GRID Autosport released for Linux & SteamOS, port report, video and review included

Quoting: nIQnutnMy distro only likes stable but if it's only the nvidia driver, I'll install it soon.
I'm running Debian stable as well, but with the nvidia drivers from "experimental":

I'm giving no guarantee that this won't f**k up your system, obviously, but it works for me and if you need help on this, I could provide that on weekend.

The method is like the one I used to install Steam on Wheezy:

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

Quoting: lucifertdarkI still haven't got past the first mission on Enemy Unknown, I just never have the time to sit down & really get to grips with it & now they've got a second on the way.
I 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?

Quoting: chrisqAs much as I've been waiting for this game I can't help but being a bit disappointed of the price.

It has been on sale several times the last few months at 75% off and basically for free on Humble Bundle.
To top this off the feral store, where I'd like to buy it, are selling it for close to 50% higher price than the complete package on Steam...

I will certainly get it, it just bad paying Euro 70 for something that will go for ~$10 in a few weeks at xmas sale.
Same here. :-(
Was refraining from sales and Humble Bundle to support them with a Linux sale - for a sales price, not for 40€.

Quoting: Eikemake the editor not crash on load and save project under non-GNOME environments
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 will try that on weekend. Yesterday I only found time to do a quick crash report:

I just cannot find the existing report anymore where several people with other DEs than Gnome couldn't use the Linux editor. :-/

Thanks for making the editor available for Linux by the way. I'm not sure I'm creative enough to make a cool game, but I for sure would love to give it a try.

Quoting: OZSeafordOne question I would have though, oblivious of platform, what games would you have waited for in general, windows games that is? Are there hundreds?
For me, I really miss Fallout 4 and the next Elder Scrolls (and today a colleague told me again that I should play "Brothers - a Tale od two Sons").

Quoting: OZSeafordPersonally, I find that the output of games coming out is too big for me to follow, and I have plenty on my plate.

Whether that is enough to convert someone coming from Windows?
I've got more than enouhg to play as well, but for the other question... Why would he? Even if we would have all games from Windows, which will never happen because noone will port all those old games, there still needs to be some other reason to change.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLWell, if in a country ruled by socialists who control it in a socialist EU
Utter nonsense. Socialist parties in the sense of what Poland and the GDR had are illegal in Germany. And the conservative party is the biggest part of the government coalition.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLwe in Poland already change government and now is much better but old government very complains to the socialists in the EU as a new government is bad, but it's not true.
By changing the supreme court on day one? You may want to ask Andrzej Zoll about that. If I would be religions (which I'm not), I'd pray for Polands democracy, which they fought hard for in the 80ies.

But this is off-topic here, I won't answer anything except if you care to write in private.

Quoting: EikeSo Tak is the one to beg to to make the editor not crash on load and save project under non-GNOME environments?

Pretty pleeeease...? :whistle:
Eh, works for me on i3wm.
It unfortunately crashes for several people. I can search for the bug report when I'm home and can google for the exact error message. AFAIR it was not one of these because the bug report page had someone tell they're not using GNOME:

Same in Germany, it seems. But it's not my cup of coffee anyway.

Quoting: TheBossAs for Bioshock, it's nothing to do with EON, the config file being edited by people is an engine file Bioshock uses. It also has the same issues on Windows FYI.
Bioshock Infinite had stutters on my system even after modifying the ini with Linux on my box which it did not have on the very same box (even with less memory back then) with Windows when I still used it. I so much wanted to buy the extension but refrained from doing so.
