Life is Strange released for Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts and a port report included

Quoting: cxphergmailcom
Quoting: Vash63I'm unable to run the game in full screen mode, just get a full black screen.

Nvidia 367.35 on Arch w/ Gnome.
Found a workaround for this. Go to either advanced options in the Feral launcher or right click on the game and go to properties and under advanced options..

Just put an = sign there and apply.

When you launch the game, it will popup an error.. click ok on the error (don't click cancel) and the game will auto minimize. Just click on it again and you're in fullscreen mode and playing.

Don't think this issue exists on SteamOS. Just if you're using another disto/DE, then maybe. I'm running Arch with Gnome 3.20.x.

For those of you seeing a blackscreen on launch in fullscreen mode, this will also workaround that.

I suspect it has to do with the Unreal logo. I remember Windows users had this problem too when the game launched for Windows. Also, initially i thought it had to do with the location of the game folder (mine is in a non default location on another drive).. so i symlinked the location to the default one and it didn't fix it either. So pretty sure it's that Unreal logo issue Windows users initially had. I'd read some reports that some Mac OS users also face this so i don't think it's due to the OS but more to the game bug that originally existed in the Windows version.

I'd report it but i think Feral is only supporting SteamOS for this and not other distributions so i'm not sure if i should.
Feral support more than just SteamOS. Report all issues.

Keep it cool guys.

If you're below min spec, you should expect poor performance. DrMcCoy your processor is far too under-powered and has been for years, so I'm not sure what you were expecting :P

If you're at min spec or above and have issues, I hope you're emailing [email protected] with your full spec and performance issues.

Commenting is one thing, actually reporting is another ;)

Quoting: dmantioneIt's impressive: They have managed to release another game that doesn't work with Fglrx drivers.

To bad, I would like to have rewarded this with a day one purchase.
Yet it works with Mesa, so what does that say about Catalyst? Catalyst isn't even supported any more by AMD. The last Catalyst release was last year...

Quoting: lucifertdark10 frames a second for me with the latest nvidia drivers on my GTX660. :( Not good.
That doesn't sound right at all, what settings?

Quoting: morbiusIf I knew the port is so close, I would have picked up this at the Steam summer sale instead of Oxenfree for the same money. I guess I'll wait for Life is Strange to be again on 50% discount, though if the first episode impresses me a lot, I might impulse buy it, like I did with Wolf Among Us. Really good marketing strategy to give people first chapter of a mystery novel for free.
Feral wouldn't have gotten paid if you had did that.

Quoting: ShmerlAre they already using GTK3 for the launcher? They used GTK2 for TW2.
Yes, GTK3.

Quoting: marcusHm ... So Feral gets money only if I buy the Season pass. But is it guaranteed that Seasons 2-5 will also be on Linux? Can anyone from Feral comment on that?
All episodes are on Linux.

Quoting: s8as8aWait, episode 1 will be permanently free tomorrow?
That's what it looks like yes. So you will only need to buy the additional episodes.
