Nice! I enjoyed DE:HR on my 360, and played it through a few times, so I've no doubt I'll enjoy this as well. Thanks Feral. Y'all are a beacon in an all-too-often dark world!

Quoting: omer666

Quoting: liamdaweI am personally hoping it's at least okay, as I've been wanting to try it for a while.

To be fair, RPS' John said he recommends it despite its flaws.

Thank you. I'm glad someone mentioned that review at RPS. It single-handedly cemented my future purchase of Homefront (whenever it comes out on Linux.) As a huge fan of the glitch-laden masterpiece Saint's Row 2, I know there's more to my enjoying a game than multi-player PVP modes and photo-realistic graphics, two things I remember predictably cited by many negative Steam reviews.

I"m glad to hear it's release feels ever closer. It. Shall. Be. Mine.

Quoting: HoriOn Arch Linux there was a special file that had to be created to make the wireless mode work at all (with or without Steam open), it was a udev rule file. You can find it on Arch Wiki on the "Gamepad" page, it may help you on Ubuntu as well... it's worth a shot :)

Blessings of Tux the Mighty be upon you for sharing this!! I haven't checked if it works yet on my Ubuntu rig yet, but just havng someone confirm that it is possible warrants dancing in a circle singing, "Yeah!! Yeah!! Uh-Huh!! Linux rocks!! Oh Yeah!!" Or similar.

I can't believe Ubuntuneans haven't been more aggressively working on a fix for this. Or that I've not been able to come across said aggression if they have.

Addenda:

1. This update, cool as it was, caused Payday 2 to crash faster than a coked-up Hindenburg every time I tried to join a mission lobby. It's the stable client for me for awhile.

2. Regarding the new Zoom feature. I hadn't thought about it until now, but that will be blissfully useful when I use the desktop client because BPM is still too limited for my taste. Now I'll be able to read the text on the desktop client without squinting.

This has been on my wishlist for ages, and I"m pretty stoked about its release!

I bought it and downloaded it last night, and I'll play it later today. I've been following this game since it's inception. As I recall, this whole game came about by developers messing around in-house and, having so much fun, deciding to release a version for the public.

Like I said, I've not played it yet, but my expectations are in the area of the non-game Goat Simulator. I think the price reflects that the devs know full well what a silly thing ICoERR is. It's a lark, and one I hope is every bit as absurd as Liam says it is. :)

Funny you mention this, as I just registered at itch.io and installed their client yesterday! Coincidence? Synchronicity? Or PROOF OF THE LINUX OVERMIND?

My growing dissatisfaction with Steam's clients has me starting to ponder alternatives. I'm thinking sc-controller with the Itch client might be a nice change of pace. (Though, I've got to contact them about adding a zoom feature akin to a webbrowser's to their client. It's lovely, but the font is even tinier than the Steam client's. lol.)

Anyway, I agree with you. Itch.io is worth watching.

Can y'all tell me if Big Picture in SteamOS has the shortcomings of BPM in the client?

I've used the desktop client to workaround BPM's limited display of my wishlist and inability to access settings from the overlay, But the recent discovery that I can't group chat in BPM has me starting to look into longer term alternatives.

Is SteamOS better than BPM in these regards?

I hadn't heard about this one yet. It's going on the wishlist!

{And out of curiosity, and because, honestly, I'm not certain, are those sales-by-OS percentages pretty close to their respective OS market share? I mean, we're not out-buying WinMac, but we appear to be buying our share, right? Is that good? I want that to be good. :) )
