Hmh, not my favoured setting, though, I may buy and try it when it's released. Still undecided yet, I rather like to play on sides of Vampires (Bloddlines - that one I'd port personally if I could get the code).

I am more the guy for the surprise moment :D. Otherwhise I'll keep asking myself "Will it be soon?". The "maybe, maybe not" keeps me more relaxed.

By the way, since they noted that the new engine is "designed to support cross platform development better" I'd very much expect it to come at some point, and even natively (they need to go for OpenGL anyway in MacOS, and porting to Linux is grapically not too much challange after you did it for MacOS, and Valve is working closely with the devs to sort out troubles, according to the Aspire-Interview we read).

They still didn't say it's not coming, they just didn't announce it. The image actually suggests it will come later.

I'd guess Witcher 3 on a "real" Steam Machine launch.

Good to hear they've more ports to come. CivV is really an amazing game (I bought it on Linux, never played it before), and the implementation seems rock solid (have not yet seen bugs, crashes or similar).

If you're playing as Women char .. that game gets a lot harder to master.

Quoting: DrMcCoyYeah, there's no chance in hell this will ever happen.

I dare you to prove me wrong, GOG.

Why can't it happen? I don't really see any downsides for GOG.

There are governance implications, depending on the way and licensing.

Was looking for something good for quite a while now. Thanks for the tip (and thanks for the according arch package @Xpander)

Quoting: Deformal"Additional Notes: please note that you must install the proprietary Nvidia or AMD drivers. X-Plane will not run using Gallium or Mesa open-source drivers"
He-he. Developers don`t like open-source drivers too.:D

They are not on feature parity yet, and more unstable in the hard-3d context. It will need some time. I actually talked a few devs, and they'd like to embrace them more, but they're just not yet in a status to support them.

Quoting: abelthorneNo specific output when running Steam from a terminal. And not sure where I can find a log for the game.

But I've checked the Steam forum and the problem seems to be the ATI Catalyst driver. Looks like the game works with the free Mesa driver (has to be updated to Mesa 1.3, though) but doesn't with Catalyst. Which isn't a really big suprise...

What you get? A segfault? Freeze? Can you take a VOGL snapshot?

Quoting: edoFor some unknown reason I already have that game in my library :)

Because there's a free week-end going on. You'll have to buy it if you want to continue playing it after sunday (if you don't, it'll disappear from your library the same way it appeared).

Anyway, on my PC, the game doesn't even start. I have installed libaudio2 so that the setup runs but the game itself just gets stuck at launch, eating all CPU power...

Any output which could provide evidence?

I run it in Arch using Steam, no problem here, just runs good. Not sure if there are other methods of setting it up though... but if you provide evidence, I'll try to help.
