Valve are looking to gather a list of games that don't work with radeonsi
9 Jan 2017 at 8:32 pm UTC

Quoting: jsa1983Any chance offending games may be reported through other channels other than tweeter?

Steam forum? Mail?

I've got a few of them:

- Crookz
- Grand ages: Medieval
- Dying Light (compatibility profile)
- Dead Island (except for the Ryder campaign, which surprisely works fine)
See the wiki page in the original post, I'm sure Liam can send it to Valve later.

As for the games, make sure that you actually report bugs upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org [External Link]

I see no entries at all for Crookz or Grand Ages there. Mesa devs can't fix bugs they aren't aware of.

Torchlight now available DRM free for Linux on the Humble Store

If it is the same build, mouse support is probably broken out of the box for most users, (see end of thread here: http://forums.runicgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=33360&start=60#p474739 [External Link] )

Grass Simulator Fully Released With Linux Support

Agreed, I am slightly disappointed.

I was hoping for a simulator where you can plant different kinds of grass, fertilise, water and then watch it grow (in real time!).... *sigh* maybe that's the game I was destined to make.

Unreal Tournament Has Come A Long Way, New Beautiful Map Included

The crash is actually specific to the r600g driver, and not a problem with Mesa in general. I have tried several of the UE4 demos and UT with i965 (Intel) and it seems to be working fine. Sure, it's a bit slow, but it definitely works.

Hope the problem with r600g isn't too hard to fix, would be interesting if anyone tried it with radeonsi or nouveau.

The Bard's Tale Release For Linux On Steam
14 Oct 2013 at 12:29 pm UTC

Quoting: Quote from ApopasSo I suppose the pack contains all four games?
Pretty interesting.
Yep, all included.

The game was also gifted to all backers of Wasteland 2 (or was it Torment?) so don't buy it if you already have a Steam code.

Servers seems overloaded all the time, anyone have a mirror for the file?

Egosoft plans new Linux ports for X3

Yep, let's hope they plan on bringing back X2 and port their new titles as well.

(Also yay for me for finally finding news to post! :D )

Steam big picture from login!
15 Nov 2012 at 5:43 pm UTC

I guess I fail to see why creating a couple of crappy debian packages for a couple of lines of shell script just to launch the steam executable with a special switch is something to cheer about, or why it needs a github page.

Then again, the omgbuntu page has loads of comments, so I guess it's just me be old and outdated.

Steam's Linux list is growing

I wonder how hard one would have to twist the arms of id Software for them to get on that list? (And I'm not even thinking about Rage...)
