Indie FPS 'Ballistic Overkill' updated with a new 'Rounds' game mode

They seem to have pushed an update that breaks vulkan and causes graphical issues. launch options "%command% -force-opengl" is a work around for the moment.

I like the new mode. The UI is very clumsy and after death is annoying, but a little polish should fix that. Still desperately needs new maps. 'Rounds' in the wonderdome is a waste of time.

The Long Dark has a big survival mode update in preparation for overhauling the story mode

Played for a couple of hours tonight. The game and sound works but do still get errors in /tmp/dumps/...stdout.txt
along the lines of
AK Error: Plug-in not registered: 8912899
AK Error: Could not allocate effect: 8912899

I think some of the sound banks are missing in
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/TheLongDark/tld_Data/StreamingAssets/Audio/GeneratedSoundBanks/Linux/

I am guessing this would refer to 8912899.wem that isnt there. Verified game files in steam and all okay. So maybe these were obsolete sounds or effects.

The only other thing I can think of then is to try the 32bit version of the game, the executable is in the same directory in the steam version. Hopefully the same for you. I hope it works because it is a great game. I have lost far too many hours in it. Currently it is running well for me except for an annoying graphical glitch sometimes when moving the camera.

Does that package include the 32bit libraries as well?

@shmerl try these launch options
LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 %command%

and libsdl2 ... :)
