Humble Indie Bundle Android 2

The thing is that these were bugs _in the games_ not the drivers. But Nvidia and AMD doesn't follow the specs, so Mesa ends up taking the blame.

Quoting: "Xpander, post: 3760, member: 92"i guess open source drivers still the common issue for some games with more gaphical detail or features and also some sound problems that have been plagued linux quite some time.
i myself havent run into those tho. but i have been using prop drivers with my ati card when i had it and now with nvidia as well.

- Zen Bound 2 silently fails to start with Mesa drivers. You need to manually disable antialias in the game config. Considering that they asked for Linux beta testers and promised include Mesa devs with the beta testers this should have been caught and fixed.
- Still no fixes for Shank and Super Meat Boy. One needs to dig around in the bug tracker to find patches.
- Anomaly Warzone Earth from the first Android bundle is still broken. It was broken when it was first released (I could repeat the gripes about testing again here) and it's still broken in the latest update (which we waited a month for) with no word whatsover from the developers.

Nice, though I'm quite disappointed by the quality and support of the Linux ports from the bundles.

The "Kick it Forward" idea is pretty interesting:

So have many of you played the original Wasteland? I must admit that I only know of it as the precursor to Fallout.
It's been on my list of games to check out, but that list only seems to grow longer and longer.

Thanks!
I see they have even reaffirmed Linux support in an update:

Oh dear, I would have made a much better writeup if I knew it would be posted verbatim on the front page :oops:
Anyhow, the initial goal for $900 000 has already been reached. Just $600 000 to go for the Linux port.

It seems to have gotten some pretty mixed reviews, but I'm all for keeping an open mind until I can try it myself.
