Here's your (almost) weekly look at some interesting games and bundles that are currently on sale that have an interesting choice for Linux gamers.
Firstly, Fanatical are offering a reasonably good deal with their new Origins Bundle which includes Punch Club, River City Ransom: Underground, Overfall, Comedy Night, STARWHAL and Gloom which all have Linux support. A favourite of mine from that is Overfall, which is well worth picking up.
Steam also has some great deals like:
- DiRT Rally - 75% off
- F1 2017 - 75% off
- Grow Home - 75% off
- RUNNING WITH RIFLES - 70% off
Humble also have some nice deals:
- Humble Monthly has HITMAN, 7 Days to Die and Hollow Knight which you would be mad to miss if you don't own them
- The Humble Discovery Pack has 4 days left with War for the Overworld + DLC: Heart of Gold, Kentucky Route Zero season pass edition and Tricky Towers.
- Shadwen - 75% off
- Tabletop Simulator, which is actually great fun! - 50% off
Picked up anything good lately? Do let us know in the comments. We're always on the look-out for a good deal and may add more later if the deal is good enough.

Eagerly waiting for Steam Winter Sales. That would be a Proton focused sale season for me.

Just got Hitman GOTY edition for 75% off. The Humble Monthly offer looks interesting, but it's much more expensive than my regional discounted price on Steam.

Good news, RiME now just works with proton, only the sound sometimes is a bit choppy, but can be fixed by setting xaudio2_7 to native,builtin

Why not expand future sales pages to include officially whitelisted Proton games?

Quoting: sr_ls_boyWhy not expand future sales pages to include officially whitelisted Proton games?It's something I have been thinking on, holding off on it for a while until things calm down and to see how Valve will represent it on store pages.

Earlier this month, I took advantage of the humble-bundle sale on Hitman. 10 hours in, I hit an impassable bug with Steam/Hitman. I can't launch the game now because it infinitely states "(corrupt update files) steamapps\downloading\236870\Runtime\chunk0.rpkg" or "(corrupt update files) steamapps\downloading\236870\Runtime\dlc1.rpkg"
I have switched download regions, wiped the entire steamapps folder, deleted the app manifest, re-downloaded the whole 44 GB several times and even added a new steam library on a separate drive. Still the same error. Anyone else run into this? Not to much about it online, except for a few odd posts from other Linux users. Most have the same story. Works for many hours, then update loop. :(
