Another season, another sale! Looking for a new game? Here's a good chance to take a look at some fine Linux games.
Firstly, if you act fast, you will be able to get a free copy of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion until November 18th which should work okay with Steam Play.
As for Linux games, here's some picks to get you started off:
- Trine Enchanted Edition - 85% off
- Trine 2: Complete Story - 85% off
- PixelJunk Shooter - 85% off (Scaine was a big fan)
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - 85% off
- Deponia: The Complete Journey - 85% off
- The Fall - 80% off
- Life Is Strange - Complete Season - 80% off
- DiRT Rally - 80% off
- XCOM 2 - 75% off
- Sheltered - 75% off
There's absolutely tons more, plenty of great deals I'm not mentioning there simply because I would be here all night listing some of my favourite games or things I think you might find interesting. Or perhaps you want to check out a cheap Windows game to try in Steam Play? Feel free to take a wider look.
Humble also still have The Humble Dystopian Bundle which has 11 days left and various other bundles. Head on over to Humble Store and find something new.
Worth noting, the next Steam sale is also this month.

OK, I was able to work around the issue with Distance. I was changing the wrong file. Instead of changing standard Unity location:
you should change:
And after that it works fine.
$HOME/.config/unity3d/Refract/Distance/prefsyou should change:
$HOME/.config/refract/Distance/Settings/GraphicsSettings.xmlAnd after that it works fine.

I notice that the Humble store now shows prices in Australian dollars. I wonder when Steam will?

Decided to load up my Humble games Wishlist, and of the 69 titles wishlisted, I have needed to remove 11 of them due to purchase in the last few months. Good to keep one's housekeeping up to date ;)
Thinking to get Observer (in the Dystopian bundle) and Conarium (in the store sale). After I have bought 1 more game, I'll own 1.5k titles on Steam.
EDIT: Just noticed that Turok is incorrectly listed on Humble store as Windows only (recently ported to Linux).

Good to keep one's housekeeping up to date ;)I hope you bought them outside of Humble... It is pretty sad if a wishlist does not automatically remove games that you buy from a store.

I can barely imagine what insignificant portion you have played... (Or how did you get so wealthy to afford them all and have the time to play them :D )

Quoting: ShmerlQuoting: stretch611I noticed that Pathfinder: Kingmaker Explorer Edition is on sale...
Initially many people mentioned it had a bunch of bugs. Does anyone have this? Is that still true? Does the linux version work well?
It's something I'm actually also planning to buy, so I'm interested in feedback too.
I just finished looking at a bunch of the reviews on Steam...
It seems that a lot of people love the game; but the bugs are quite extensive. Many reviewers have 75 or more hours in the game too, so I believe that they are credible reports. There is a 1.1 patch coming out next week (in their beta branch now) but multiple reviews mention regular hot fixes and the bug complaints even include reviews made today.
I am still interested in the game, but I think I will wait a little while longer while they stabilize it.
Plus... interesting how big updates happen right around steam sales.

Slightly joking - My "game" is online bargain hunting (as well as picking up freebies). But, more recently I have slowed down. My favourite recent FREE pick-up was Shadow Warrior 2 - It was zero cost on GOG (for a couple of days) and adamhm put together a nice WINE script to get this Windows title easily running on Linux.

Quoting: ShmerlGamingOnLinux is even featured on the game page
Pretty sure that just means you clicked a GoL affiliate link at some point.

Quoting: ShoNuff!!!Quoting: wvstolzingI wonder how the Deus Ex Mankind Divided (DX11 mode) behaves under DXVK. The protondb page for it doesn't contain much in the way of a clue (I mean, it says 'borked', but the person could have tried to run it in DX12 mode, maybe?)
Works great... no issues.
Great -- and how about performance? How does it compare to the native opengl on Linux?

QuoteRight now, Surviving Mars is having a free weekend on Steam, and 30-40% off, depending on what DLC bundle you buy, if you want to keep it.
cool, I always wanted to try this, but the price was a bit steep for me and reading reviews didn't help. could be, that couple of days playing is enough. this of course means, that I have to dig up the time :)
