And I also saw you already hade it on the sales list.I wrote an automatic cron to import Linux sales to the sales page from GOG. It is always up to date :)

Quoting: mulletdeathSo what's actually the "correct" way to install the latest NVIDIA driver with that blasted .run file? It was *so* much easier to install a newer NVIDIA driver in Arch since you just install it right from the repos. Not entirely sure what I did wrong, but I just tried to upgrade from 352.63 to the latest stable here on my Ubuntu laptop and ended up not being able to boot.I linked to the PPA you should use in the article. Using the nvidia installer on Ubuntu is a recipe for disaster.

Quoting: BinogureLittle typo, its TressFX (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TressFX [External Link]) not TresFX .Doh, I checked and was sure! Apologies, I will blame it on this savage cold I have.

Quoting: LeerdeckI'm tampered but it's early access... Many early access games have not the most experienced devs and let's not start about experience with Linux support. Hope you guys will make a port report or something like that.I have requested a key from my PR people who they work with, but I don't know if they are awake right now (timezones).

Quoting: LinasWhat makes it compelling to me is that there is actually a goal in the game. You can lose or win in finite amount of time. As opposed to the likes of Rust where you only delay your inevitable death by a little bit.That's also one of the major hooks for me too.

Quoting: SamsaiI asked them about it before, this was their answer:Quoting: Mountain ManWere the keys acquired directly from Paradox so that they get their fair share of the sale? I'm always a bit suspicious of key sellers, especially when they offer discounts that you can't find anywhere else.Games Republic should be a legitimate reseller. However, I do recommend you wait until release for all the obvious reasons.

I've been given a key, so I can do some thoughts on it sometime soon.
As for 2D vs 3D, who cares really? If a game is fun, it's fun.

GOL SteamOS & Linux Survey results for March 2016

We will see how it goes with time.
You may be right though of course, but you may be wrong, only time will really tell.

Quoting: NelI thought about that, but it just doesn't add up. There would be no need to tick Steam if you didn't buy any, even before that option came in as all questions are optional.This one is weird, the amount of people using Steam seems to have dropped. I was thinking it was originally a blip, but the trend has continued. A lower drop than before though.Because you added a new option: "Didn't buy any". Drop for Steam occured exactly at this specific month and for a similar amount .
I suppose people ticked Steam thinking if they bought any game, it would have been on steam. Most people buy their games on steam anyway.

~Ulukai, this is actually a common problem in a lot of games. As games will switch the prompts to what you're using, so if you set it to be a mouse, the game will then think you're using a mouse and keyboard.
You need to try one of the other modes, mouse like joystick is probably the main one to prevent it. Tweak around with it and see what you can come up with, that's the beauty of it remember.
