Their email support was quite fast to reply, even if it was just to say "we'll look into that".

Added a couple of sentences, not sure I can write much more about the game itself, I only spent a couple of minutes with it so far.

If you can expand the post a little i can move it to the news :), I will give it a go at somepoint heard it can be pretty cpu intensive though.

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 3759, member: 122"I haven't had any problems with Shank or SMB myself.

Assuming you've already identified, subscribed to and submitted any extra details you might have to relevant bugs on the icculus.org bugzilla, it wouldn't hurt to shoot an email to the [email protected] as well (including relevant bug numbers). Maybe they can get Icculus' attention (or one of the other people working on maintaining the Humble Bundle ports).

Yep, done and done.

The most frustrating is the Anomaly people. The forum seems to only be monitored by some sort of helpdesk person, with no way of contacting the devs directly. If nothing else it might be possible to sweet-talk someone with an @intel.com address to contact them. Hopefully that's harder to ignore than just mere customers...

These are mostly problems with the later bundles, yes. I got a reply now that they're looking into the problem with ZB2. I also asked about proper updates for Shank and SMB.

QuoteBut I am leery about Team Meat. They do not seem to really care about us.

Yeah, though I'm not sure if it's bad of HIB to support not-so-Linux-friendly devs, or a good idea as there wouldn't have been much chance of a port otherwise? :confused:

Well, I do not have any Humble Bundle after Introversion, but I have not had that many problems, at least not many that I have not been able to solve.

Granted, I had to fix the Trine problems myself, but I am not unhappy with the support guy I talked to. It is just I was a bit more competent on Linux issues than he was.

There were some problems with Dungeons of Dredmor, but they put out an update.

And this is all on the R600 Gallium3D Drivers. So that has not really been my problem.

As for the latest ones, well, I can not really comment. But I am leery about Team Meat. They do not seem to really care about us.

Quoting: "Xpander, post: 3760, member: 92"i guess open source drivers still the common issue for some games with more gaphical detail or features and also some sound problems that have been plagued linux quite some time.
i myself havent run into those tho. but i have been using prop drivers with my ati card when i had it and now with nvidia as well.

The thing is that these were bugs _in the games_ not the drivers. But Nvidia and AMD doesn't follow the specs, so Mesa ends up taking the blame.

Up to the Voxatron Debut, I've had no problems either (except Cortex Command, which stopped receiving updates to the Linux version, but it's a beta). Binding of Isaac is terribly slow on any machine, while works well under wine. Then there was SMB, where the community part does not work. I personally didn't have any problems with Shank, but I guess I was just lucky.

Before they started including Team Meat games, the Linux support was great. But Team Meat does not care at all. They did not even advertise the bundles (the ones they were in) on their website. That's my way of measuring as to whether the dev cares or not.

Have you contacted the Humble Bundle guys as well as reporting problems to the developers?

I haven't personally encountered any of the problems you're mentioning.

- Zen Bound 2 silently fails to start with Mesa drivers. You need to manually disable antialias in the game config. Considering that they asked for Linux beta testers and promised include Mesa devs with the beta testers this should have been caught and fixed.

- Still no fixes for Shank and Super Meat Boy. One needs to dig around in the bug tracker to find patches.

- Anomaly Warzone Earth from the first Android bundle is still broken. It was broken when it was first released (I could repeat the gripes about testing again here) and it's still broken in the latest update (which we waited a month for) with no word whatsover from the developers.

Well, there STILL hasn't been any updates for the games from the HIB 4.

What is wrong with the quality of them?

Nice, though I'm quite disappointed by the quality and support of the Linux ports from the bundles.

This thing should really get on Desura, like how Xonotic is.

Quoting: "anonymous, post: 3691"Vessel is in Humble store and I think is coming to Linux:

Quoting: "Eddward, post: 3706, member: 78"Well, I did a little looking. The game looks interesting, but what make you think it's coming to Linux? Just that they sell through Humble Store?

I have contacted them to find out for us.

I always ignore metacritic, i never trust it at all. Look at the reviews on Desura from actual players, not reviews who are all "its no gears of war".

8.7/10 on Desura so far.

Donated my part, I'm sure 1.5M will be raised, we got more then a month left.
I even think we can reach 3M as with that adventure game ;)

I have lost faith in most commercial game reviewers already, to be honest.

I can not comment on the game of course, but still...

It seems to have gotten some pretty mixed reviews, but I'm all for keeping an open mind until I can try it myself.
