Codemasters Looking At Supporting Linux, GRID Autosport Possible
By Sabun, 4 May 2014 at 5:01 pm UTC
That would be great. Codemaster's racing games are next to impossible to get working in Wine. The closest success I've had is with the first GRID, and even then it just randomly crashes.

Quoting: wleoncioAwesome! But what AAA racers does Linux already have?
Right now none I can think of, but we have the ones mentioned at the bottom of the article coming.

Oh, OK, now I see what you meant. ;) I'd actually failed to see there was more text after the quote, LOL.

Hope their next Formula 1 game has Linux support. I own F1 2011 and 2012 but can't play them anymore. Probably my most missed games since I stopped dual booting. At least I can still play GP4 in wine while I wait.

Yes, part 1 was/is really fun, the animations are as cute as those in Escape Goat 2. A clear want-have, even without watching a trailer :D
MouseCraft, The Mix Of Lemmings & Tetris To Release This July For Linux
By , 4 May 2014 at 3:36 pm UTC
Ah, waiting for that one, sort of. I saw some teasers etc., and really liked it. But the game is currently Steam-only, so I couldn't try myself. So I've loosely(*) marked July in my calender...
(*)April had been marked, too, for 'The Sky above', but that seems to have passed without action...

LEVEL 22, Gary's Misadventures Stealth Game Now On Steam For Linux
By Sslaxx, 4 May 2014 at 2:48 pm UTC
Fireflower Games, at about £2.88, is the cheapest place (as of right now at least) to buy this game from.

I give them bonus points for never using the word "retro" on their Steam page.

Looks kinda like a bullet hell sort of game in the preview. Not sure yet if that makes me more or less likely to get it.

Great game. Reminds me alot of Gauntlet on the c64.
Been having alot of fun with it, can't wait to try out the thief.

The developer has been really good at sorting out any problems us linux players have aswell.
It doesn't require mono dev packages, or even mono at all on your system anymore. Fixed up all the controller problems. I can't wait for them to make more games.

Major Steam Client Beta Update, In-Home Streaming Available To All
By HadBabits, 4 May 2014 at 2:11 am UTC
It should also be noted that you currently can only stream from Windows and Mac boxes. Linux hosts have been disabled currently with the intention of fixing some bugs; unfortunately meaning that those only possessing Linux boxes, including myself, are currently out of luck :P

The Wine Development Release 1.7.18 Is Now Available
By gbudny, 3 May 2014 at 8:03 pm UTC
Quoting: JIghtuseSome folks (e.g., Joel Spolsky thinks that you must not write new code until you have unfixed bugs. It is hard and it is not the case with Wine development. But hey, do you keep a bug in a code you work on just because it is used in rare cases you can use native programs for GNU/Linux?

For example, I do not think that is a bug in Wine:

"Ankh 2: Heart of Osiris fails to start"

This game is available for Linux and Mac OS X.
Moreover, I strongly believe that Wine should inform their users about availability of the games that are available for Linux and Mac OS X.
In my view, users should not rely on Windows applications, if they do not have to use them. Why WIne developers do not care about native applications for Linux and Mac OS X?

Steam Hardware Survey For April 2014, Linux Rises From The Ashes

Ah ok. Fair enough. So they really hiding them then. I was right about lsb-release though. Another user said the same thing in the comments.
Steam Hardware Survey For April 2014, Linux Rises From The Ashes
By Liam Dawe, 3 May 2014 at 3:28 pm UTC
Quoting: ChazzaAbout distros being hidden, I don't think they are being hidden. I think it's just that steam can't detect them. I've found that if you have linux standard base (lsb) installed then steam will detect your distro correctly. I'm on Arch and without lsb installed my os is detected as Linux 3.10 (64 bit) but with lsb installed my os is detected as "Arch Linux" (64 bit). Try installing lsb and checking System Information in steam. In Arch the package is called lsb-release. Presumably it's called something similar in other distros.

No, they are being hidden: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/steams-hardware-survey-now-shows-many-distros.1845

They had the ability to show them before, they now don't.

New Unreal Tournament In The Works, Could See A Native Linux Version

Eh, I am still in the group that thinks the original UT was the best of the series, but I admittedly prefer Quake 3 over any UT game anyway.
The Wine Development Release 1.7.18 Is Now Available
By mrdeathjr, 3 May 2014 at 2:18 pm UTC
Quoting: mrdeathjr
Quoting: Anonymousany news on the CMST patch front?
Much part of csmt code its added on wine recent versions (this situation have described for stefan dosinger) but all work not integrated for now, crossover seem have it

But at this time, wine 1.8 stay more closer and CSMT has mentionated for wine 1.8 release criteria as other users said

Something more, CSMT results can vary depend game, in ones give more performance in others its equal, in others is worst or in others give graphic bugs

On my channel have some csmt test if you need

http://www.youtube.com/user/mrdeathjr28

Also other channels as xpander also have csmt results
