Quoting: apocalyptechHmm odd, can't test myself as I don't own it, could be a Mesa bug?Quoting: liamdaweTry this fix and see if it helps.Nope, doesn't do the trick! (I hadn't tried until now 'cause I'm on Mesa/Intel instead of nVidia, though of course it didn't hurt to check.)

Quoting: EgonautThe problem here, is that there's tons of developers who only post changelogs in their Steam forum as lots of developers feel like they spam users with updates.Quoting: EikeMajor updates should be posted by the developers as news (that's my hope at least), so following the games could help.This could be helpful as well: https://store.steampowered.com/updated/myapps/ [External Link]

Quoting: s0laI wonder why it has "coming soon" tag, when it's going to be released on winter? :)It's just a generic tag we use for unreleased games that are confirmed to be coming, I suppose we could do with making that clearer.

Quoting: apocalyptechTry this fix and see if it helps.Quoting: liamdaweA similar issue I saw in another game, if you re-name the Steam API file and put it where it wants it, it should launch. Should be easy for the dev to fix.Heh, hello over here as well! Yeah, in this case it's some files that are flat-out missing, though fortunately you can find 'em in the original Snakebird instal folder. I agree that it'll be simple enough for a dev to fix, and anyone with the original Snakebird (or possibly also any other Mono-based game) would have the files on-hand to fix right away anyway.
Unfortunately I'm also having some other graphical corruption issues right after finishing the first level:

Much as I don't mind having an easier Snakebird to play through, just that first little tutorial level itself is unlikely to hold my interest. :) I have faith it'll get fixed.

Quoting: Guest....aaaaaand I think I know what I'll be playing around with tonight. Good to see an update, and I'm incredibly curious about how well Unreal Engine with Vulkan will work on my Kaveri.And that's why I've got so much of my library installed, to keep everyone up to date :P
(I don't keep games installed if I'm not playing them, so I don't really see notifications about game updates unless they're posted here.)

Quoting: apocalyptechOoh, I am thrilled!A similar issue I saw in another game, if you re-name the Steam API file and put it where it wants it, it should launch. Should be easy for the dev to fix.
Having some difficulty launching the app, though: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1014140/discussions/0/1797403972733719945/ [External Link] - I assume that'll get sorted eventually. Anyone have any ideas about that?

Quoting: federico_cbaDon't let the charming looks deceive you, the first game is quite difficult, far from casual.Well, in this case the developer is specifically saying it's a casual game.

Quoting: Sir_DiealotSo how does it actually work? Mod.io? Integration in launchers like GOG Galaxy?As the quote notes, it's directly in the game and I linked to their mod website too.
Valve is getting back to focusing on gaming, with non-gaming videos being retired

Quoting: scaineThat was one of my long-standing complaints about the whole thing, everyone I know with a console also use it for streaming video services.Quoting: slaapliedjeThey don't need to sell video content to get the living room feeling, just have some netflix/amazon prime/etc 'apps' in SteamOS/Big picture mode.I suspect this is a (or another) reason that Steam devices didn't really take off. Playstation and Xbox both allow Netflix, Spotify and others on their consoles. Why would you buy a SteamPC that doesn't support any of that. Pretty ridiculous.
I bought Conman through Steam, otherwise yeah never bothered with their other videos.
