Okay so Killing Floor on intel HD4000 at 1920x1080 resolution = good performance, awesome work!

Yup and even though it installs with a resolution of 800x600 (lolqut) i managed to find the config to change it, haven't tested performance yet though.

As an idea, maybe merge the side columns and have more horizontal space for articles, this way they use less vertical space and you can fit in more.

Well, either way KF is now updated for everyone.

It also won't change screen resolution.

Sigh more buggy games. Maybe i should start calling them Crash Bundles in my titles, they release them far too bloody soon every time!

had the lockup but could get out of it with a double ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X, shame its buggy, had fun time with it so far

Quoting: "Anon, post: 6260"All the games have the binaries, but only for the beta-testers. KF is on Linux, TF2 is on Linux and CKII is on Linux, but only for the lucky 1000 (and UDS attendees).

This isn't the case. Everything that you already own that has Linux listed under "validoslist" in its CDR will show up in your games list, but only games that appear [URL='http://store.steampowered.com/search#os=linux']here[/URL] actually have published content, even for beta participants (so, for example, Rochard appears in everybody who has it's game list, but installing it only creates an empty folder).

For anybody who's poking around with a distro other than Ubuntu, I'm trying to keep a current list maintained [URL='http://steamcommunity.com/groups/steam-linux/discussions/0/882965239594443552/']here[/URL]. So far, people have reported Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, Mint, OpenSUSE, and a couple of flavours of Debian, along with a nice range of WMs/DEs.

With regards to Unity, the lack of modding support is one of the reasons why RWS is hesitant to use it for their next game. If someone could dig up more information on the status of modding support for Unity or if they have any plans to improve it, it could go a long way to getting their next game on Linux.

A tad short, but to the point. I fish them best of luck!

A friend of mine used to play and loved it, I will be getting it.

Also, anyone got any idea how good Red Orchestra is? It's coming to Linux as well, but I've no idea whether it's worth getting. Hopefully the second one will come eventually as well, but for that we'd need Unreal 3...

Yeah, I really hope I can get in for the sake of KF and that they release L4D2 in the next round. They work well enough under Wine, but now that they are coming, I don't want to put up with Wine!

They also just added a load of character pack DLC's for Killing Floor :)

Quoting: "Kame, post: 6252, member: 102"Woot! Looks like SS3:BFE got an update and now actually has the binaries and runs! Runs decent on my system, there were a few skips when I started the game but it smoothed out and ran fine even on ultra settings

As usual, stats for this bundle can be viewed/compared on my Humble Visualisations page :D

And I'm capturing some hourly data too (this stuff is work in progress though)
http://cheesetalks.twolofbees.com/humble/ts/

I'm in the process of slowly doing a big overhaul which will clean up a lot of the visual issues I've been running into with stuff getting crowded up >_<

If you want to talk about getting shafted, look at the IndieRoyale bundles with no Linux titles rather than this one :/

Well, with Steam you have to buy into their philosophy. If you don't, you are left in the cold. That is true in general.

In this specific case though, we will have to wait and see, and it is still in closed beta after all. I am really kind of perplexed by all the people jumping into this thing so quickly and in some ways leaving their good sense at the door - it is still very early yet, so calm down and down everyone and maybe learn a little bit of patience.

Says someone who is personally not terribly interested I know. But still...

Well, thankfully the Humble guys are starting to realize the need for better testing and QA. They have been way too many problems lately.

It's just me I never really did like puzzle games like that where as sci fi stuff like Waking Mars is right up my street.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6246, member: 1"I have reported it to [email protected] as soon as I found it.

I don't personally care if old builds where great, new builds should be thoroughly tested.

Just tried Splice, puzzle game it seems, very odd, not my type of game, nice music though.

Yeah, but just to say this: the devs are very Linux-friendly and new to Linux, and it seems to have passed unnoticed. I'm sure it'll be sorted out soon, as they have been very quick to respond to all complaints and bugs so far.

To each their own, I personally love Splice, just hate how short it is.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6244, member: 1"Well they didn't do enough testing it seems, changing resolution isn't a hard thing to test...

I guess I ask for too much.

As I said, it worked (it worked great actually), and now it's broken for single-monitor set ups. Please report the bug to them, as this is a recent regression, and the new builds were only out for a single day, but the beta-testing went over a period of at least two weeks.

Also, the Linux version is not ported but made by the original devs, it's a fully crossplatform game, so quite nice.

Ah, it worked on RC2 and then they fixed multimonitor support, so I guess it broke that. Report it as fast as you can, please, just ask for a bug report link on the Humble Bundle Chat. Or send them an e-mail, but you know the drift.
