Team Fortress 2 'Meet Your Match' major update teased, sounds exciting

Runs fine for me on AMD (prop driver)
Not played in a while though
Edit:
@DamonLinuxPL
Just noticed that you use Mageia too, What driver you using ?

Quoting: PeciskQuoting: DamonLinuxPLSadly TF2 is now (as many gamers reporting) broken on Linux. Look at valve github, many reports and no one from Valve carring about it. TF2 after The Tough Break for me is unplayable. Before I playing in max setting on my notebook, now I can't play even on low details. FPS drop (a lot of Linux gamers), game have micro lags (also many Linux gamers reporting) and often crashing or hanging X server.
So, maybe anyone have contact with anyone who know if or when Valve want to fix it? or how to fix it manually?
None of these things for me on both laptop and desktop. I will guess - AMD?

Wow! Back in the day my PC was not capable enough to run NS2 on GNU/Linux, so I asked Unknown Worlds Forum to port good old NS into Linux.
http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/comment/2177568/#Comment_2177568
After many years, I gave up on that mod and meanwhile recently I got a new PC which can run many Linux games. Now NS is avalable for Linux but servers are empty. Better than nothing I guess. :-D
They even messaged me to ask for testing; I did not see, shame...

An update on the GOL Podcast, we need help

I almost missed this post.
If a non fluent english speaker is needed, I'd be happy to co-host the podcast, but the schedule is terrible for me.
I understood I'm not the best option, but hey, if for any reason you need a substitute of the substitute of the substitute... (you see my point, don't you?), I'll be glad to help.

Quoting: DaverballI know, it's just amusing that they state it like so.QuoteOh, Valve developers forget they do OpenGL again?Well, technically they do not for any of their Source games, it's just a translation layer that converts the DX9 calls to OpenGL:
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/ToGL
It's a different story for Source 2 though, where they actually support native OpenGL.

On a side note, would DF run on an Ubuntu Phone? I suppose it doesn't run on ARM devices?

It looks interesting but i'm usually not into sandbox games like this. Need more of a narrative to follow. If it is on for a good sale on GOG I may bite. Either way more DRM free Linux games are always a good thing.

Doesn't help that the description is very specific to being about helping run Steam games, not games in general.
By nmk, 6 July 2016 at 4:15 pm UTC
Quoting: SpykerIt seems those devs never heard of the Steam Runtime.How useful is Steam Runtime to people publishing their games outside of Steam, like on GOG, or Humble? The name kinda implies it's not, but I'm not any way better aware of the specifics than bigger devs.
No need to target a specific distro, just build with the Steam Runtime and your game will run basically on any Linux distribution able to run the Steam client.

Brain, Valve just removed the steam icon because the game requires you to install Java yourself and wont work with Steam Machines out of the box.
The game still works on Linux :D , (Even GoG says its for linux)
It's starting to look nice!

Downloading via Steam right now. I just wonder, does it only make you play original Half-Life single player campaign co-op or are there dedicated maps for co-op? I have played Half-Life: Decay a year ago and it was beautiful.

Just don't expect anything too soon. Originally this was kickstartered in August 2013 with a scheduled release date of December 2013. Which slipped by 2.5 years, with the game now in EA, not finished.
Also, another recovering Pinball Dreams addict here, with a considerable lack of practice ;-)

wow great news. I have left this to the side, but usually keep an eye on the news and updates. My last fortresses were great, but having mined too much underground without supporting pillars, the whole thing collapsed, sending my computer in a coma.
I also remember trying to run a fortress on an eepc 701, with 512 gb of ram, and a puny processor, good times.
I wish that game would run on mobile phones.
