Astro is still whinging about 32bit support.

Quoting: AstroThe situation is quite similar to Slender Man's Shadow. They sell the game that actually doesn't work. I hate that kind of disrespect to the customers. Devs of Among The Sleep, XCOM, Slender Man's Shadow have already shown not good examples. How long this list will be?
In what way did Feral show a bad example? Their XCOM port is flawless as far as I'm aware. Sure, it may be slower than Windows, but that's irrelevant. It's mighty playable, with no showstopper in sight. O_o

Quoting: RobertDoes ResidualVM work as awesome as ScummVM?

Yup, it should do! It's a little younger than ScummVM, but it's playable. IIRC, my last playthrough of the game was done using ResidualVM.

Does ResidualVM work as awesome as ScummVM? I read about it time ago and was planning to recover the CDs from my parent's house, but I didn't yet.

Your high expectations won't be disappointed! Grim Fandango is Tim's best artwork... after Brütal Legend, of course.

Can't wait! Grim Fandango is one of my favorite games. I should replay it in ResidualVM again. It's been a few years since I played through all the way.

1 month is like nothing. We had a bug on a pretty big platform which has a complex infrastructure. Dell and Vmware, both couldn't help us with their support. After 5 month we were able to track it down to a service that had a wrong variable in its configuration file.
What I am trying to say is, if the structure (in this case code on another platform) is complex enough, one month time can be like nothing. But maybe they will find the fix tomorrow or next month. Doesn't matter to me as long as they work on it. And as long as they work on it there is hope for a fix.

This looks like it should be a mode in Natural Selection 2, not an entirely separate game/purchase.

That's great news! I'm a fan of the genre but never played Grim Fandango because my computer wouldn't run it at the time. I'm definitely buying this.

Inaccurate title? Hah sure.

Until there is actual hope there isn't any. They after over a month still haven't got an inkling as to where the bug is.

I've edited the title anyway since people have such a problem with it, and to better get my actual point across.

Quoteno hope of linux fixes


When debugging software, it can be very difficult and time-consuming to even reproduce a problem, no matter how many other people are experiencing it. The devs say it's one of their top priorities to fix - let's give them a chance to fix it, instead of posting articles with inaccurate, inflammatory titles.

[edit] Thank you for fixing the title.

I will requote the developer for you
QuoteWe have unfortunately been unable to find a fix yet, but it is one of our top priorities on the list of things to fix.

Where is the hope right now exactly?

Don't blindly stick up for people, this is why Linux users keep getting stung is by over-looking issues just to have a game say it's on Linux.

Sure they may find a fix if it's such a high priority, but how long do we wait before the masses of Nvidia users can play it? 2 months, 3, 4, 5?

There's no need to dance around the issue. The game is completely broken for over a month for many Linux gamers who fronted the cash for it.

There is a workaround for the headless baby but a patch would be better.

Grim Fandango Will Be Reaping Its Way Onto Linux!

I brought a Magazine back in the day (98 / 99?) that was dedicated to their "top 10" games, with a full walkthrough for each one. It even included a demo CD that had each of them on it. It was one of the first gaming magazines I brought and really got me in to the scene. Grim Fandango was number 4 on this list (I think) and aside from Half-Life, my personal favorite. I brought the full game a few weeks later after running the demo several times over.

This is fantastic news :)

Also, if anyone else can remember that magazine and knows the name, I'd be grateful! I believe Tomb Raider 2/3 was on the list as well.

Natural Selection 2 FPS Needs Linux Developers

Hopefully I'll be able to play this game one day without the game crashing, freezing, or doing anything else it's not supposed to. It looks like a fun, complex game, I just wish it worked.

I'm thrilled. I played some of his games but somehow Grim Fandango didn't make it in the past. If it's a similar re-brush like Monkey Island then this will be gorgeous.

They have even gone as far as removing Linux icon support from the game page on Steam store.

That's really good news, there is too much games that are released with a lots of bugs and typically you have to wait months to have them fixed. Here they seems to be putting a lot of effort into fixing them fast.
