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 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.I had the same impression but gave it a google try. As said, I didn't test it.
And yeah, I played ironman on my first play through, though on normal difficulty.

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.

Unity 5.3 released, hello modern OpenGL system for Linux gaming

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!

Quoting: TakThanks, I finally managed to get a file dialog! X)Quoting: Eikemake the editor not crash on load and save project under non-GNOME environmentsFrom 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.

Quoting: lucifertdarkAh, ok... I guess I cannot bolster you up here - it will take much time to play through it. Though it's totally worth it.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 .

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:

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.
