Quoting: X6205Is it possible also backup and restore Windows games in native linux client when they are compatible with new Steam Play? I have some Windows games backed up, for example Doom 2016. Can i restore from this backup to Steam client beta? I really don't want to re-download this game again under linux..
Works fine!

Mafia II should be playable. But it will either not render shadows, or render garbage instead of shadows. Gallium Nine have the same problem.

American Truck Simulator (and ETS2) are 70% off. I've been freeloading of the demo versions for a long time so I guess it's time for the full version.

Quoting: GuestI swear this had a demo for Linux

Maybe I'm thinking of a different game
Apocryph did have a build.

Quoting: EgonautThe Demo downloads 6.2GB for me but this is just the two first Tutorial missions, nothing more...

"All Steam users will be able to download The ICA Facility and the download includes absolutely everything that we’ve released for that location; two story missions (including all cut-scenes), two Escalation Contracts, more than 40 challenges, 17 achievements and trophies, plus thousands of player-created missions in Contracts Mode – all of that is now available completely free of charge."

Looks like there were problems and it has been delayed.

There was a demo button on the store page, but it only downloaded an empty directory for me.

Valve are looking to gather a list of games that don't work with radeonsi

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.

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.
