Space combat game 'ASTROKILL' has been patched with improved Linux support

Quoting: Leopard
Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: LeopardThere is no SteamOS+Linux sys req page and SteamOS icon.

Is it alpha or beta for Linux?
There is no SteamOS icon to indicate Linux support, but it is there. The developer is likely waiting for more confirmation about how it runs before properly advertising it.
I see but people won't be aware of a Linux version exists for that game , unless they're not following GoL or Reddit. So that is not helpful if they want some feedbacks.
Having it fully advertised, with thousands of people buying it can overwhelm a developer with feedback, especially with a small team.

Quoting: ArdjeDid no one get that crash on EAC? It crashes for me when it tries to do ssl negotiations. I can't find a log about the crash though. It just stops.
Now and then, but it goes away.

Thursday Treats, a little look at some interesting Linux games on sale right now

Quoting: Sir_DiealotRight. There are some other Linux games on sale though.
Well they have one Linux game on sale, one pre-order for a cheaper price and one in development listed. That's it.

Edit: Turns out they also have Bastion on sale, but it's only listed as on sale by hitting the WB sale link. Their store could use a little work.

Quoting: Sir_DiealotGOG do WB sale. Now. With all the backlash WB gets from the shit they pull with shadow of war. You actually did them a favor by not mentioning it.
I have no reason to mention it, the games aren't on Linux.

Quoting: elmapulso, the D3D9/DirectX9 still dont run flawlessly ? dammit that is sad =\
Wine will likely never get finished. Windows is a moving target for them.

Even when an implementation might be classed as complete, there will likely still be work that can be done to improve it.

Quoting: lemonsbrThanks so much! <3

Retwittes (old and news) can be valid way to get this key?
The only valid way is to have an account older than one day I'm afraid. This is to prevent issues we've had in the new past where a bunch of new registrations (likely bots) took them all.

Distrust, inspired by John Carpenter's "The Thing" could see Linux support

Quoting: razing32Dude , I brought this up to you less than a week ago.
You said :
"Considering their wording, it's not worth posting.
On 29/08/17"

Did something that radical change ??
Don't take it personally, sometimes I change my mind.

There's a brand new Humble Bundle with almost all the games on Linux, oh my
