This was the first time I realized that nearly all BIG Linux games seem to come from 2K or Valve itself.
It seems it's not a great variety of publishers that supports our favorite system...

Quoting: Stupendous ManI just bought this game in the sale without knowing much about it, and man, is it a good-looking game! Not just that, it runs very well

You're yet to see the best of it: the Story!

Quoting: Linux223Unfortunately it is to do with the port. UE3 is capable of running 64 bit. Feral have ported games on UE3 which are 32bit on Windows across to 64bit on Linux.

You cannot blame the port for not making it better than the original.

Quoting: Linux223It is NOT a hard task... Unless it is wrapped like this VP junk that does not build native from source.

Are you a software developer? Because, I am, and porting to 64 bit very well can be a hard task.

Quoting: Linux223This still seems a bad port.

No 64 bit support...

As far as I know, it is a 32 bit application on Windows as well (unfortunately), so this has nothing to do with the port.

Quoting: dsngjoeI am so sad. Was ready to jump on today and play it! Unfortunately there is a bug if your running the game on a XFS partition. I tried to copy the game to a ext4 partition and making a symbolic link but that didn't work. VP posted on the Steam forums that they are aware of the issue and going to issue a patch for it. :( Now need to wait.

But copying should totally work! Copy to EXT partition, do not have a symlink, deinstall on XFS, then install on the place you've already copied it to. Steam should take some thinking time, but finally decide that it does not have to download anything.

I gave it a run on my machine, Debian Wheezy + extras, GTX660, driver 340.65-2, Intel 3570 quad core, 8 GB.
"DefaultPCBenchmarkMap.xcmap -unattended" yields, from what I've seen at the Steam FPS display, at least 49 fps (up to > 100) at "High" quality and at least 33 at "Very High".
I see that with mixed feeling. The wrapper might cut it - which would leave me feeling as second class citizen.

Quoting: davidjosephaI technically dual boot, although I can't remember the last time I booted into Windows. Might be over a year, now. My Windows and Linux installs are on different SSDs, so at any moment, I might just clear off the Windows SSD and use it for something else. I keep it around, mainly, because I don't have any use for the SSD, so it's probably more work to not have Windows than to keep it around.

I had the same - and dedicated the ex Windows SSD for Linux games!

Quoting: XzylGame maybe racist.

Not at all. It shows racists - but you are fighting them.

Ups, I forgot that part...

The movement part is trivial, and for those that find even trivial to hard, there is - never seen such before - an autojump option so you won't miss jumping at the right moment. So it's all about puzzling.
