I have to agree with Mark. This is kind of disappointing from them.

So what all software is perfect??? I really do not think so or again we would all be Windows users. Tell me then why would I have problems with The Journey Down (in game play) and not with any other games. Why would I have problem with Limbo (Sound issue) and many more people that they have to put a thread about this issue. How about Harvest when you have to download a bunch of stuff just to get it running. I have formatted my computer twice just to see if it was my computer and it still does it on all them games. Unless you are the developer of one of these games then please stop defending them. Again new users would just give up on Linux for games with these issues. If you were running these games on Windows you would not have this issue.

Agreed, this is a phenomenally well-written review! Can we expect more of these? :)

It really doesn't matter what hardware you have. Anything that locks up the machine is a driver (or less likely) hardware problem.

Ok so not to be rude to you or anything but really. You have no idea what hard ware I have and this is the first game in along time that I have had a in game issue like this. With out the developers wanting to try to work it out they just gave up. I can not see it being a driver issue but with out them going over some stuff there is no way to find out. I understand that no game is perfect but holly HELL.
Look at Overgrowth that game has been in development for what almost 2 years. Hell look at any operating system it may come out with bugs but at least they are willing to work bugs out. Look at Harvest it was way to much of a pain in the but to get working. Look at Limbo on the humble bundle. That game has sound issues and there is TONS of people with the same issue for sound there. It's funny I know a lot about Linux (Ubuntu) and I tell you if I was a new user and had this much issues I would go back to windows. If you want new users to drop Windows for Linux then you have to make it as easy to do that. But we look at of its a driver issue not the programs fault. If that was the case then Windows would be the best OS out there. But nope they come out with TONS of patch's.
Hell look and Limbo they know there is a issue and will not fix it right either. But for them to get Humble Bundle money they quickly put a Linux version with a emulator on it. Sorry if you are not willing to put effort into a linux game (and there are companies that are putting effort into it) then don't put it out.

Okay, in general, anything that causes your system to hang is a driver bug. It should not matter what crazy things an application does, it shouldn't cause a hang. It can be worked around in the app of course, but it's usually better to focus on fixing the drivers.

How would I go about accepting donations on Amazon then that seems a decent bet, anyone know where to start? There doesn't seem to be any sort of simple way to do it.

I have setup a paypal account and it will take a few days to verify everything.

If you wish to donate via paypal its paypal [at] gamingonlinux.com

Hopefully it should work all okay :)

With PayPal and Amazon I would donate, but I'll check out skrill sometimes later when I get home...

Also, put a donation matter so people will know were we stand.

Silly question ... If you are in the UK, then what on earth are all those [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number']IBAN/SEPA[/URL] numbers for ?
(Unless you want to hide your number ofcours.)

Fantastic review, Hamish :D

I have to say I'm kinda surprised at how often I've had this discussion over the past couple of days. What we're talking about is the difference between "confirmation" and "supporting evidence".

Your email is succinct and is confirmation (though it's definitely not an "announcement" as many people have been saying). This video is ambiguous, but could be talking about the same thing, so it's evidence that supports the notion that Steam is coming for Linux.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 4845, member: 1"Well maybe he goes about things the right away sometimes...not many times though.

Masquerading opinion as fact is what Larabel is most renown for. It's pretty uncool and potentially deceptive.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 4841, member: 1"Well you guys can keep putting me down but I believe!

It's OK to believe. I believe too. This is about terminology. The word "confirmation" implies factual knowledge, not belief.

Edit: To be clear, I'm not a nay-sayer, I'm a say-it-right-sayer.

The two bugs stop the game and you can not do anything but restart computer. It is when you look at the cash register and when you get the ceiling fan. I have tried this on two different computers and was able to get it to crash both times. Just frustrated that first the humble bundle games was not working right and not this bundle games don't work right. I even had issues getting Harvest to work right.

I'll give it a try later, but for people in the UK perhaps money in an envelope and snail mail is the easiest option?

Quoting: "MarkMcKinnon, post: 4835"It seems that they do not care about fixing issues in there game and to just give me a refund. That really does suck because I really liked playing this game.

Just small stuff or something that stops you from playing the game?

You realize you now sound like Larabel Liam? :p

But yeah, personally, I do think it is coming. I just personally am not as excited about it as some are.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 4836, member: 1".I don't think I am doing guesswork here I feel that is confirmation...

It's guesswork to say that the video is confirmation.

It's also guesswork to say that the video refers to the same stuff as the email you received. The likelihood of that being the case doesn't have any bearing on the fact that it's speculation.
