The impressive first-person metroidvania puzzler "Supraland" now has Linux support

Quoting: liamdaweSteam should download and overwrite it with the native version, unless you force Steam Play. If it was a whitelisted title, Valve would need to remove it from their whitelist (I know this from experience with another game).
Thank you. I will make a backup of the save file before launching steam.

Finished it via Proton a few weeks back. A few performances issues but it's a really good game. Probably the best first person puzzle game since Portal 2 and definitely one of my favorite games of the year so far.

Anyone has any idea how steam will react as I have the windows binaries installed? First time for me that a game goes from steam play to native.

Saints Row IV now available on SteamOS and Linux

I did some more testing and it's really bad.

Core i7 4790k
GTX 770

At 1920x1080 on ultra I get between 30 and 50 fps. I'm playing with my save file at the end of the game with every power unlocked. When I'm moving it's more often close to 30 than 50. It's unplayable by my standards.

On the same computer and with the same configuration and save file I tried the game on Windows 7 and I get 70-100 fps.

It's working now. Performances are bad. The frame rate is ok ish but dropping like crazy when I move my character around the world.

Quoting: DefTorchlight 2 performances are really bad :(
Bloom is the culprit. Without it the fps counter is always above 100 in areas where it was below 20.

Torchlight 2 performances are really bad :(

Around 100 fps most of the time but it goes below 20 fps in some areas on max settings with a GTX770 (proprietary drivers) and a Core i7 4790K.

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered pops up on Amazon, has a Tux on the cover

I'm surprised to read so many good things about this game. The gameplay is as bad as it possible to be and the story is beyond stupid. That and it totally failed to deliver the story with multiple paths it promised to give.

Probably wishful thinking but it reminds me of the Hound Pits in Dishonored.

The Witcher 2 Gains Yet Another Performance Beta
14 Aug 2014 at 6:09 pm UTC

Core i7 4790K + GTX770.
With high settings the frame rate is averaging around 50 fps and doesn't seem to go under 40. Not that good for my computer but finally playable.

By the way I still have crazy input lag with v sync enabled.
