Quoting: liamdaweNote: You may have issues if you previously purchased them from bundles and other random stores. VP has reached out to Codemasters to add Linux to them.

New Steam sales are not affected and will download. So no need to hold off.

I just bought all three, I have the missing executable error for all three.

There was an article about this a while ago, but I believe that, if you buy it on Linux, and play it on Linux, it counts as a Linux sale. If you buy it on Linux, but don't play it on Linux, it reverts back to being a Windows sale.

Anyway, it seems to be working fine for me.

Quoting: liamdaweMade a new game, checked the skip into, start -> crash to desktop.

Guess I don't get to play it tonight then!

The Windows version occasionally has the same problem for me in wine. Closing the game and restarting it usually fixes it. I thought it was a wine bug, but maybe there's a bug in the game itself.

Welcome back! :D

I've put in 279 hours into Rust. Most of that was before procedural maps. After that update hit, Linux performance sank like a sack of shit. It was a lot better the last time I played it, but finding a nice server is difficult, and the standalone server for hosting your own is (was?) Windows-only for some bizarre reason. :/

To clarify, there's two playable game modes (and a third, non-playable mode):

* Adventure mode - A roguelike game where you play a character in your world, visiting towns/fortresses, exploring caves, doing quests, etc.
* Fortress mode - A city building-style game where you direct a team of dwarves to create a fortress. From mining and smelting metal ores, to creating and equipping a military force to repel goblin invaders.
* Legends mode - Contains all the generated world's history, so you can read about all the notable figures and artifacts that helped shape the world you live in. Your successes and failures in the game modes are also recorded here.

If you're not a fan of roguelike games, stick to fortress mode. It's still fun to visit your old, abandoned fortress(es) in Adventure mode though.

^ Set the PRINT_MODE to TEXT, install an ssh app on your phone, and run df in a tmux session. :D

It's not actually running on your phone, but it's as close as we can get right now. :P

Holy crap, someone just hammered my nostalgia button! Used to play this on the Secondary School LAN back in the day. Great game, but as the name suggests, it's very much co-op oriented. Will have to see if I can convince some people to play with me. ^_^
