Quoting: fleskI haven't had any technical issues with this one though.
I'm yet to find the first Unity game that does not work on my system...

Quoting: ziabiceSo if I had to choose betwen the XBox 360 controller and the Steam Controller, the latter is actually the best choice? Even if I dual boot or use WINE for some games?
I didn't try the Steam Controller yet, but I guess I would choose the Xbox 360 controller for my gaming PC corner, because I've got mouse and keyboard there, but I would try a Steam Controller for the living room, where mouse and keyboard don't have their place.

The new XCOM 2 trailer has me extremely excited for the Linux port

Quoting: Stupendous ManDo mods work in linux? I was under the impression they didn't, especially the Long War mod. However, I see the link you posted is for the Linux version, so I'll give it a try.
And yeah, I played ironman on my first play through, though on normal difficulty.
I had the same impression but gave it a google try. As said, I didn't test it.
Iron man was my second successful play through. I guess I'm not the best at strategy, but I had loads of fun.

Quoting: Stupendous ManStill, I kind of want to play the first one some more, I 'only' have 100 hours in it and wouldn't mind another play through.
If you already did Ironman, you might try Long War.
Didn't test the installer, but they say the mod is great.

From what I've seen, this has been a Gtk theme issue for the people who are experiencing it. You may have better luck if you try a different/standard Gtk2 theme.
Thanks, I finally managed to get a file dialog! X)

I installed kde-config-gtk-style to access gtk configuration with KDE means.
It was set (defaulted to?) mimic KDE style.
I had to change the theme, away from "oxygen-gtk" to e. g. "Adwaita", as well as the icon set, away from "Oxygen" to e. g. "Human" or "GNOME". None of the changes helped on its own, but both together did.

I've added the information to my crash report as well (https://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?752348_h2u0eet2qa350ie5 [External Link]).

Thanks for your help!
(Did you know that "tack" is the Swedish word for "thanks"? ;) )

Quoting: leillo1975The game is playable in Low settings, but better in Very Low.
I guess we can conclude it does make use of 4 cores? :)

Quoting: EikeI like the game very much, played through it on Windows, and when it got ported to Linux I bought Enemy Within and played through in permadeath mode. But when you say you cannot get a grip on it - maybe it's just not your cup of tea?
No it's not that, there's just not enough hours in my days to really give this game the time it needs for me to get anything out of it, I love the older games in the series & played them to death when they first came out .
Ah, ok... I guess I cannot bolster you up here - it will take much time to play through it. Though it's totally worth it.
