If you have passed up on Wasteland 2: Director's Cut before you may want to take a look now, as it's having a free weekend on Steam.

I really need to give the game a proper go. Every time I try it something about it just fails to hook me in. Does anyone else have that issue with it? To be fair though, I haven't properly tried it since they revamped it in the last big update.

It's not only free weekend, it's also 50% off, so if you like what you see now is a good time to pick it up on the cheap.

About the game (From Steam)
From the Producer of the original Fallout comes Wasteland 2, the sequel to the first-ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG.

The Wasteland's hellish landscape is waiting for you to make your mark... or die trying. With over 80 hours of gameplay, you will deck out your Desert Ranger squad with the most devastating weaponry this side of the fallout zone, test the limits of your strategy skills, and bring justice to the wasteland.

Quoting: kDomb
Quoting: manero666it crashed after selecting "new game", i'm on AMD

i solved this problem checking the log file at
~/.config/unity3d/inXile/Wasteland2/Player.log
(every unity game log a file in there)

it says that this file is corrupted and creates problems:

'/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Wasteland2/Linux/WL2_Data/Streaming/Scenes/MainMenu.unity3d'

after removing it i was able to launch a new game and select some characters, anyway i end up having no hud, a lot of graphical issues with the 4 charcters, no sound and the game stucks, only the esc button works..

i'll try again tomorrow also with wine gallium-nine


This should help

I have the same issue and was hopeful that changing the file limits would help, but it did not. It loads the "new game" dialog but crashes about 2 seconds later.

My Player.log ends with:

The file '/home/micah/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Wasteland 2/Linux/WL2_Data/Streaming/Items/ItemTemplates_CharacterCreate.unity3d' is corrupted! Remove it and launch unity again!

The developers have put up this post about it to explain the error about it not being the Director's Cut.. Valve claim it's not possible, but the comments already say otherwise.

You can install the Director's Cut by following this link and then clicking the green button in the top right labeled "Free".

Quoting: Stupendous ManI just can't sit down and play anything for any length of time these days, it's 38+ degrees C outside and I prefer to just sit in the shade on the terrace reading books...
Who knows, maybe it'll be 75% off when autumn arrives.

Nothing wrong with that. Gaming is only one part of entertainment / life :)
