Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: BlistoAlso note that the ANV MR hasn't been merged yet. It's been sitting for 9 months.

The Aggressive Nano Virus Mega Replicator? I can see why they'd hesitate to merge that.

No, seriously, what's an ANV MR?

ANV = Intel Vulkan driver (supposed to be short for Anvil, I guess?). MR = merge request, for the patch that adds the new code.

Quoting: Goggo66It seems Valve has messed up this beta release. See here:
[Steam Client Maximum number of clients reached ]

Ah, that explains why I had to kill my X session earlier.

Quoting: loggeSeems the new big picture mode was fixed over night (according to the thread you posted)

Works here, but as also noted in that thread, it's quite "laggy".

@Liam, you could try the negativo17 repo for Nvidia drivers (I've used it for years); it's got the 525 driver.

FWIW, Backbone was supposed to have a Linux native release (broken Kickstarter promise):
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/106061903/backbone-pixel-art-detective-adventure-inspired-by/description

The original demo had a Linux version, and was well received. The final game was widely panned for deviating from the original gameplay, so it wasn't just the Linux backers who were upset with what got released.

Wasteland 3 was also a crowd-funded game, and they delivered on their promises, despite being swallowed up by Microsoft. Since I already have it, GreedFall is the main game of interest here for me, and I'm not sure if it's worth it? It looks like it has sold in the ballpark of $8 previously.

Frictional has been doing Linux builds since before Steam supported Linux, so it would indeed be disappointing if they stopped now. Despite having all of their games, I've only played SOMA so far - and it's definitely great!

First thing I noticed was that it quadrupled the size of the download. It's still on the small size, but made me wonder if there's a big Godot runtime statically linked in.
