Sorry, but if we have any self respect, a game that only works on GPUs by one company should be boycotted these days. (In this case after years!)

On Windows nobody would give the developer a pass on that, right?

They once said on Twitter that they port older games to the new engine.
I guess that'll happen. :/

Quoting: ShmerlThis might not be enough to force Nvidia to upstream their driver, but it will for sure decrease the usage of their blob even further.

That's a good thing for Linux ecosystem and progress of Wayland.

There are rumours that Nvidia had no chance getting a platform win with Google Stadia as they have no competitive open-source driver with NVidia being the stakeholder.
If this isn't pressure, I don't know.

"We're looking into ways to support Linux via Steam Play"

Also doesn't work for me on another system with recent ArchLinux.

On which Linux distribution is this running at all?
Ubuntu/SteamOS?

And no reply so far on the support request.

That's annoying, really.
Playing now using Windows.
I'm getting more and more pragmatic. :)

Quoting: KlaasI think it's really insulting that the developer dragged Linux into the “Apple hates developers and end users” mess deliberately giving a wrong impression.

Yeah, and calls others "disrespectful" for telling him "Welcome on the ignore list!"

BTW: What has the publisher also known as Humble Bundle to say to this?

Reading lots of feedback and opinions by devs you'll see many being very closed-minded and prejudiced against the Linux ecosystem. Still. After all the years with great dev tools and environments they're still supporting each others opinion that Linux is a hell to support and not worth it (market share).

Moreover, those are typically the same devs that are very thin-skinned when it comes to criticism.
Waiting for this dev to call "us" ungrateful. That's usually the final step in the escalation. :)

Quoting: subOh Ryan ... I only get a black screen on launch. :D
I'm sure he'll fix this.

Apparently that's not the only bug. Me and a friend ran into a script error a few screens into the game that seems pretty much game-breaking.

So, it would seem this needs a patch before it gets going.

A patch landed and this issue seems to be gone now. Icculus seems to work quick!

Ryan does a great job.

He sure was (is) a very important person for Linux gaming.

Let's see how long it'll take him to fix the black screen ... :D

Same issue for me, seems to be related to libcurl_gnutls.so.4.2.0 from the Steam runtime.

Mind to share your specs? :)
I'm on Fedora 30 and Steam beta.

And please consider to share your findings on the discussion page.
There is a topic already but no answer so far.
"Only black screen on Linux"

and if you are interested in knowing why I and hundreds of other game developers are ditching Mac/Linux, take a look at this article! [External Link]

Well, that link is entirely about the Apple ecosystem.

Btw, I'm not a fanboy but if Ron Gilbert says it's a great game, it's worth giving it a try.

What a pity.

I can't remember when I had such an obvious bug with an Icculus port.
I mean, I neither use cumbersome hardware nor distribution.
