Quoting: fleskI'm also having the crash on launch with Nvidia graphics that is mentioned in the article, and I have no idea how to enable Vsync. :huh: The game works well with Intel graphics though, although only on low graphics settings, which doesn't look all that great. Still enjoying the game a lot so far though, and I've just gotten into the city.

It's should be a clearly labelled option in the main menu.

But when it crashes on launch, how do you even get to the menu to enable it?

Quoting: fleskEDIT: It seems like the additional 10% discount is only applied if you bought Broken Sword 5 from Steam, and not if you got a key for backing the Kickstarter campaign. I'm not sure if that's working as intended or not, but for me it's totally worth it anyway for a game I've been wanting to play for years.

I see 20% in store, but the extra discount is applied in cart. Final price is 20.99€ for me. My BS5 came in the Humble Classics Return Bundle, so buying from Steam shouldn't be a requirement.

I won't buy this yet, but I definitely will when I've played through some of the adventure games in my backlog.

According to my purchase history, I paid 198.40 NOK, which is only 20% off the full 248 NOK, so I guess the problem is with Kickstarter keys for Broken Sword 5 specifically.

I thought it was coming out tomorrow, and I'm just about to watch a football match. :cry: I guess I'll have to stay up late tonight.

They've now announced that Community Recommendations has officially shipped as part of Steam, giving you ideas to play based on recent reviews. I was told by Valve press on this, that it should be getting patched to respect your Platform Preferences (bottom here) to only show games from operating systems ticked.

I just tried it and I had only recommendations that actually are available for Linux.

I also only get Linux recommendations in the community recommendations list. The more interesting interactive recommender, however, still shows me a a ton of Windows games though. :sad:

Quoting: fleskWasn't Hello Neighbor supposed to get a native Linux version at some point?

Not that we've ever written about, we did contact them before on it and Secret Neighbor but we got a no to both of them with the line of "if we do Linux, there will be an announcement". Originally, Hello Neighbor had a crowdfunding campaign which mentioned Linux but it failed hard sadly so it looks like Linux and Mac were cut when they didn't get funding and then tinyBuild picked it up later.

Thanks for the information. :smile: Turns out that's what I was thinking of, as I found out we covered it in The Funding Crowd #52 and #53.

Can't wait! I have the whole month off from work, so hopefully I get to play through both this and Desperados III (depending on when that's out).

Wow, Tetrobot is in it! I wonder why he doesn't have the drill though, as that would probably be pretty handy in a fight. I'm guessing Psychobot will be his minion, although he's supposed to be microscopic, so that might not be very spectator friendly.

I've been completely obsessed with Shadow Tactics lately, and have just gotten to that heart wrenching moment towards the end of the game. Totally didn't expect that from a game like this, and I'm really looking forward to picking up Desperados III once it's available for Linux.
