Well, don't be happy too quickly. Remember for example what Slighty Mad Studios made with Project CARS and many others did the same thing. Crowdfunding folks consider Linux users like pigeons, and that's sad. :'(

Quoting: Maweki I am German and there are a lot of games that have a problem with comma being the decimal point in my locale. Often enough, even recent Unity games, save floating point data locale independent and parse them locale dependent, leading to crashes, bugs, and corrupted saves.

It's easy enough. Just use Double.Parse with the current locale as separate parameter. It's not magic. I think I've added LC=C_ALL as a environment variable to about half of all Steam games I play.

Same here, I'm French and for quite a lot of games (at least 10 / 20% I had to add LANG=C before the command to launch the game. Examples include Anna Extended edition, and so on. Most of the affected titles are indie.

Quoting: rkfgSTASIS is suffering from this right now. The engine needs newer libstdc++.so.6 than provided in SteamOS so it doesn't start there. So another advice: check your dependencies on older distros if possible and either ship the libs with the game or link them statically if you can.

I confirm this point : statically linking the game so that it does not have any dependency out of the steam environment is mandatory to me, as even with Debian (which is the basis of both SteamOS and Ubuntu) there are problems from time to time, even though they're frankly rare (maybe one or two games gave me issues).

I didn't, as I play in windowed mode, and running the 32 bits flavour is fine for me in that case... (my distro is AMD64 anyway)

This game looks great, but last time I tried I had to launch the 32 bits executable of the game from the command line. The 64 bits flavour does not work at least on Debian Stretch (and it is a known issue, which will be fixed for release I hope).

To be honest given the state TW2 was released (and as of now it is the only VP port I have which crashes so much, even Bioshock Infinite with its memory leaks is not so crash prone) they should have marketed it as alpha and everyone would have understood. If you compare it with Arma 3 which is absolutely a stunning port everyone would have understood.

So clearly yup the community was disrespectul and has members to blame, but VP has also some responsibility at marking as "stable" something which was probably not even tested (I remember that at some time I could not even move the character... and the pad leads TW2 to crash...)

But now if they could release TW3 (I can support if necessary for bug reporting just the same way I do w/ Feral titles) it would be great.

Sad, that's true.

Now for me even after numerous fixes TW2 was very crash prone, especially when plugging in an XB 360 pad. But now VP ports are really fine, so it would be nice TW3 gets released.

Quoting: GuestSlightly Mad Studios (Project Cars) are apparently located in West Norwood…

Yikes, that actually sounds like a plausible theory. But yeah... I hope you're wrong. :D

Unlikely to be a SMS game, frankly speaking.

Maybe Dishonored, because Dunwall is inspired from London. But Bethesda is anti Linux...

Quoting: GuestCan you check that you have libgl1-nvidia-glvnd-glx installed, and try installing it not?

You rock guys ! Actually installing the glvnd variant fixed the issue. Thanks for the tip, I notified Feral about it. :-)
