Quoting: WienerWuerstel@mcphail Try playing The Longest Journey with the latest build of ResidualVM instead. Works much better.

Thanks for the tip! Seems to work well.

Sadly, currently I mostly play on PS4 because of poor rig I have and technical problems with my Linux rig.
During last month I had plenty of time because I change the job starting from next month and I have a lot of holiday left and my girlfriend does not. So I play a lot, unfortunately mostly on other platform.
So lately I've finished:
- The Last of Us Remastered
- Nathan's Drake collection (So Uncharted 1,2,3)
- Tomb Raider (2013) (Which I've bought a moment before it was announced to be released on Linux...)

During this weekend I'll play:
- The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine
- Sleeping Dogs

The only games I play on Linux:
- Pillars of Eternity
- Don't Starve Together

Some time ago (on Easter sale?) I've bought Sleeping Dogs for 42 pln (less than 9 euro). I just started it and I can tell that game is decent, and it's really a shame that Feral ported it to Mac but did not port it to Linux. Hope it will be similar story as the one with Tomb Raider (2013).

Regarding technical issues on Linux I currently have:
1) I've finally made my dualshock 4 controller to work with Don't Starve Together in wireless mode. The problem is that it does not work correctly with Steam in big picture (from time to time overlay kicks in, in big picture sometimes controller starts to behave like y-axis is moved down, and in general it starts to be unusable)
2) I've received Magicka 2 copy from "Free Steam keys" forum topic and wanted to give it a try. It turns out that for some reason it does not launch with proprietary drivers I use (361.42), on nouveau driver I got less than 10 fps.

Last 3 months I've spent a lot of cash because we moved into a new flat with my girlfriend, so I cannot afford new powerful rig yet. And I don't own enough decent titles on Steam to force myself to invest in it.

I wait for Steam Sale to see if I can get something I am interested in. If I won't find it I will be focusing on PS4 for next month or 2.
I am eager to buy and play:
- XCOM2
- Hard West
- Divinity Original Sin
- SuperHot
- Pillars of Eternity: White March both parts (which was on GOG sale for really reasonable price, but I have PoE on Steam)

I am afraid that I will end up buying XCOM2 on PS4, which would be worst case scenario, because I want to give my money to Feral, but as long as I don't own the good rig, I cannot play it on Linux anyway. And I don't want to loose the mods support.

Let's see how it goes, at some point I need to switch to B2B anyway, so that would be great moment to buy new rig and finally enjoy good looking titles on our beloved platform.

By any chance, are you having issues with your keyboard or mouse being wrongly detected as a controller? I had this issue, and Steam Big Picture mode would behave as if my XB360 controller was always pressing "up". I fixed it by using a udev blacklist for my wireless keyboard/mouse.

I'm playing Factorio, it's the only game I'm playing since I bought it !

Factorio. I'm determined to clean up the alien infestation near my gas installation.

Quoting: KohriasI did not think I would need xorg in 32-bit as well - that sound quite troubesome.

You don't actually run Xorg in a chroot though. It's only installed there for the libraries and headers, and the chroot is only used for compiling. It'll probably automatically pull most (all?) of the required Xorg bits in when running $ sudo apt-get build-dep wine
If you need something else for the optional libdrm or the AMDGPU DDX steps, most probably you'll get everything you need with: $ sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg Not a problem at all. :)

Of course, you could instead setup your schroot config file to include the lines:
personality=linux32
preserve-environment=true
Then you could compile and run Wine there, forget all the 64-bit stuff, and not have to worry about installing :i386 packages on your amd64 host. There are plenty of options.

Some Insurgency and Anno 1404 for some relaxation.

Finished Bioschock Infinite and started Deadfall Adventures

Hmm honestly I don't know. I've applied both fixes from your link and none of them worked. I don't see a way to determine if that's the problem I'm having.

What I also see is that whenever I press the "X" button on the controller, Steam behaves like it would be permanently pressed and launches a first game in the list of recently played. After I close the game it seems to work fine for a while.

@mcphail any ideas from your side?
