Sci-fi single-player survival game Planet Nomads is currently pretty broken on Linux

I haven't played it since they reneged on the multiplayer promise, thus limiting it to being yet another lacklustre single-player resource collecting and base-building game. It's a shame, because it could've been a great game to play with friends, competing or collaborating to create communities.

Battle Royale game Crazy Justice just had an update to the closed beta, we have keys to give away

Bah, it hard codes qwerty controls, so it's basically impossible for me to play on a dvorak keyboard. :(

I'll see if there's a config file somewhere.

EDIT: There is a config file ~/.config/Epic/CrazyJustice/Saved/Config/LinuxNoEditor/Input.ini
But it is empty by default, and gets overwritten with an empty file when you start the game, sooooo.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The excellent rogue-lite 'Streets of Rogue' now actually has an ending

As per the city’s remarkably ill-thought-out rules, whoever has the Mayor’s Hat and makes a speech at the podium gets to be the mayor.
Hah, that's a perfect fit for this game.

I had a lot of fun with this. I'll definitely be jumping back in and trying to get to the actual end. It's definitely easier with a group of people, since ghosts can be resurrected so long as you have funds.

What are you clicking on this weekend and what do you think about it?

I'll mostly be playing Two Point Hospital, Graveyard Keeper, Mass Effect(P).

TPH: I'm on the third hospital now, and I'm just getting in to the training stuff. I'm enjoying it.

GK: I'm stuck on so many quests until I can get gold star beer. But I can't get hops because the miller won't sell them until "tomorrow", which never seems to come. Other than that, grind grind grind grind.

ME: Done most of the side quests now, so I'm off to confront Benezia.

Quoting: notinuse
Quoting: WorMzyI've been playing Mass Effect using Steam Play. For the most part, it's worked well. There have been a few crashes, but I think that's probably just the game rather than Proton.
Did you have to do anything special to make audio work? When I run Mass Effect using Steam Play, the intro audio works, and then the game is quiet.
Yeah, there's an asound override you need to do in winecfg: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40898 [External Link]

After that, sound works fine. For my system I had to run winecfg with the following prefix:
WINEPREFIX=/media/steam-ext4-fast/steamapps
compatdata/17460/pfx winecfg
you'll need to adjust your your setup.

I'm also playing The Long Dark and Two Point Hospital natively on Linux. Long Dark is always good fun, and Two Point is a very familiar-feeling game. I've only completed the first hospital so far, getting it to three stars, but I'm having a great time with it.

I don't think having a steam-dedicated question is a good idea. Better merging it with the existing wine question, changing the wording so it's clear that steam-play and wine are, for the purpose of the survey, the same thing. That way, if (for example) gog start wrapping games in wine (do they do this already?), there won't be an argument for adding another "do you use..." question.

Basically, I think it's better to have one question regarding wine-based play, than potentially dozens.

A developer from Bohemia Interactive wants to know your interest in the Arma 3 Linux port

I've watched Samsai play this a few times, and it looks quite cool. If there was an officially supported port, I'd be happy to buy it, but I won't buy something which is quite openly experimental and may disappear the next day.
