XCOM 2 released for SteamOS & Linux, port report included
8 Feb 2016 at 9:55 am UTC

Quoting: QuanTuMI preordered XCOM 2 and just bought the steam controller 40% reduced, you don't need to buy the bundle if you already have XCOM 2!
Your chance, it compensates for the ridiculous shipping costs!

Does anybody know how long this offer will last?
I wanted XCOM 2 and was curious about the Steam Controller, so that would be very nice,
on th eother hand, I'd like to wait for the patch...

Valve rep mentions they will eventually survey Big Picture & SteamOS
8 Feb 2016 at 9:41 am UTC

Quoting: khalismurTLDR? It is a survey and it is statistics.

Quoting: khalismurThe only question we can't answer is how representative the sample is.

It might e. g. be a bit biased towards Linux, because as a Windows user, I'd probably have opted out ("Why would I?!?" ), as a Linuxer, I'm happy when I get it and opt in ("Hey, let's support Linux!" ).

Croteam confirm The Talos Principle will be their first Vulkan title
6 Feb 2016 at 12:20 pm UTC

Quoting: wvstolzingHow is this a confirmation, though? It looks like they're just joking around.

"upcoming patch that will add Vulkan functionality:" “Soon.”
And they are stating the same on Facebook.

XCOM 2 released for SteamOS & Linux, port report included
5 Feb 2016 at 10:28 pm UTC

Quoting: zeb
Quoting: Renzatic GearI just looked at the recommended specs on Feral's website, and they're recommending the 355.63 drivers to play it on.
I asked Feral about this, because nvidia website does not list or provide any 355.63 driver. Same on their FTP server. I wonder if it is a typo for 352.63.

Maybe they updated 352 to 355 and forgot the part after the dot.

American Truck Simulator has an early release, day one for Linux
4 Feb 2016 at 2:29 pm UTC

Quoting: KeyrockI can definitely see not wanting to play this if I was a truck driver for a living, I sure wouldn't want to play a game of what I do 8 hours a day everyday.

Strangely, I was always laughing about farmers playing farming sims, metro drivers playing metro sims, ... and now I'm playing TIS-100 - so I'm programming in a game, which is what I do for a living as well. :D

Want to play XCOM 2? The system requirements for Linux & SteamOS have been sent out
4 Feb 2016 at 2:26 pm UTC

Quoting: chris200x9Edit: The Mac port works on AMD so there's nothing "wrong" with AMD's OGL code it's just Feral took shortcuts and can't be arsed with a decent Linux port.

Who did the Mac port?
