Only one more game to go and we'll have as many games on Steam for Linux as the PS3!

Wow, I got a reply - that's in addition to the Civ:BE port... and apparently the count went up from two to seven:

So... was just going over the Aspyr "guess the secret game thread" and ran across this [External Link]:
I have a confession to make team Linux.

In addition to the super secret project that shall never be named;), there will be 2 more Linux projects coming from Aspyr over the next 6 months. One of them you dont know you love yet...the other, you already do.

Its going to be a great year for Linux and Mac gaming.

Mount & Blade: Warband Now In Beta For Linux

Quoting: hummer010
Quoting: GuestWorks nicely on Arch Linux 64 bit, GTX 660, with maximum settings. Alt-tab works in the menues.

Only problems I’ve noticed:
- ~/.mbwarband/ directory instead of ~/.config/mbwarband/
- thinks my keymap is qwerty
- infinite loop at exit, you have to kill the process.
I'm also on Arch 64-bit with nvidia (GTX765M), but I can't get the configuration utility to run. It crashes with a few "wrong ELF class" messages. Did you have to do anything special to get it to run?
I don't have this game, but you might try running "file <name of executable>" and "ldd <name of executable>" to see whether it's a 32-bit program and what libraries it needs.

Mount & Blade: Warband Now In Beta For Linux

Quoting: Fisherman
Quoting: OlpxexDon't buy it til the linux versin is out. Game will be credited to Windows, am I right?
No. You are not correct. http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/295cyy/mount_blade_warband_now_downloading_on_linux/cihy8rg [External Link]
It's probably a bigger deal for when the port is not done in-house, in that case the porting house might not be registered in Steam's system to receive the revenue. Personally, I'm waiting for official releases so that I know that I count correctly and the appropriate party receives the revenue.
