+1. Couldn't have worded it better myself!

For anyone interested, I suggest reading through the dev diaries (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Cities-series/discussions/0/613937306568038527/)

The game now works as intended with catalyst omega (Radeon HD 7870 with Kubuntu 14.04 64bit). It still crashes with radeonsi (mesa 10.5 git with llvm 3.7) though.

Dying Light Is Almost Playable On Linux, If You Do Some Tinkering (Updated)
30 Jan 2015 at 9:19 am UTC

So far my experience with my Radeon HD 7870 and AMD FX 8150:

- Mesa 10.5 with llvm 3.6 on Kubuntu 14.10 64bit and Linux 3.19 rc6: Game launches but during loading it crashes (segfaults). I can't get to a point where images / intro video / etc. are shown. (see http://steamcommunity.com/app/239140/discussions/0/613948093894856905/?tscn=1422572819#c604941528473747137) [External Link]

- Fglrx omega with Kubuntu 14.04 64bit (with stock Linux 3.13): Game launches correctly and doesn't crash but only a white screen is shown when intro video and main menu should be shown.

Sigh...

Could it be Simcity complete edition...?? I have just received a mail from Aspyr stating that it has just arrived on the Mac Store... So it could be the same for Linux as well.

C4 Engine Drops Linux Support, Developer Says Linux Is Inferior
13 Jan 2015 at 9:11 am UTC

Quoting: vulture"expert" => "problems with apt-get"
That's my thought too. And that was my same thought when this guy said he had had problems installing Ubuntu and so on...

Man, I'm no programmer and I don't work in the IT industry by no means. I would call myself just an advanced user, but back in 2002 (woody or sarge) I was able to install Debian netinst... Those memories.... just like the joy of trying the brand new KDE 3.0...
