Serious Sam 3: BFE is now available on the Fusion 2017 engine with Vulkan
23 Jun 2017 at 10:00 pm UTC

I know Serious Sam 2 wasn't popular among PC gamers, but I played it at the time and enjoyed it as well. That's a little disappointing that they didn't try to update it as well...

Any idea?
You probably solved but in case you didn't... Are you using some non-standard glibc libs? 3rd party maybe? Try installing the stable one from Fedora repositories. The libstdc++6 [External Link] would be the right package for Ubuntu so maybe it's named something similar in your distribution. If you don't want to change your OS libraries just LD_PRELOAD it in app properties.
Yes I sorted it out by completely disabling the Steam runtime, but the game has some big graphical bugs in combat, too bad...
How do you disable Steam runtime?
You need to have this as command line option:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" %command%

It disables Steam Runtime for a single game. Very useful!

On Fedora, no problem getting it to work with libGLEW, but I've got the following error:

Any idea?

Seems the Linux version of Cossacks 3 is not a myth, as I now have access

Quoting: slaapliedjeLooks awesome, wish we could get another Myth style game though. I mean how many standard RTS games can one want?

For those that never played Myth, it plays much like an RTS, but you have a limited number of units per level, you can't just crank out new ones. All of the terrain (like it says in cossacks 3) is useful for determining tactics (place your archers up on a hill so they have further range, while your melee fighters run up to protect them), also your surviving soldiers gain ranks and skills, so you try harder to keep them alive.

I've found that most standard RTS games are just a matter of who can click faster, and knows the tech tree the best.
Then have a look at Deadhold [External Link]. It's made by mappers from the Myth community and it just feels like a spiritual successor. Oh and they're targeting Linux too!

...which explains why I saw you playing it last night! Nice to see that kind of notification popping up during my weekly Deus Ex fix!

Feral Interactive are teasing yet another Linux game
9 May 2017 at 9:07 pm UTC

The only fast paced FPS we can possibly get on Linux in coming years is UT4. Even on Windows, the genre has been pretty much abandoned for some time. I feel sad about it but that's the situation nevertheless...

Stellaris is the new early unlock for the Humble Monthly bundle

Quoting: Skudra
Quoting: iplaygameswearingatuxBought the April monthly for Dirt Rally, which was a disappointment due to its difficulty. Otherwise, the bundle seems OK. 4 out of the 6 surprise games are on Linux and have good reviews. But those are games I would never buy. Will try them out to see if I like them. :)
Same, bought April for Dirt, ended up too damn hard.
Been subscribed since january of this year, so far pretty good titles. Started to play that This Is The Police from this month's bundle and I LOVE it, will keep playing (like i have time for that :D)
As far as I am concerned, I just love that game so far. Just like both GRID Autosport & F1 2015, it strikes the perfect balance between taking risks and driving carefully.
