Quoting: CybolicI'll have to disagree as well.
The audio is crackling for me, like in many other Wine games, and the loading times, the delay for the pause menu and loading/saving are several minutes and I'm on a 4GHz Intel i7 with 48GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 660 Ti and running the game from a striped SSD array - there's clearly something wrong with the Wine layer.

Move the audio off of OpenAL, fixed the sound for me.

Quoting: pbI have a feeling that when Steamboxes start to ship, they will be accompanied by some big releases - Tropico 5, Civilization V, X-COM, Project Cars, maybe Age of Wonders 3, and... could it be... Half-Life 3? I'm not sure if HL3 has been in the works long enough, though.

I agree, it now makes me pretty sure XCOM is also waiting for the first Steam Machine release.

Indeed, their tweet said PC and I mistakenly thought that included Linux since it was a supported platform, but no they as-well use PC when they mean Windows. Wasn't until I saw they also did a post on their site stating that.

Quoting: CybolicWell... lost and lost... [They were found again](http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126456&page=31&p=2035146&viewfull=1#post2035146 [External Link]), but I'm guessing the legality of found source code versus old source code is beyond mere mortals.

Indeed, a company can't just use someones "found" source-code, they would need to audit every-line character by character to make sure there was no tampering...and that's too time consuming for anyone to do.

Well I streamed a bit on twitch last night for Linux folks and it worked well, only annoying thing is the auto-save is a bit rubbish and i lost all my progress :(

Took some configuring to get it into windowed mode too, but once that was done performance was utterly flawless.

Quoting: SangeetKhatriHow can someone lose the Source Code? This is extent of carelessness.

Many ways after 15 years of moving around offices, developers, publishers etc.

Distrowatch is not anything to base things on, FYI they track hits to their pages and nothing else.

Probably the biggest month since Steam coming to Linux.
