Psychonauts now available for Linux DRM-Free!

So I finally got the new version downloaded and it is pretty much what I expected - most of the annoying gameplay bugs and issues are fixed but there are still performance problems. Pretty much like what I had with the test patch, actually.
The Cave indie game delayed a week!

finished it on the ps3 (sorry but was free a few days and as it did not pop up for linux when released) I enjoyed it a lot but to complete all puzzles/chars you end up with a few puzzles that appear in all sessions and they sort of get boring.  But all puzzles are pretty good and not to far fetched.  Liked it a lot.

Linux depots went up on Steam last night, so they're at least testing it at the moment. Fingers crossed it isn't too far away (it's also hard to tell from Justin's post whether he's talking about the week just gone, or an additional week's worth of delay).

We're going to be playing The Cave for Game Club later this month (and Ron should be joining us). It'll be pretty neat :D

Quoting: HamishIt should be noted that HIB5 owners also have a new version up for download as of January 7. No idea if it fixes all of the performance problems, but most of the in-game and graphical glitches should be fixed. Will need to download it to give you guys more info.

Thanks for the tip, I had no idea! I'll warm up my BitTorrent client... :P


I sure hope this version solves the annoying glitches. If so, I might give it another go and try to finish the game (damn Meat Circus! ><)

I was about to ask the same question.  I wasn't crashing with the last version either, so far as I had played into the game anyway.  I will have to try the latest version when I get home and report back later.  Right now I have installed the latest Catalyst (13.1), and I am on an AMD HD7870 running on Ubuntu Studio 12.10 64 bit.  I haven't run Psychonauts since I updated the driver, so that may make a difference as well.  I'll see how well this new arrangement works.

Which drivers are you using and where? I never got any crashes, just performance problems and glitches, and that was with the version released in August. Diamond HD4670 with the R600g drivers.

Crusader Kings 2 get 55% off!
By Kurremkarmerruk, 1 February 2013 at 2:59 pm UTC
I can't get this to run at all!  It just says "installing directX" and then it goes right back to steam...I tried going to the experimental or beta channel and it says that those are password protected.

Windward development stopped and it's now free
By , 31 January 2013 at 10:59 pm UTC
It's also worth noting that the developer of Windward also wrote the highly successfully NGUI GUI framework for Unity. At $95 per license and every second serious Unity game using it, from a purely financial perspective it would have made far more sense to focus on further developing and supporting NGUI tool than Windward.

Still, I hope Windward development gets resurrected one day (I think it's unlikely it will go open source, since it almost certainly uses the proprietary frameworks like NGUI that Tarshen developed) - otherwise, better luck next game !
Waveform now available on Humble Store DRM-Free and Steam Key
By Cheeseness, 31 January 2013 at 8:21 pm UTC
Just had a quick chat with flibitijibibo (who did the Linux port), and apparently the subsystem causing the crashes is not in the DRM free version, and there's a Steam update that's likely to be not too far away :)

Man, that game looks awesome! Glad to see Unity has some working multiplayer, I've got some friends interested in using that engine.
Counter Strike 1.6, how to actually get playing

I see they also fixed the issue with adding favorites to the list. Mine would never stay there.

Already have the game on Steam, absolutely loving it (except for it crashing when the overlay is enabled). Any idea if we can get the DRM-free version if we already have it on Steam?
Counter Strike 1.6, how to actually get playing
By Liam Dawe, 31 January 2013 at 3:27 pm UTC
It is not about players connected, but players actually playing. So someone sitting as a spectator wouldn't be classed as playing which the fake servers all have lots of people as spectators.

As far as I know anyway, i've yet to have an issue when using the has people playing option.

This really isn't enough to filter them out though. Most of the fake / redirect servers lie about the number of players connected and even the ping.

The best way I have found to find real servers is to right click on the bar that has "servers", "game", "players", etc... (see screenshot link below)
http://s7.postimage.org/ervt98q2j/bots.jpg

then just check "Bots" and a new column will appear that places a little gear symbol next to any server with bots (also does it to fake / redirect servers as far as I can tell). Just sort the list by this column and now you have a list of real servers at the top.

Already tried the demo from Steam. I had a few crashes, but overall it works well.
I might get it eventually.

It's still too early to say if it's definitely canceled. :(
Give him some time to calm down; this was obviously quite a stressful experience.
