An idiots guide to setting up Minecraft on Steam Deck / SteamOS with controller support
How to install extra software, apps and games on SteamOS and Steam Deck
its mostly because most of my friends are using windblows and DRM free copy of Trine 2 doesnt match with the steam versions multiplayer. So im unable to play with friends then.
and i also dont want to buy the windows version, because they support our beloved platform natively :)
wooot.
nice to know that. then its time to open up the wallet :D
I wrote [URL='http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/trine2.php']a review[/URL] of Trine 2 last year if anybody needs extra convincing :D
Buy it for Linux? I can't imagine it being fun at all with a game pad...
If you can't bring yourself to buy it again (this game is worth more than $30 IMO), you could send the Frozenbyte guys some fan mail to make sure they know how much you appreciate Linux support :D
Exactly, that's why it's doubly important to let them know how appreciated it is (in-house porting shows a greater level of commitment and is more likely to lead to simultaneous releases).
Not trying to be a bastard but, "Citation Needed".
If it is true, I wounder what the Alternative Games people are up to?

Good question. Might be worth shooting them an email.
I've read that someone else also complained about it.
Otherwise it's a fantastic game with the so needed feature to save at will.
For example, I need to run Minecraft with "sudo" or else my keyboard won't respond ;)
And I have no sound in Java games....
Maybe when I upgrade to the next Ubuntu version things will be better.
also no problems with java games and minecraft :)
hmm i dont recall any problems with any native games lately...and no problems with lots of wine games also i play.
one exception was dirk dashing installer tho..which was fixed later.
The sound problems were fixed after somehow I've reinstalled ALSA (like 10 times) and restarted my machine (although my "support" kept insisting that I do not need to restart my machine in order for ALSA to work).
The game is great, but it feels like more of the same good stuff we had in Trine1.
And even trough they say the engine is new, it feels very similar (apart from few small things).
It certainly does not feel like it. :D
Personally I preferred the puzzle design and combat from the first game. The second game is perhaps richer, but the first game feels more elegant (to me). They're both great though :D
Trine 2 (at least in the beginning) is all flash and it takes a little while to get used to that. I also felt like my hand was being guided a bit much early on, although this improved after you first encounter Rosabel and start to go after the goblins.
From that point on I was back to doing the same weird physics tricks I ended up doing in Penumbra (especially Requiem). My favourite method in this case being going halfway back through the map to find the one wooden box (or explosive barrel!) that Amadeus could transport to atop a high ledge so that I could get Zoya to so inelegantly (and often painfully!) grapple on to it. Or throwing down a sacrificial Pontius to knock out a certain wall for the others with his hammer before falling into the abyss.
As Yahtzee actually put it in his Trine review, "Am I making some puzzle designer cry?". :D
