I could have done with this the other week when I got it into my head to install Doom 3, I forgot about SteamCMD so I did it the hard way.

City-building strategy game 'Banished' is no longer having a Linux port

I'm glad I didn't buy this one at that time, I've made that mistake too often in the past, it also means I'll have to think long & hard about anything else this developer brings out whether to support them or not, right now I'm landing on the "no support from me" side of the fence, that could change if they port to Linux of course, but it's in their hands.

I did wonder if there was some difference between performance on standard Linux & SteamOS, looks like it's the same. what you got there is what I get, muddy water, random flashes of light, BUT it is running better than it used to graphics aside.
