Well, I was writing up both Outlast & Shadow warrior, then I checked my twitter feed and...dayam! Outlast & Shadow warrior are both now on Linux and in the brand new Humble Indie Bundle 14, what a day!

There goes ALL my time tonight! Of course they all have DRM free builds as well, so we can all get in on the fun.

The Games
Pixel Piracy
UnEpic
Super Splatters

Pay $10 or more to unlock!
Shadow Warrior Special Edition - Steam currently claims it's not on Linux for me, so it hasn't reached all of their networks yet.

Pay more than the average of $5.49 to unlock!
Outlast
Torchlight II
La-Mulana

More games coming soon!

Looks like Humble are back on form this time! Amazing bundle!

Check out Humble Indie Bundle 14 here.

Outlast Performance
Since this is a new port I decided that rather than spam out lots of articles, to keep it here.

Setting everything to Very High gives me a near solid 60FPS. Not sure if turning VSYNC off actually works, as my maximum FPS never went over 62FPS. I know VSYNC is usually 60FPS, but I just find 62 odd.

As I begin to play all that's going through my mind is "please be buggy, please don't make me play this!". Sadly, to my despair everything works really, really smoothly.

As I continue through the Asylum everything is working as expected, and the visuals really are quite good. Also, please don't make me crawl through that bloodied air vent :(.

I proceed to push a door and...nope, just nope. I jumped in my chair. Do not want.

it seems the port has some graphical glitches. We are uncertain how common they are, but so far they are not game-breaking. We will update you when we know more, or when we can force ourselves to play some more, it's bloody scary.

Shadow Warrior Performance
I downloaded the DRM free build since it isn't on Steam yet, and there are a few issues with the game.

On a dual monitor it stretches across both and positions itself in the middle, which is highly annoying. Full screen seems to lock all input, so I was unable to alt+tab. Luckily, I did manage to get it to work fully in Windowed mode!
This doesn't happen on the Steam version, I can alt+tab and fullscreen just fine.

I can't quite put my finger on what's going on with the graphics, but even on Ultra it looks nothing close to the fidelity shown on the Steam store.
A developer responded saying Linux is missing graphical features that are being worked on.

Performance is perfect though, I'm getting over 100FPS a lot!

Torchlight II
We already did a port report on that here.

UnEpic
Seems to work just fine in my testing, gives me a solid 60FPS and the gameplay is very smooth.

I haven't played too much of it, just the tutorial, and everything worked as expected. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Heck, yeah!

Bought this only for Torchlight II DRM free for Linux.
Can't wait to give the game a whirl.

Quoting: throghWhat a nice bundle! Bought this without further notice at all. But one question: I've noticed this MD5-error with the installation-routine for "Torchlight 2" using the DRM-free version. Two participants got it. Anybody got this working without messed up payload within binary bashscript-routine?

I have the same problem with the MD5 Error. I sent a request to HB and i wait their answer.

I doubt someone manages. The Checksum of the download is OK, so it is really the package that is broken.
The installer is a shellscript that is prepended to an tgz archive, which is messed up.
Most likely it had been transfered in ASCII ftp mode when uploading, and this is close to impossible to recover...
(at least I tried some standard tricks but failed)

Hello folks.
I've just bought the pack.

Has anyone a Phenom or Phenom II on his rig?

I can't run Shadow Warrior. It prompts "Illegal instruction" at the command line.


One of the developers said at Steam forums that the game needs SSE4.1 to run.
On the requirements section at HB web, they said Phenom or Phenom II X4.

But that processors don't have the SSE4.1 set.
They have SSE, SSE2 and SSE4a.

That developer also said he is working on a patch to lower the game requirements to SSE2.

See KnockoutGames user's comments on this.

[This issue at Steam forums](http://steamcommunity.com/app/233130/discussions/0/611702631207549138/)

I also sent a report to HumbleBundle support ninjas.

Tested Torchlight 2 downloaded via torrent: Same issue with the archive integrity. Opened up an issue at the support. But HumbleBundle is very slow in reaction sometimes and I wanted to play beloved Torchlight 2 on easter-weekend. :(

I just downloaded Torchlight 2 via the torrent & it installed first attempt, I think they might have fixed the problem you guys are experiencing. Actually I just saw when the reply right above mine was posted, I may just have been lucky.
Pit Apr 2, 2015
Yes, there's a new version now (Torchlight2-linux-2015-04-01.sh), but I'm sitting on a slow non-flat link, so I cannot test it :((( Playing unepic instead (great game, too!)

At least they have been fast fixing it.
lucifertdark Apr 2, 2015
For a game with the name unepic it's pretty EPIC, I got sucked into the story & lost 3 hours in the blink of an eye, that's the mark of a great game in my book.

The issue has been resolved. It now runs on my Athlon X3 and from the Steam forums it seems that it works too for a guy with a Phenom II.

Perfs with Mesa/RadeonSi are bad, I've yet to test the game with Catalyst (but I'd like to avoid this).
