Quoting: TheSHEEEPNow that the most important feature, animal petting, is in, maybe now they will have time to work on minor, unimportant stuff like.... F*CKING MOUSE SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I tried to play it. I even succeeded (well, as much as you can succeed until everyone goes mad).
But what a chore to play without mouse support.
I won't even take another look at it while this isn't in - which likely means I'll never take another look at it, I know.

It's had mouse support for over a decade. It's even enabled by default:

data/init/init.txt:
Change this to NO if you don't want to have the mouse involved at all.

[MOUSE:YES]

:P

Quoting: ExpalphalogAs someone who knows little-to-nothing about the "under the hood" parts of Linux, how likely is this to be working on Steam Play in the future? It's the only cross-platform game that my friends on the other side of the country play together and I would rather keep playing with them than get a refund.

However, if the outlook is not good, I would rather get my refund now then wait. Rip the band-aid off, as it were.

Not sure about DX11 and how well wine works with that.
Also as some have pointed out , if they implement Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) you can consider it dead. That cannot be run on Linux and attempts to do so may be seen as cheating and land you a ban.
Refund and if it works with Proton later get it back on a sale.
Only bad part you can only refund base game , not DLC and other stuff you may have bought.

Seems to be a few people in this topic getting the DLC refunded too. I assume any microtransactions can't be refunded though.

I initially got in touch to get a refund, but then I realised that I got the game free with my Steam controller, so there didn't seem much point continuing with that process.

Quoting: Luke_NukemHow many downvotes would be possible and how would that affect the rating on Steam? Something I'm super curious about now.

It doesn't matter, how mayn downvotes they receive through this, Steam implemented some kind of Ranking Protection in case of some "incidents" where due to a specific topic a game gets downvotes.
You can see this here:

The asterisk indicates that the Rating is filtered:

This is true, however Steam is currently reporting the game as having "mostly negative" recent reviews [External Link] (oddly, since there seems to be a lot more "positive" reviews from what I suspect are bot accounts).

Quoting: GoboI despise anyone who votes for Rocket League in the Linux Game of the Year Award, especially in the category "Favourite long-term supported game". Not only because of the ended support, but considering it took them years to release a Linux version. They kept teasing, promising and delaying for a long time.

It's also nominated in "Best update received in 2019".

I've removed it, it's no longer eligible to be in our awards.

I don't care either way (I last played in 2017), but the awards are for 2019, when it did support Linux. Removing their eligibility for 2019 awards due to decision announced in 2020 seems wrong?

The only two categories they were in were specifically targeting at supported games, they're removing said support. Absolutely no way they're staying in an award. It's not that difficult to understand.

Fair enough, at the end of the day it's your decision.

Due to the timing of this announcement I doubt they'd have gotten many votes anyway.

Just finished Black Mesa yesterday, and I love what they did with Xen. Especially regarding the Vorts.

The final fight with Gonarch was a pain in the arse though, I found the Nihilanth fight far easier (although it did get very overwhelming at times).

Much better awards than Steam's. Steam's are all Windows exclusives, bar one which has OSX support. :/

As far as projects go, this one was really easy to build. It's not really designed to be installed system-wide though (at least, not if you want to be able to save your games without messing around with the ownership/permissions of directories under /usr/share...)

I've made an AUR package here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openfodder-git/ [External Link]
