The Ashes of the Singularity Linux request topic has more requests than the game has reviews

Normally I'm following the Linux-request threads of games I'm interested in on the steam forums. But this thread I had to unfollow again :D The response to the devs request is really huge. Haven't seen any other thread exploding like this.
Which is kinda cool!

I loved the banner saga, waonky as it was and still is, there is virtually no hope for the bannersaga2 on linux, si i really love this game, the art style and music are very simular. but thats rather a good thing.

Quoting: omer666You need to have this as command line option:

It disables Steam Runtime for a single game. Very useful!

Thanks!

This is yet another Win for Vulkan over DX12, it's small wins like this we need, more vulkan usage amongst developers = more games on Vulkan which will make majority of new games playable, if not natively through wine with equal performances to Windows :)

Great news!

I would have been willing to buy this at full price but just got it in the latest humble monthly bundle. I hope things like that are taken into account when looking at linux sales overall.

They changed the tiers: Important changes to the reward tiers

QuoteI want to thank you for your trust, support and help with this project! To celebrate our first small victory, we decided to add more prizes to the reward tiers:

  • Everybody who chooses ALBIUS WATCHMAN ($35) and ALBIUS BURGOMASTER ($45) will also receive the comic book and digital art book.

  • Our OST (now already 50 minutes of music) by Adam Skorupa, the composer of The Witcher will be received by everybody who chooses ALBIUS WATCHMAN ($35) and ALBIUS BURGOMASTER ($45).

  • Everybody selecting the EARLY BIRD — MYTHS OF TERMINUM tier ($65) will receive a CD copy of the music.

Quoting: omer666[...] GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not defined in file libstdc++.so.6 with link time reference [...]

Any idea?

You probably solved but in case you didn't... Are you using some non-standard glibc libs? 3rd party maybe? Try installing the stable one from Fedora repositories. The libstdc++6 would be the right package for Ubuntu so maybe it's named something similar in your distribution. If you don't want to change your OS libraries just LD_PRELOAD it in app properties.

Yes I sorted it out by completely disabling the Steam runtime, but the game has some big graphical bugs in combat, too bad...

How do you disable Steam runtime?

You need to have this as command line option:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" %command%

It disables Steam Runtime for a single game. Very useful!

I tried the fedora libs, the steam version and versions from other game folders. Won't start with any of them, but it does start with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" %command%"

Adam Skorupa is good. He wanted to work on Witcher-like music project, but ended up doing it for this game.

Similarity with Banner Saga is really rooted in art influence (Banner Saga weren't entirely original in it too):

I agree though, that +$45 (for the base $20 pledge) for the soundtrack sounds too much.

It looks and sounds gorgeous but their tiers are a bit hard to decipher. I'm fairly interested in getting the soundtrack but according to the Kickstarter tier list on the right, that's a $65 price tag; according to their own tier overview graphics, it's $45 and yet again, it's listed as a $10 digital add-on with no mention of how to get/add it. This confusion can't be helping them reach their goal :/

This was the last game I ever let other people play with. It was returned to me with the cardboard box broken and the CDs scratched :( If they release the Linux version on GOG will buy for sure :D

Quoting: gabberI really do not get why they totally rule out MP.

I purchased this game because they did rule it out. Hopefully it means all development will go into SP and we get an awesome ai experience as apposed to the usual very mediocre (if any at all) experience that we get with games that include (and focus) on MP...

ps. purchased linux version naturally. :)

The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows Linux market-share has increased, slightly

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI still have this pipedream where either China gets serious about security from US government hacking or Microsoft makes a big push to stop Windows being pirated in Asia. In either case, we'd see some sudden, massive Linux adoption spikes.
that is why microsoft will never fight piracy, it makes more sense to then to have their product pirated than to have an competition for it.
