Quoting: ricki42'Knights' sounds like 'nights' and 9 is 1001, so '1001 Nights' = 'Knights of the Nine'!

... in binary! :D

Quoting: metro2033fanboySIMPLE WORKAROUND for the mod hanging issue:

Rhemus  Vor 5 Stunden
Hello,
I've found a simple workaround for the problem. Just copy the entire content of the "steamapps/workshop/content/x//y" (the place where the mod is) to "steamapps/common/Knights of the Old Republic II/steamassets". And that fixed it for me - running latest mint.
I ran the kotor process with strace but the resulting file was too big to properly analyze - but I noticed that there were few ENOENT errors so I figured might aswell copy the files over.

Hope that helps in finding the proper fix.

Best Regards

Thanks. Had problems getting the mod to work before this.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleOk... 1001 as binary converted to decimal is 9.

It's Elder Scrolls: Oblivion! From the Steam page:
"included in the Game of the Year edition are Knights of the Nine..."
'Knights' sounds like 'nights' and 9 is 1001, so '1001 Nights' = 'Knights of the Nine'!
Please be true!

Quoting: mboucharPlayed a long time ago when Steam didn't exist, so I just bought it.

I played for about 2 hours. I experienced a lot of crashes in the prologue, I think when using the menu. There are also missing textures sometimes when switching levels (everything is black except for the character models). I have to alt-tab out of the game and back in to restore the textures.

I really enjoy the widescreen resolution. I tried KOTOR 1 recently, and I can't play with that 4:3 resolution...

Strange in my case works, stay played all prologue and works without crash

Sonic and the Secret Rings was based on "A thousand and One Nights", but it was on the Wii. So what about Sonic Generations?

Quoting: ZekThePenguinLooks like Starbound skinned for high fantasy. First, we see a bunch of Minecraft knock-offs, now people are doing the same thing in 2d? WHY?

As other said, Terraria came first, and it's also a finished game. Starbound is not.

Quoting: Beamboom@melkemind: May I remind you of Ferals own comment here:

Quote"Somehow" is definitely the key word here. You're all so good at figuring these things out that we decided to make this one ridiculously tricky...6

So if anything, I'd say the safest guess of ALL is that this hint has nothing whatsoever to do with "A Thousand and One Nights" or theories directly related to that. We have to look wider!

... But where? Now that's anyones guess :)

The Elder Scrolls?

Following on from someone else in this thread's theory... is it the upcoming "Lara Croft: Rise of the Tomb Raider"?

Quoting: musojon74Excellent. Sadly I already bought this ages ago so can't register a Linux sale. Could gift I guess but whilst can purchase on Linux, if I gift it'll probably be played on windows.

According to what we know of the Steam process of accounting sells to OSs, you probably could buy it under Linux, wait for some weeks and then gift it.

Quoting: gojulTo be honest I'd really prefer they release something or at least give us a status about Shadow of Mordor. (technical issue ? ...) Hey Feral, don't tease, release !

How about teases and releases? :D See, it's not a case of "tease or release" it's a case of "tease or not tease". And this is really fun. One of you was getting sooooo close to unravelling the clue yesterday...

Quoting: BeamboomWaaaait a second: Could this be related to the recent finding in Birmingham? 'Oldest' Koran fragments found in Birmingham University?

Ergo this has more to do with Birmingham, or libraries, than the Koran or islam?

The original image from Feral was a scan of "A Thousand and One Nights," which predates the advent of Islam, so it's not directly related to the Qur'an or Islam. If it is related to anything Arabic or Persian though, any game about the Middle East (including Assassin's Creed) or Central/South Asia is a possibility. Many say the original story came from India or Persia rather than Arabia. But that's probably too easy of a guess. I'm sticking with the Witcher 3 because I want it more. :)

This is not true. The image posted by Feral is from the Islamic era, well after the advent of Islam. Also, the "A Thousand and One Nights" book is a collection of folklore tales that predates Islam, but collecting them into one book with this specific name happened in the Islamic era. However, none of this has anything to do with the Koran. I am guessing the game in question is Prince of Persia.

I didn't say the manuscript predated the "Islamic era." I meant the stories from it did (many of them, anyway).

Quoting: mboucharI still have the texture bug when loading a new level, but it is easily fixed.

An example of entering a new area:


After alt-tabbing out and in game:


Also, the star count in the background seems a little big high, but I don't remember if it was the same background in Windows.

I experienced more crashes while playing, so I looked at the console log to find if something was wrong with my setup and found that I had the following bug :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84372

I had already updated my Kubuntu 15.04 install with Mesa 10.6 to fix a bug while playing Valkyria Chronicles through Wine, so I updated my kernel to 4.1.3 and the intel driver to 2.99.917. Now, the crashes are fixed (I replayed the prologue successfully).

I still have the texture bug when loading a new level, but it is easily fixed.

I wanted so much to play this game the last few days but I wanted to wait fo a Linux release. Looks like my patience was well rewarded :D. I mean, I knew it was coming soon, but not that soon.

I'm very happy this game got ported, IMO it is a must-have on Linux and any other platform.

I would have bought the game but sadly I already did that since before I even considered Linux... :( And all of my friends that I want to play this game with, already own it. :(

Also, I really don't get why people say that Terraria is a copy of Minecraft but 2D... IMO the games are very different (and by that I mean more that the 2D/3D stuff). For me the gameplay feels completely different. I mean yeah, you mine and you craft, maybe build cool stuff, but Terraria also has a TON of diversity, item hunting, boss hunting, events etc. They have simmilarities but they are still very different.
Anyway, nowdays all games that allow you to build stuff are called Minecraft copies for some reason.

Quoting: KeyrockBat**** insane theory #1:

QuoteA promise is a promise! Here’s a cryptic teaser for an unannounced Mac/Linux game. It’s tricky. Real tricky. Enjoy!

Tricky is the name of a classic Run DMC song, more importantly, it had a music video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-O5IHVhWj0

At the beginning of the video there are a couple of guys scamming a woman with 3 Card Monte. You may recognize these two individuals as the famed magic/comedy duo Penn &amp; Teller (long before the peak of their fame). Teller's act is that of a mime, he never speaks, which is reminiscent of Harpo Marx of the Marx Brothers who also was a mime as part of his comedy act. Marxism had a great influence on the molding and rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The game is Wolfenstein: The New Order or The Old Blood. :P

Oh man that was pure poetry. A masterpiece. Magnificent.

... And a great game too. So let's hope you nailed it!

Quoting: chrisqGOG really needs to get the Galaxy client going, steam has made me lazy.
Installing and updating games manually just seems like such a chore now.

When the manual way is kept there should be no problem. From my side there is no need to get a client for this and I want update the software myself whenever needed.

KOTOR's are amongst all time top 5 fave games of mine. Completed both with much passion and enthusiasm back then.

Will wait until purchasing because of those bug and mod issues, though.

Well, they did say it's an unannounced title. Considering the SteamOS game announcements, it can't be Total War: Atilla, Company of Heroes 2, Evolve (well, it was pseudo-announced by being hidden), or Witcher 3.

My guess is on Alien: Isolation as well since it popped up on SteamDB not too long ago. Though I'm sure it will be good regardless of what it is.

Though, as usual, I hope to see some Japanese developed games someday. AFAIK, we have 0 AAA quality ones. Would be nice to see Final Fantasy 7 Remake or Street Fighter IV / V. Also, with the Tales of Symphonia remaster (well, sort of remaster) coming to Windows, I would love to revisit that classic JRPG to see what they improved on.

Quoting: Keyrock

Quoting: NyamiouThat was easy. There is a book called "1001: Video Games You Must Play Before You Die", on the back cover there is Lara Croft. It's a Tomb Raider!!!

The reboot? Ugh. I mean it would be a great get for Linux as it's a big name game and very popular, but I hated that game with a passion.

Hmm, don't think it has anything to do with Tomb Raider.

The upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider is XBox exclusive (at least for quite some time) and the current one is already available for Mac and, thus, does not fit the hint related to an unannounced Linux and Mac port.

Personally I loved the reboot. For Lara was written and looked like an actual woman this time. Well, the story was good in general. Also, the game was very accessible for someone like me, who otherwise isn't a fan of (or even good at) platformers, so that was a plus.
