Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Opting into the OSX/Linux beta branched was successfull then, but still no install button. Rightclicking on the game an then pressing install leads to the message:
"Don't Starve Together Beta is not available on your current platform."
Using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bit (german locale).
Any ideas? Restarting Steam or changing content servers didn't help.
PS: Same on my mac.
edit: Strange, just after waiting for a while, the install button appeared. Now I could install it on Linux (which I rebooted once in the meatime) and OS X (which was not rebooted). It seems to have been just a matter of time.
Thank you. Well, I will try this later, when I have access to my xbox360 controllers.
In my opinion, every multiplayer game should offer a splitscreen option.
I was trying to get a client working for a few hours last night, Wine, Virtualbox, Playonlinux, nothing was working for me.
