Dead Island Patch Released For Linux, Finally Playable (Updated)
9 Feb 2015 at 4:17 pm UTC Likes: 1

As I'm too lazy to list them myself, this forum post [External Link] has it:
1) all boxes give brass knuckles

2) all computers give batteries, all the time

3) all zombies drop money and nothing else

4) all trash cans give alcohol bottles, all the time
This patch should fix all that.

Dead Island Patch Released For Linux, Finally Playable (Updated)

Quoting: JayBeeeHah, was just playing it, and shut down. When I came back I saw this and saw that a patch was downloaded. :P But it was playable before to? o.O
I don't really call a game that depends on a loot system, with a broken loot system, playable :P

Dying Light Patch Released, Look Ma No Blur

Quoting: BeamboomIt's a little bit confusing when these articles are headlining so long afterwards, and over newer articles, cause one is lead to believe there is another patch out.
This is the latest patch and the latest article, so I don't get the confusion?

Interstellar Marines FPS Update 17 Is Live

Quoting: FutureSutureI will consider purchasing this once it's out of beta and there is a singleplayer campaign.
They already have a fair few co-op missions, but it will be worth waiting. Myself and Samsai did a mission earlier and couldn't carry on as a keycard didn't appear :(

Well my old 560ti managed to run it reasonably, so I think that seems right?

Lords of Xulima RPG Released For Linux, A Little On The Buggy Side

might be a dutch thing, but when somebody says "we give it a go and tell you what we think" but is talking about himself... its something royalty does, they talk about themselves as we :) but maybe its normal in English, I just notice it a lot and wonder about it
It's a writer thing, something the Linux Voice higher ups mentioned to me when writing for them is they prefer "we" over "I" (I can't remember why!).

Personally, I need to get out of doing it on GOL, as I prefer my posts to be personal, since they are from me and not a collection of people.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, A CryEngine Game Linux Version Still Happening, Not Due Until After Windows

Quoting: EKRboi
Quoting: SmalokiI think one of the reasons for this is CryEngine's lack of Linux support (I know Crytek are currently porting it, but they aren't done yet...).

I really hope that they'll port it even if Crytek drops the promised Linux version of their engine.
Source? I've been under the impression that the engine has been Linux capable since mid last year. I can't recall really hearing/reading anything more about it much past when Crytek announced and showed Linux support at GDC last year. Everyone knows about Star Citizen, this game and I feel like there was a ski/snowboarding game announced last year that even showed it running in Ubuntu that was running in CryEngine.

EDIT* Yep, HERE is the link to the GOL article about the game titled "Snow".

Liam can you reach out to the devs for a linux support update please? It looks to be going into "closed beta" at the end of march.. which from the looks of things is open for registration on their website right now @ www.snowthegame.com
I've reached out to the developer of SNOW as requested.
