There is an environment variable for it. No need for profiles.

Ah yeah I went right to the profile bit on the old article, testing it briefly now it seems it does fix it for SkateBIRD too. Will add it to the article, cheers.

The current Unity version used has issues with NVIDIA, it's the graphical corruption bug I've reported on numerous times.

NVIDIA was adding an option to the driver to work around this issue. Hasn't this made it into the driver by now?

I assume you're talking about this, which was just another workaround and I've heard nothing since.

Exactly. It says in the nvidia forum thread that it was introduced in 418.30, no I would assume that this environment variable would be the better way to work around it for current drivers.

Quoting: ToriHas anyone managed to run it? I get a seg fault when launching the game.

I guess it's time to start reporting ;) https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues [External Link]

Quoting: SimbobLooks to be based on One Finger Death Punch [External Link] and that's such a great game, but Windows only. It would be nice to see how it compares, and have a game like this for Linux.

I was trying to remember the name but I just couldn't quite get it, that's one of the most popular for sure.

Quoting: WorMzyMore content is good! I've only played for 10 hours so far, but already feel like I've accomplished everything I can in it. I got to the point where my city is just big enough to be self-sufficient without needing to expand further, and once every so often I just need to activate the military jobs to repel a viking siege or dragon attack. If some new or better threats were introduced, then I'd have an incentive to continue developing my city.

Then you're going to be in for a treat with what they have planned :D

Yeah and it's another that hasn't said a word on the Steam page.

Why isn't Valve just wiping these products as long as they are exclusive elsewhere?

Or at least shut down the community hub for those products.

No idea, any single time it happens the community turns into a complete shitfest, Valve should step in and do something really. Imagine any other business where something similar would happen, you would not see it in the store at all.

Quoting: liamdaweThe thing to remember about Stadia is that games do have to run on Linux. It's literally Debian under the hood. However, most AAA titles have high levels of abstraction for APIs, since they often run on Windows, PS4, Xbox, Switch and some on Mac, so getting it on Linux with Vulkan for bigger studios isn't going to be a lot of trouble.

PlayStation OSes run on a variant of BSD and that didn't bring us more games from their platform. My opinion is that Stadia running on Debian is more a fun fact that an actual game changer or factor to take into account.

Vulkan, however, might be a better indicative for our interests.

I've never said Stadia will mean Linux ports though, just that it may help in future :)

This time is quite different though, since it's not a console. It's a service any of us will have the choice to use it or not on Linux.

Added Aground, they announced a console release along with a big update to the Early Access release. Aiming for a full release early next year.
