Quoting: TheBossI really don't get DLC hate. It's how developers are able to keep games going for so long. Most games have DLC now and the GOTY edition is cheap.

Will livestream when i have eaten and got to grips with it.

I dont hate DLC. I own Civ V which is ~30€ with all DLC and I don't dislike it at all.

But Payday 2? That's too much. The GOTY doesn't include all DLCs -- that's why it's that cheap.

And then micro-transactions too!
They *do* make faar enough money eith Payday, it's not as they're poor guys. But instead of making a *sane* amount of monetization they turned it into a cash-cow.


They always pose as a "small-scale" "indie" studio while they're not. They have grown and are definitely earning enough to work w/o that much paid content.

I have quite some DLCs for Payday but at some point I stopped and considered the huge mass of DLC to be too much.

Quoting: nifkerAs long as Wayland is not crossplatform compatible I won't support it.

You mean support for BSD as well as Linux?

So, I turned off my second smaller monitor, Payday 2 now detects 4K resolution. Turned smaller monitor back on, still fine.

Looks like they have some issues to sort, but it was a simple enough solution for now.

Just to clear things up about the dlc and micro-transaction stuff as an ex-windows user who played it in the long long ago.

Overkill made a very public comment about how they will never put micro-transaction in their game. Now it's in there in the form of TF2/CSGO crates you need to unlock with drills(keys) that cost real world fun bucks. This is the main sore point for many major fans.

With the DLC Overkill made quality missions but lately I've noticed that they have gone a bit over board with the amount that there is but maybe thats just me. Also! You don't "need" the DLC, if you join a room where someone already has the DLC and starts the mission you can join in just fine.

Hope that clears some of it, but I'm super happy to see this title come to linux!

Guess, I'll have to wait a little bit more :(
That's because you are trying to execute the windows version.
You have to re-download it again.

Trying to mess with the settings.

The multi-monitor support is a bit pants.

It displays on the 4K monitor I have in a tiny 1080p section of the screen, the rest is black. No option to go higher than 1920x1080 resolution.

Quoting: wolfyrionI thought that the GOTY Edition would be the whole game but I guess I was wrong...

However dlcs doesn't have the tux icon.

So are all these DLC's required :o?

Yeah, I have the same question - does the Linux version support the GoTY DLC packages, since they don't have the tux icon? I guess we'll find out when TheBoss livestreams later.

Lucky You, I got the first for free, but no port in sight.

Total 30 Dlc's ---> 30 Euro +

GOTY Edition has 14 DLC's plus the game --> 11 Euro +

However dlcs doesn't have the tux icon.

Stardew Valley developer says Linux is a top priority, woohoo
By Mountain Man, 21 March 2016 at 6:46 pm UTC

I really like Rune Factory 4 for the Nintendo 3DS, so despite my cynicism I am very much interested in this game. I understand the combat isn't quite as sharp and engaging as Rune Factory 4, but you apparently have a lot more options for customizing your farm in Stardew Valley. However, Rune Factory 4 is going to be hard to beat. It's a really cool hack and slash RPG and a really cool farming/life sim, two disparate genres, yet it excels at both.

I hate games without campaign (except "CS: GO", which has the nostalgia factor).
But it is good to see more games coming.

I liked the game but stopped when they did micro-transactions. They have lessened it a bit but still, I don't like them selling *that* many DLCs + micro-transactions. I do doubt that they need the money so bad that they really have to go that far tbh.
I have nothing against a few DLC but this is too much.

Shows up in the library but when I install it I get no download, it just creates an empty folder and says, "hey it's installed now!"

I tried deleting and reinstalling, verifying game cache, and restarting Steam. Nada!


Edit:

Quoting: zebIs this still valid for this new driver? The new version should have fixed this issue, plus the XCOM 2 regression. I have not tried it yet.
I didn't see a fix mentioned in the changelog, feel free to test it and correct me if it's no longer necessary as I'm posting from my phone. I was using that work-around for Team Fortress 2...
