Quoting: Guest

Quoting: Segata SanshiroLOL the patch has made the game pretty unplayable. Everyone in the kingdom hates me and without the DLC it seems there's no easy way to get them to like me. Gifts and honorary titles only give half the points as they used to...

So Paradox gimps the game to force you to buy the DLCs, or is it an honest bug?

Didn't they do the same with Common Sense expansion for EU4?
There were many reviews and forum threads stating something like that: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Kaspa000/recommended/338163/ [External Link]

I've been waiting patiently for this. Best recipe for games published by companies with dlc diarrhoea: wait for a complete collection and buy it on the nearest sale. It's something different when devs release a complete product like Talos Principle or Dying Light, and then release a DLC that adds new quality and story - I don't mind buying the game right away and then the dlcs separately. But when someone turns dlcs into a business model and release a host of them on day one - my answer is to ignore the game until they release a complete package.

I am really excited for the expansion, though I was hoping for some new antagonist and in the video I'm seeing the old faces (Rais' men). Hopefully it will be something more than just a new map and the car.

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: pbthe thumbnails don't work and trying to install a game is futile.

These seem to work for Liam? Maybe you're missing some dependencies or something.

It does seem like a very early release with tons of missing functionality. Go ahead and add your issues to their github tracker [External Link] though. At least one guy seems to work on it very actively [External Link].

Maybe it works on Ubuntu but not on Debian? The .deb did not have any dependencies but maybe the program makes some assumptions.

Great that they made the client, but it seems like an early alpha so far. There's not way to filter out Linux games or do any sorting, the thumbnails don't work and trying to install a game is futile.

Quoting: liamdawe@pb, I tried that, but I get permission errors when trying to download in xterm.

Are you logged as user 'steam' and in /home/steam? I assumed that's where you land after starting xterm from Big Picture, but maybe it's not universal.

BTW now I noticed that you mentioned some script that already does most stuff which I mentioned in my post and even installs oracle's java - if I'm not wrong, after running that script you should be able to simply add Minecraft from settings -> add external app and it should work in BPM w/o problems. I wish I knew about that script rather than figure it all out by myself. ;-) But it's still useful as it may be used to add pretty much any other app - you only need to create a proper .desktop file for a game/app you installed and it should be easily addable and launchable from BPM.

How to get Minecraft on SteamOS in Big Picture mode:

0. I assume you already set up password for 'desktop' user, because 'steam' user doesn't have sudo rights.
1. Go to settings and find "Add external app" or something like that (sorry, writing from memory, feel free to correct the post) - and add XTerm
2. Go to library and launch XTerm
3. Download Minecraft.jar wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.jar
4. Create a 'minecraft' script
echo "java -jar /home/steam/Minecraft.jar" >minecraft
chmod 755 minecraft
5. Create a 'minecraft.desktop' file containing something along these lines:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Minecraft
Exec=minecraft
Icon=steam
Terminal=false
Type=Application
6. su to user desktop su desktop
7. Copy the files where they should go:
sudo cp minecraft /usr/bin/
sudo cp minecraft.desktop /usr/share/applications/
8. exit Xterm
9. go to setting and add Minecraft exactly the same way you added XTerm in #1

Notes:
- I used 'steam' icon for Minecraft because it's sure to be there and because I don't care much - feel free to use any icon you like, maybe there even are some official icons, no idea
- I had some weird text input problem in the launcher (couldn't type login/password) which I circumvented by copying my ~/.minecraft dir from laptop to steambox, so I was logged in automatically. Might be general SteamOS/BPM problem but might be specific to alchemist, or even my own system - please report back if you can confirm that.
- feel free to point any mistakes, I typed it all from memory and in a bit of a hurry, so there may be some typos or logical errors - hopefully not!
- standard disclaimer - test it out on your own responsibility, I won't refund any broken hardware :D
- forgot one thing: of course you have to install java first! I did it (sudo-ing from 'desktop' user) by adding debian repos to /etc/apt/sources.list and then apt-get install openjdk-8-jre or sth like that. Won't give specific instructions from memory though ;-)

[edit] changed 'code' to 'quote' - looks worse now but 'code' removed newlines for some reason.
[edit2] changed it back but puting every line separately, looks moderately good imo ;-)

Entered as well before reading this news. Oh well, if I win I can move to the UK for a day and have it shipped, right? ;-)

Yes, Gateways has more puzzles and is much harder from what I've seen in Shuggy so far - but both are fun!
