I got MLL for free with my video card, when it came out for linux I bought all the dlc but I never really got around to playing much of it. Hell I'll probably end up buying the redux and playing that.

Quoting: dudeThank you! I always needed this command for unity-engine based games like Kerbal. But as far as I know, Witcher 2 has it's own engine. Maybe an OpenGL bug? Some deeper insight would be nice if anybody knows.

Might be related to the digits separators differences between countries. I.e. US/UK use the dot as a separator where other countries like France use the comma (which US/UK use as a list separator). It messes scripts and settings files.

This should be reported to the developers.

Been playing about with this for the last two hours.

I am truly, truly stunned as to how well this works.

My main gaming rig, i7, 16 gigs, gtx 670. Linux box under my telly, 4 year dual core zotac mini pc with integrated graphics.

I've been able to play all games at 1920x1080 resolution and fairly smooth mouse movement. The wireless connection on the zotac is actually pretty poor and kept getting "slow connection" messages with the streams, but overall, it was definitely playable.

I haven't upgraded that zotac box in years, but thinking a wireless dongle might be in order.

I can't believe how well this is working - I've got a linux games console under my telly! It kicks the ps4 and xbox arse!

Gabe and Valve - I love you guys.

QuoteI actually have a toddler myself

I read this as "I actually am a toddler myself" at first. :P

The dangers of skimming!

I have the demo of this, Arch users can also install it from the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/among-the-sleep

Unfortunately, I have not had time to try it out in much detail, but it looks good from my initial impressions!

Quoting: AnonymousOK fixed it. Add LC_ALL=C %command% launch option in Steam and choose English as a language for the game, and you can change any option you want. Runs fine on Hi Spec graphical settings on i7 4770 and GTX 660.

Quoting: GuestBought it, hopefully it will be more playable than the first one, and it will actually work on Arch Linux…

Amazed by the stupidy of Valve though, the game is not even shown on the page for Linux games on Steam. But we still have Super Meat Boy scrolling at the top, looks like it’s stuck there forever…

Valve godness! Hail to the king Gabe! PC GLORIOUS MASTER RACE!

OK I found the problem. This happens EVERY time I try to change a game option, may it be the graphics of controls.

Is you Linux french? Mine is and it may be the source of the problem.

Quoting: dude

Quoting: AnonymousCan anyone play this on Arch Linux? Here I've got no keyboard input whatsoever, keys unbind just when I start the game. Please, tell me that it's not yet ANOTHER bad port...

Same problem for me on Kubuntu 14.04 x64/Nvidia. Tried also with XB360 Pad. No input. If I set keys manually, the game crashes. I had it installed since the "beta" was accidentially released on steam, maybe it works after re-download.. I'll try

openSUSE(uptodate) running fine with KB!

If you already own Metro 2033 or Last Light, you can preorder their Redux versions for 50% discount.

Quoting: wleoncio

Quoting: OZSeafordI bought it with all the DLC's as was hoping it would come to linux one day

I did the same thing with XCOM: EU, but no DLCs. Is buying DLCs (or the games themselves) after an eventual Linux announcement help bring attention to Linux? How does Steam count OS usage, by the OS on which a game is installed or what?

Well, to be honest, I picked it up on a Humble Bundle. I think that your idea of buying the DLCs for games we already own when they come to Linux is a great idea. It sure will show them WHICH machine it is being played on, and also will give them a small financial boost.

I have just bought all the DLC's for Crusader Kings 2!

I don't care that I have to buy them again, Metro: Last Light was, for me, the first really good game to port to Linux. I don't really pay attention to what's a AAA game and what isn't, but Metro: Last Light was, to me, a AAA game. And I loved it. Played the main story line through twice, even got the Shadow Ranger achievement, and I'm still in love with it.

I'm especially happy about the 2033 news. I'm part way through reading the novel right now, so I'm very excited to see the game based off of it is coming to Linux!

I'm so happy :-D

Wait for it, maybe this is much bigger than we think!

Imagine that the host machine is not at your house, but somewhere in Gabeland?

That would mean you would not have to even own a Windows machine, and that all 3500 games would be available to play on your SteamOS box. Your SteamOS box need not be a beast as well, modest specs will enable you to play well with a thin-client.

Onlive did not work out that great, but this is 3 years later.

Then you will say, what is the incentive for the development of Native SteamOS games? well, let's face it, there would always be some discernable lag between input and what happens on the screen, even with the mighty Steam Controller. So people would still buy the native versions when available.

is 19.99 Euro on Humble Store so save up money for the release :P

L4D3 was not much of a surprise after Valve decided to give L4D2 to Steam users last Christmas, but I'm still a bit skeptic about HL3 ever being released.

For me it was simply a 25MB download, as the game was already downloaded 2 months ago, when they first gave access to the game.

I can't believe this is happening, thios and all the other games, I now have a BACKLOG of AAA games on Linux!

Since I only run Linux and BSD, this isn't useful to me yet. I do look forward to being able to stream games from my main Desktop Linux machine to my lower spec media box connected to my entertainment system though.

Quoting: loggfreaki absolutely love the fact that they post at which settings you can run the game with the minimum and recommended settings

Is that uncommon for other games?

For the people wondering about discount, the games are already up on Steam for pre-order 50% off for owners of the original games.

While I'm mostly too scared to keep playing xD (and probably boot Windows a couple of times this year to muck about in the Star Citizen hangar), I was happy when I read the title, but then if I had to buy it again at full price, no dice. Probably only get it if it was heavily discounted, especially for pre-owners!

got only metro 2033(bought before i switched to linux), so that kinda sucks for me, the title gave me false hope :(
