I will definitely keep an eye on this as it will be the first 3D game akin to Dark Souls to hit Linux. We have received some 2D games akin to Dark Souls, but never 3D. If the big publishers won't deliver, then the independent developers will.

There are two statistics of merit here:

1) The person who paid money for the game is running Linux.

2) The platform being used for playing the game.

The developer can gain both bits of information from Steam statistics generated by buying or playing the game.

On which note, I have a massive backlog of games, so the person buying is running Linux - and then there's no stats of anyone playing them (yet).

Quoting: g000hIt's not cheating the system. It is a Linux gamer who paid out the cash for the game.

... but it's supposed to be played on Windows.
If there was no Windows version, the gifting wouldn't happen.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: FutureSutureThis basically means that I can no longer gift games to friends who use Windows.

To be honest, it's one way less for us to cheat the system. :)

I finished it during the early access. It is quite cool, somewhere between Rick dangerous and Broforce. Some parts are really difficult (not for casual gamers...).

QuoteThis game [...] is great.

This game looks curiously similar (at least for the pixel arts).

At least on my system looks like an memory allocation issue, try using jemalloc instead of the default binnedmalloc. Not sure for others, but works for me.

Quoting: ageresIf a game I already own gets ported to Linux, I buy a copy and store it in my inventory. I cannot gift it immediately because I don't have any friends using Linux, so that would be counted as a Windows sale AFAIK. So, what should I do now?

I have done this a few times i.e. bought games on Linux, kept them for at least 15 days so that they would be permanently recorded as Linux sales, then gifted them to Windows users. Now Valve took even that away. This basically means that I can no longer gift games to friends who use Windows.

Doesn't work on my computer, i see the logo of unity and then back to desktop without any kind of message of error.

I gave it ten minutes to see how it faired, and I guess it's a lot like the Souls games. Died three times, and that made it quite a lot more exciting than I thought it'd be. The controls do feel extremely slippery though and therefore you feel like your opponents get an edge just because your keyboard didn't work the way you meant to (to be fair, on the main steam page it says that a controller is recommended).

I'm excited for this one and will definitely keep my eyes open for updates.

I tried several times, and i can't find myself enjoying the game so far. It feels at the same time too... busy ? and not deep enough. Anyone played it for real and have some advice to get into it ?

PvP is exciting, but Albion's red areas mean full gear loss on death, which makes it extremely risky. It's pretty harsh. I'd okay more PvP if it was a percentage of your carried gold or similar. Or even a percentage of your overall wealth.

Quoting: Xpander

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: Xpander5.6? so Vulkan? Anybody that owns this game can confirm this?

Using Unity 5.6 doesn't mean they're using Vulkan and i think it is not Vulkanized

since 5.6 vulkan its there, even if they dont use it by default i think it can be used via command line switch.
thatswhy i asked.

-force-vulkan

but it gives many errors in the log. something seems missing

Quoting: razing32

Quoting: liamdaweGah, the launcher is utterly broken on Arch, nothing appears and trying to run it again just claims it's already running :(

What are you using mate ? AUR or the download from Dev site ?

I am running it with no problems on Arch/BlackArch

PS: hmm I love PVP on MMO's Im a old school UO player.. Darkfall aways hardcore games so albion online is perfect.. a bit to carebear for my taste but is in linux so it balances out..
PS: if it was not because you all are PVE players I will join a linux guild.. but I will prob be bored since I dont like PVE that much just maybe 20% of my time.

If you want to know another example of game that seems to not be running, Turmoil is one of them. All the threads are connected to one with "We expect that Linux users will sort it for themselves." Thank god that I didn't pay for this game and got in through Humble with Verdun, which is much better.

Quoting: nadrolinuxIIRC workaround for a rendering issues with mesa was included in mesa 17.0. At now this game works without problems with radeonsi drivers and mesa 17.1 (I tested it with the last update 5 minutes ago^^), however you must remove libstdc++.so.6 from WormsWMD/lib path, without that a game will not launch which is a little sad (this file is restored with an each game update).

Wow, that solved my problems with running the game. I was unable to launch it, thanks. The game itself is buggy as hell anyways :(.

Quoting: SslaxxNice mice suggestions, but are there any good cheap mice around?

Depends on what you consider cheap and how willing you are to buy chinese products. There are a few chinese mice with AVAGO sensors that have a good reputation although I never used them, like the james donkey 325(currently $26 on amazon us, £20 on amazon UK, although I've seen an affiliate link for less and 22€ on amazon es), the redragon m802(seemingly unavailable) and the redragon m902(about $34 on amazon us, £30 on amazon uk and 33€ on amazon es).

I wonder how will this perform on Intel HD graphics. Not that I use my laptop much these days, but I've always wondered if I can squeeze a little more fps out of the i3-5005U processor.

Quoting: manokaraMaybe it is actually Doom like some said, and Feral is doing a reverse psychology thing making a lot of people believe it's DoW... We'll never know.

TBH, they do like to troll us a little bit, and their teasers are rarely guessed this quickly, but I'm having a hard time seeing anything other than DoW 3.

Quoting: sigz

Quoting: CybolicThe software support is amazing! It works out of the box, but there's also semi-official software for it (official in that Roccat provided the developer, Stefan Achatz, with access to their hardware and some guidance as well as a license to use their files, but it's not developed by them).

Stefan Achatz has stopped maintaining this project, he will not provide drivers for new hardware.

That is absolutely correct. The support for the existing hardware is superb though :)

I bought this when it became available for linux BUT it never worked and no sign of help from team17.
I got a refund as well. If it was just linux related I would have persevered and found something gentoo specific BUT even windows users couldn't launch

if this "free mode" is available for all I will re-install to try to see if it works & if this mode works then ill get the game again. BUT if it is a bolt on for the present game... no indication it will work

Quoting: KimyrielleI still hope they will release the Elusive targets as a pack one day, so we can enjoy them whenever we want, as it should be.

True, it should be that way. I don't care for the suits, but I'd like to play all of the ET's just as normal missions. No save etc. is fine - like with escalations - just make them available...
