the suit"

Charles Xavier’s evil twin sister Cassandra Nova will be in Deadpool 3 played by The Crown’s Emma Corrin , just as fans suspected all along.
As reported by Culture Crave, the news has been confirmed via the official Deadpool and Wolverine copyright, where Corrin’s name is listed next to her character Cassandra.
The cabinet is a tie-in to the upcoming Disney+ show
"Marvel Comics has announced a brand-new X-Men wedding special celebrating the love between Mystique and Destiny.
Per Marvel, X-Men: The Wedding Special #1 arrives in comic shops late this coming May — just in time for the start of Pride Month in June. The mutant-centric one-shot acts as this year’s Marvel’s Voices: Pride anthology, featuring stories from such writers as Kieron Gillen, Tini Howard, Tate Brombal, and Wyatt Kennedy. Jan Bazaldua provides the main cover artwork. Marvel will announce the book’s interior artists at a later date."
Just a warning to hopefully stop anyone having the same issues I did. I tried editing launch settings to skip the 2k launcher on a game and it crashed. I didn't think anything of it then tried to reload the game and got an error code. I decided to play something else and got the same error code, after this none of my Steam games would launch on GFN.
Turns out if you try to edit launch settings on any game, Geforce Now will block you from launching any steam games, even the ones you haven't played, or edited the launch settings for.
The only way to resolve this is to contact them through the official support channels and wait a handful of days for Tech support to manually reset your account, then you have to re-sync your Steam account before it'll work again.
Marvel's new crossover event, 'Blood Hunt,' kicks off this May. Learn about the X-Men's inclusion now!
X-Men '97 will have a different rating than X-Men: The Animated Series.
"X-Men '97's home page on Disney+ reveals that the series is rated TV-14 while the original show was TV-Y7. This suggests the reboot will be a bit more mature than the series that came before. TV-14 suggests the following: "This program contains material that most parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age." This is basically the television equivalent of PG-13, which is the rating of most Marvel Cinematic Universe films. For comparison, Marvel's What If...? series on Disney+ is also TV-14."

Netflix does let you add "guest" users in different households now, although It could be it just hasn't hit you yet. When they announced the password crackdown it stopped Netflix working in my second household, but we just logged out and in and we haven't been "blocked" since.
It seems for the initial debacle they blocked loads of accounts but I don't know how often they do a ban wave or if they just figured the original announcement would get more people to buy subscription's (which seems to have worked).
I've never seen a clothing store using RFID tags before but that's quite interesting technology. I've just done some reading up on it and I hope more places start using it it seems convenient and something I'd like to see adopted on a large scale.
I feel the people who don't like self checkout keep trying to push the idea that it's bad or putting people out of jobs, rather than just admitting it's convenient for most people. If i want to buy one or two items I don't want to queue up behind 5 people with a full trolley.
I second this, was about to recommend Kagi, auto filters listicles, fantastic for actually finding information written by real people on blogs and things that aren't SEO spam
