Quoting: ShmerlBatman games on Linux sounds interesting, but doubtful. At least WB made their appearance on GOG, so may be they'll release them DRM-free as well.

Not going to speculate about Batman on Linux, but Bastion is a Warner Bros game and it is available on Linux. So, there's some hope...

Quoting: MohandevirSince Microsoft is involved, just forget about it, it's all over.
They'll probably make sure it doesn't happen, like they did with Netflix and MechWarrior Online, and, and, and...

They dropped Netflix limitations because of all the mobile devices that required it and it's on a field where they already lost the battle, anyway...

Else, M$ doesn't like fair competition...

What does MS have to do with Netflix?

Also don't Mac, PS4, iOS and Android count as competitors? Heck this doesn't look to be coming to Microsofts own mobile platform at all... it seems it will be exclusively available on competeting platforms!

Netflix has all to do with M$... I don't know if it's still the case but they used to be a major shareholder in Netflix. M$ bux.

Back then, I found some interresting discussions threads with some members of the Netflix support staff who told directly that there was no Linux/MAC support because of M$.

Neflix on PS4 and MAC? Until recently it was impossible. Android and IOS are competitors in the market of the mobile device where M$ has a ±3% marketshare... They are not in a Monopolistic position to oppose anybody and if Netflix wants to take it's share of this new market, they had no choice but to drop the limitations. We just benefited from that.

I was talking about the game this news post is about, specifically the following facts about it:

1. It is coming to Mac.
2. It is coming to "Playstation consoles".
3. It is coming to iOS.
4. It is coming to Android.
5. It is NOT coming to Windows for smartphones/tablets.

If MS wanted an exclusive for itself it would not allow those 5 things to happen.

I get your point but it's not about making a Windows exclusive more than having to do with the following celeb quote and all the minding that comes with it:

"Linux is a cancer"
-Steve Ballmer.

If you still have faith in M$, it's all up to you, but I don't. Do I need to say more?

Else, M$ doesn't like fair competition because they just can't compete anymore...

The only game I play, using PoL is World of Tanks. I find the script a good start to easily install the game and then tweak it to have the best Wine version and entries in the wine registry.

For someone new tho Wine, PoL is a great and easy start, but you must know that it might not be the best setup for your game. Often it's a good basis to work with.

As you wish. As I said it was only a suggestion.
I just said this is what I'd do just to know if it's distro or hardware related.
If the same problem is present on a Debian based system (which is officialy supported by Steam)...

All I can see is Mageia is not well supported because it's not a Debian based system, but it's just a wild guess. Else I don't understand, you have quite a machine!

Do you have a spare drive to try your setup on Ubuntu or Mint?

It's just a suggestion but that's what I'd try.

Just looked at your pics... Nice job! Roccat... How I'd like to get one of these! :)
