Quoting: Geppeto35I know lot of people love this game. Did I miss something? The remaining of the game is identical to those 30 min?

Yep, you missed something ;)

Honestly it's not for everyone. There is a lot of reading, and also some pretty thought provoking stuff.

I personally regard as one of my all time favourite games.

Don't know why, I never succeeded to enjoy the first 30 min while I love and enjoy multiple times BG and Fallout 1&2... I know lot of people love this game. Did I miss something? The remaining of the game is identical to those 30 min?
I own the game on gog and may give a try to this enhanced edition.

So basically you have to login to your precious Steam account on a third-party machine you know nothing about, only to be greeted by a Windows desktop? For a dollar per day? No, thanks.

God, I miss OnLive.

Very nice game this one. Flag run is quite fun and a true coop experience. I love previous UTs with a special taste for Warfare mode (vehicule and control of check points while trying to destroy ennemy core).

Work find on my linux since nearly one year, I'm on every evening ^^

No Italian translation, no buy!

Note: the original Planescape had an amateur italian translation done by the same people that some years after did the official translation for Baldur's Gate:EE and Icewind's games, so my hopes are high ;)
To no surprise the Cossacks 3 Linux version has been delayed once again
By lovemytux, 29 March 2017 at 7:03 am UTC
QuoteThis is a damn shame, since I've been really hyped to play it as a massive RTS fan, but now I really do feel my enthusiasm for it vanishing with each delay.
Exactly what I am thinking about it.

This looks really nice and fun. I think it looks like a worthy game on our platform and I shall buy it.

QuoteWe’re still waiting for NVidia/Epic to fix the major graphical glitch under Linux, but we will keep you posted on that.

It doesn't sound like this fix is forthcoming. It's been a while since they found it, and apparently nothing is fixed still.

Quoting: ShmerlAbout delayed versions. What happened to Everspace? They said, they had some issues, and nothing since then.
Quoting their February news from steam:
QuoteHowever, a major task has been completed: we migrated the whole project to Unreal Engine 4.14, which enables us to simultaneously release all upcoming patches and the full version across all current platforms. We’re still waiting for NVidia/Epic to fix the major graphical glitch under Linux, but we will keep you posted on that.

Probably not the kind of game I'd be very good at, but I'm impressed by the apparent depth of it and I like its style and sounds. I definitely need to give that soundtrack a listen as well.

Hi minidou - I will try to provide a few answers below. :)

Quoting: minidouAlso 60GB hard drive is disappointing this doesn't fit GTA+DOOM.

While most games (even modern ones) will be fine with the 60GB limit, we realise that there are a few that won't. However, the 60GB was the only way it made sense with the infrastructure (and price) here in the beginning. We have tested out a lot of other disk size options, and this is one of the areas we'll be looking to improve in the future. Thanks for the interest, and we'll make sure to keep you posted once we are ready with more disk space. :)

Quoting: minidouStill will test as there's a free try possibility. It seems you can add non-steam too, anyone tried that? how does it work? Can you mount a CD and install there? Copy files?

Yup, anything can be installed. Simply install it as you would any other game (e.g. downloading and running a game installer). After installing, just add it as a "Non-Steam game" in your Steam library, and it will be available to stream. :)

Quoting: minidouwhat if you play 10 hours in a single day of the month?

The website states "Billed monthly", do you only pay for the day you used the service, or do you pay 32$ every month?

I agree that playing 10 hours per month probably wouldn't justify using Snoost. Then again, at a local game cafe here in Denmark, you pay $4 an hour to play. Playing 10 hours with Snoost ($1 a day) would still be less than that. Not ideal, and probably not convincing ( :P ), but just a small comparison. We wanted to keep things simple in the beginning, for instance just having one single plan that provided an unlimited amount of hours of gaming. We'll be looking into offering other plans in the future, but for now a daily plan just didn't seem to make sense. However, we'll be keeping an eye on discussions and with enough support we might add it later on. :)

Again, since we're rather new one of our main focuses is to check discussions like these, to get an idea of which areas people want us to improve on, and then work day and night to get there. :) So thanks for the support guys, we're really excited to see where we can take cloud gaming. :)

I remember a similar scenario where a developer postponed the Linux version multiple times and then eventually announced that it had been cancelled due to development 'difficulties'.
I don't like feeling like I'm being strung along.

Fedora already uses it I believe.

Quoting: runedaltonThe reason we decided to go for a "any game you own" approach, is that we simply didn't want to restrict the selection, as that would only have enabled gamers to play the games that we had the regional commercial licenses for, which is something that other companies have tried and yes... ended up with a very limited offering of games, plus we saw it as a something that could drive the costs up and thus make it impossible to offer cloud gaming for the price that we wanted.

I see why the service is not available in south america. Most of my games won't work they are region locked to South America. This won't work for me (and a lot of people). Unless they deploy a server in South America.

I've had a lot of luck with just dropping down/over to another desktop (I use ctl+shift+arrow) instead of ALT+TAB, even with full screen like DiRT Rally or Civ6. Always worth a shot..

Definitely been there though, like with Vulkan up to about December; it would freeze on me where it took not just F2 but all the way out to like F7 before the SIG went through. It seems to have come a long ways since last year, but it used to lock the system hard if fps got too high (or maybe coincidence?)

Thanks for the video! It looks like a good casual or perhaps with friends/pass the controller type game.

Quoting: thelimeydragon
Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Fortunately,I can make a good bet someone on Tabletop Simulator's workshop has a mod for this already or will have one.

Mods for it exist but they will never exist on the workshop long as the game gets taken down by DoW for copyright infringement all the time. You have to ask around for people to send you the save.

If there's enough community support, that's where you get the "open" version of games that use the original game assets. Obviously that's a ton of dev time and effort, but it's turned out some amazing games.

I really wish they would reconsider on TTR; I was wanting to play this since I played the original back in HS? College? great board game...

Edit: Wrote 'bash' instead of 'back' .. all work no play :)
Day of Infamy is an absolutely brutal first-person shooter you need to play
By saildata, 29 March 2017 at 12:20 am UTC
Quoting: EhvisCould be that the group stuff and the game not staying as "playing" are related.

My guess would be a faulty startup script. I suppose that if it spawns another process and then immediately exits the script, that is could look to steam as an exit from the game. Should be an easy fix if that is the case.

Definitely. I always have /tmp/dumps/*.txt files, usually "std out" where it redirects to, and sometimes game specific ones.

After a couple years on Steam now, I've realized that the problem with ~90% of all launch errors are directly related to the Steam run time.

Recently, I've started just (1) starting Steam in native mode (or the LSI installed from the AUR - the Solus helper app) and (2) dropping down one "desktop layer" or whatever people call it, lol, and start the game from a terminal.

I also have found many issues with the overlay and typically run without it. Even when using my Steam controller, the GTK app "SC" works great.. just need to export a config file from the library to local so that SC can pick it up.

Leave a reply/message if anyone wants to play co-op on Day of Infamy.. (or if you're on Rising World.. another one that's worth 10X the $11? or so)

Be sure to check out this game's Vietnam mod "Born To Kill". It's fantastic and there's always at least 1 fully populated server going for it
