Don't worry, we can always do another one together ;)

Different people, different tastes :)

I really like class based stuff, so I have a custom loadout tailored to my own tastes.

Quoting: BeamboomThe big question is: How's the community on this game? Are there many players online today? Will there be many players the coming months?
Since I first discovered it and wrote about it back in June I have never had an issue finding a game, when I tested the new update last night plenty of servers were full. Has a small community, but dedicated community.

Quoting: SaladienCould you ask them when they will add multi platform support?
(For me atleast thats a total deal breaker)
Not likely to ever be added.

The Steam Hardware Survey for September 2016 shows Linux has grown some more

Quoting: minjSteam survey is crap. Even if it weren't such marginal changes are meaningless. I've been arguing to stop reporting on it for a while now.
Crap how? It generally shows good trends. Not looking how we want it to doesn't make it crap.

Quoting: TcheyI confess i already bought it day one, and it plays well on PlayOnLinux, but i'm glad it's coming to Linux.
Why when it was already confirmed to have a Linux release? Now you're just a Windows sale.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising and Retribution released for Linux, port report and thoughts

FYI guys, if the game will not appear for you and you're using Compton, it seems to be an issue when using Compton's GLX backend.

Either kill Compton, don't use the GLX backend or use a different compositor and it will work.

It's the same for Company of Heroes 2.

I think ‘Particle Fleet: Emergence’ just became my new Linux gaming addiction

Personally I enjoy the way it's done, introducing you to more and more types of weapons and abilities as the campaign goes on, been having a real blast with it!

Quoting: coruun@Liam: Did you try to hold "E" to keep the formation?
Yeah, while it keeps the formation, they don't rotate towards the location which is annoying. You can either move and rotate them towards the location and they fuck up the formation, or keep formation and don't rotate at all :(

Just a heads up, Saints Row: The Third on Linux has broken co-op play

Quoting: MarkyLiam, could you elaborate on what's broken with the co-op? I've been playing Saint's Row 3 co-op with a friend who uses windows. Aside from some random crashes and our radio's not being synchronised, it's been pretty flawless for me on Ubuntu.
I imagine you're connecting to them right? If so, it's likely Linux to Linux is what's broken. You're the only person I've ever seen say it works.
