Quoting: ageres

But the whole Left 4 Dead 1 is included into Left 4 Dead 2.

Yes, I know. But that wish to have everything running here is strong :-)

Today, Linux game porter Ethan Lee begins officially working on Steam Play's Proton

Speaking of Proton, now its possible to finally play one of the few Valve games that were not ported to Linux: Alien Swarm. It would be nice if Liam take a look at it.

Also, Left 4 Dead 1 still doesn't work for me.

Feral show off Total War: WARHAMMER II on Linux, along with confirming more Linux ports and a Vulkan teaser

If my experience with Proton means something, Feral is pretty safe. Unless Proton magically hits Gallium 9 levels of performance, their ports will always be better.

And I still keep my promise of "no tux, no bux".

Unsung Warriors, an upcoming 2D action-adventure has a free prologue available and it's pretty good

I tested it and indeed, the controls are really good. Looking forward to the finalized game.

Mark of the Ninja Remastered from Klei Entertainment due out on October 9th

I hope they improve the performance a bit too. The original wasn't the most lightweight indie game I played on a AMD APU, and one of the reasons I fear for the choice Atari made for their new Linux based console.

Indie racing game Super Indie Karts adds a new slower mode, it's actually pretty great

I bought it last time you showed it. It's still early on development, a limited number of tracks are available. And those that are, some need a rebalance of obstacles on the course, because it can be pretty annoying sometimes.
3D tracks also have performance issues, even on more beefy hardware. This is a type of game that need to care for low budget hardware.

With that said, it carries a lot of potential, because it nailed that Mario Kart feel pretty well. The only one on PC that I can remember. The developer have a real gem on their hands.

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS to get more multithreading

When Xbox One and PS4 were announce with 8 core CPUs, you would think that developers would think 4 cores or more is the future. But unfortunately Intel continued pumping out 2 core CPUs like there's no tomorrow, so you have a large consumer base with those and worse, 2 core, 2 thread Pentiums.

Only now Intel is making 4 core CPUs their baseline. And we have to thanks AMD for that.

Adventure and exploration platformer 'La-Mulana 2' is planned for Linux

I hope they make the menus less awkward this time. The first one needed some studying to get out of the game...

Super Indie Karts, a retro-inspired racer is now available on Linux

Looks like my next buy.

I hope this to be light enough to play splitscreen multiplayer on a older AMD APU, like the one in the Atari new console. A lot of indie games are too heavy for modest systems.

The CTO of Croteam has written up a post about 'The Elusive Frame Timing'

Yeap, some games have a acute case of this. For me, in Linux, it mostly happens on the SCS truck simulators.

I'm just waiting for Freesync to be working okay on the opensource drivers, to pull the trigger on a LG Ultrawide monitor.
