Welp, guess I'd best quickly inform them that the demo is completely non-functional on my machine, might delay the Linux port by a day or two.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTI really don't get what's your problem, guys. I installed really a lot of linux distros on different systems. The installation always worked except for one notebook - the RAM in that one had errors which caused kernel panics. Apart from that a little bit of finetuning was needed in some cases to get wireless working with some nottebooks. But for that case: Why don't you just by hardware which is known to work oob? If I want a windows system, I do buy windows compliant hardware. If I want a linux system I should do the same for linux.

With desktops I never had any problems. Including proprietary drivers for the GPU.

Most people just buy a Windows computer and install Linux on it afterwards, despite people like Tuxedo Computers, Entroware, ThinkPenguin, and ZaReason offering pretty awesome Linux PCs.

Personally I've never had any problems with partitioning, which might be because OpenSUSE uses magic in their partitioner.

Hey Liam, could you add Final Fantasy VIII and Dark Souls to your wishlist? Would be nice to have those two as well.

#FirstWorldProblems

I'll have to keep that in mind, as I've become nearly unable to work on a single-screen set-up ever since getting my KDE config just right.

How's it run?

Game crashed.

Thread "EoCApp" (1256347584)

Signal: 11

(0) /lib64/libpthread.so.0 : +0x10d60 [0x7fb94dd8ad60]

Haven't had time to look at it, but my first guess would be a library problem, so LD_LIBRARY might help.

I spy with my little eye standard tilesets. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just long for the days of Chrono Trigger/Final Fantasy VI/Seiken Densetsu 3, when 16-bit sprites were an artform.

I accidentally bought a non-Linux game, it had the Steam logo and I thought it meant SteamOS. But it was on the developer's website, so no.

Oh well, I could ask my money back, but it's an indie studio so I don't care.

Quoting: segulehNope. I`m the second :)

And I'm the third (AMD GPU user).

AMD rocks because their OS drivers are better than Nouveau, and their hardware is better than Intel.

Vote button for nethack on open source games is broken for me, network analyzer shows nothing. Running Firefox.

EDIT: Refresh fixed it, prolly JS silliness.

So much voting for Pillars of Eternity happened. Love it so much.

Quoting: NyamiouThis type of bug can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an eternity to fix, I hope it wont be an eternity.

At least someone here is familiar with software development. Seriously people, be glad they iron that kind of problem out instead of delivering a game that hard-locks your display driver causing a kernel oops or some such.

Having played my share of games with spotty Linux compatibility (original Linux release of Shadowrun Returns, anyone?) I'm grateful that we'll probably get a game that runs smoothly without a bunch of weird glitches making the whole experience an exercise in tedium.

EDIT: Note, I backed the game on kickstarter, so I've been waiting as long as anyone here.
