The reason is that in Germany, you have to get a broadcast license if you can reach more than 500 people. This law was meant to stop pirate TV and radion stations, but YouTube live streaming was also deemed to be broadcasting.
Just in case people don't know: You can connect to Twitch chat via IRC using your favourite IRC client. Way more comfortable IMHO.

QuoteI heard that German viewers were not able to watch the stream, because YouTube's livestreaming is not available in Germany for some reason

Quotechatting will be done on the Twitch channel using Twitch's chat. We don't want to bother the IRC people

after a 2nd launch the mem requester didn't show up anymore and the game loaded fast.
starting a new game worked fine but I quit after I got some graphical glitches when attacking the wolf den on the right in the tutorial. apart from that a very promising first unofficial binary :)

Hi!
copy/paste of my reply on:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/205990/discussions/0/46476145275454708/
copying the shared lib into the gamedir and creating the symlink libfmodex-4.44.17.so to libfmodex.so just works! The game starts (slow loading?) and in the title screen I get a requester that my system has low memory (24 GB should be enough ;)).haven't tried playing so far but it looks good!

Hi Liam,
It seems to me that this library is available on Debian Jessie or Sid with this package :
libc++1 : https://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libc++1/filelist

Steam Hardware Survey For June 2014, Linux Is On The Rise
By Hamish, 5 July 2014 at 3:54 am UTC
Or those of us who have used Linux and played games on it for quite some time now - we do exist you know. I do accept that we are less interesting from a population change point of view, however.
By Hamish, 5 July 2014 at 3:54 am UTC
Quoting: CimerydIf we do a survey, it would be fun to see who used Linux before and recently started gaming, and who played games before and recently switched to Linux for it.

Article mentions that the survey didn't go out to everyone so we may have more than 1.20%...that can easily go the other way too. In my experience, Linux users are more passionate about their OS, and while "A survey? No thanks, stop wasting my time." is a common answer, I have no problem imagining more people than myself say "Survey? Hell yeah, Linux users REPRESENT!"
About bundling Linux with hardware, that could ruin some twat's school year.
Good to see the arrows pointing upwards. Even a minor percentage shift means a lot of users. If we do a survey, it would be fun to see who used Linux before and recently started gaming, and who played games before and recently switched to Linux for it. In other words, where are the new users coming from?

Metro Redux FPS Games Due At The End Of August

Really enjoyed Last Light when I got to play it. Crashed quite a bit though. Can see me buying Redux versions of both if they get their crap together though.
As for the no Mac thing, I'm hoping that won't catch on. I quite enjoy my Mac, and I enjoy games on it. If anything I'd laugh my nuts off if a great game came out for Mac and Linux, but no Windows. Might be a good thing for the developer too, being bought up to make that game an Xbox flagship and boom, you're Bungie.

Mount & Blade: Warband Now In Beta For Linux
By compholio, 4 July 2014 at 9:08 pm UTC
I don't have this game, but you might try running "file <name of executable>" and "ldd <name of executable>" to see whether it's a 32-bit program and what libraries it needs.
By compholio, 4 July 2014 at 9:08 pm UTC
Quoting: hummer010Quoting: GuestWorks nicely on Arch Linux 64 bit, GTX 660, with maximum settings. Alt-tab works in the menues.I'm also on Arch 64-bit with nvidia (GTX765M), but I can't get the configuration utility to run. It crashes with a few "wrong ELF class" messages. Did you have to do anything special to get it to run?
Only problems I’ve noticed:
- ~/.mbwarband/ directory instead of ~/.config/mbwarband/
- thinks my keymap is qwerty
- infinite loop at exit, you have to kill the process.
