I'll go for the unexpected… Wolfenstein: The New Order [External Link]. It would be so nice to once again have games from what's left of Id Software (now Bethesda).

Great, pre-ordered my Linux copy and it's already on sale before it has been delivered. But really it's great to (soon) have another AAA title here on Linux. :D

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Released On Steam For Linux

I gave it a quick try (it's only a 85.5MB download) and it looks pretty good. I'm looking forward to playing with some of my competitive family members over the holidays.

But I did come across two quirks.
  • I would have liked a bit more antialiasing but there are currently no graphical options in-game (seems it'll be added in a future update [External Link] and attempting to force it results in a black screen.

  • Navigating the menus with a keyboard, the escape key nor any other appear to be mapped to back.
    Edit: after a bit of searching I've found it's backspace for back [External Link].

Quoting: sevI am just glad that they are recognising that yes, Linux users will pay for games.

@German users, just use a VPN [External Link] to order your copy. The well respected AirVPN [External Link] (I use them myself) starts at just €1 and then there's the newly launched FrootVPN [External Link] which is free.

There are PA tournaments run by exodus esports [External Link].

The issue Samsai had is caused by bug FS#2392 [External Link] (be sure to add a vote). Uber with Coherent's help added a hotfix/workaround in the 1.0 release which has fixed it for the most part, but it does still occur for some people more then others.
