Quoting: FredOI didn't know these guys do Linux & MAC ports - it looks like they have Sony console ports on their list?
Following the discussion here https://twitter.com/flibitijibibo/status/730794103999434752 [External Link] you seem to be right about this one being their first port... oh dear

Quoting: zebI only have 16GB left. Could it be the reason? How big is it? By the way, the install dialog does not display the size before install, as it should do.
Its said to be a 10-11gb download. Didn't show the size for me too.

EDIT: Which version do you have? I got it through the "Tomb Raider Collection" in 2013.
That version is a Windows bundle with many Windows only games, it appears to not have added Linux depots for TR 2013. We'll be contacting valve to ask them to have a look into it.
Thanks :)

Quoting: kellerkindtAnyone else for whom it does not download anything on steam? :(
Yes, same problem here. It stops at 0 bytes, but says "Ready to play". Maybe a server issue, I will try to change it.

Edit: I tried UK-London and Sweden, same issue. No download.
Same here, tried Munich, Frankfurt and Seattle. I am also already in touch with the feral support...
Close Steam out. Open Steam... Profit. This was suggested by Feral on the Twitters.
Did not work for me. Restarted several times. Even retested steam as suggested by the support without success.

The Talos Principle now has a Linux beta build available with Vulkan

Quoting: leillo1975I expected more fps in Vulkan
That's the point. On Linux we all have ~20 more FPS on OpenGL than Vulkan.
But maybe OpenGL on Windows is garbage.
Q: Then I can expect some great benchmark results?

A: Not so fast! Sorry. :( This is a beta phase, and there's still work to be done from our (Croteam) side and IHVs from driver side. But please be patient: in time, after optimizations are done, Vulkan will be faster, I'm sure.

Q: Really?

A: Let me put it this way: When The Talos Principle came out, it had a very similar frame rate in DirectX 9 vs DX 11. But then we optimized the game, and the drivers were optimized in the meantime, and now D3D11 is 20-30% faster than D3D9! I have a firm belief that this will also happen to Vulkan vs D3D11, over time However, for now you can actually expect lower frame-rate compared to D3D11. C'mon, it's brand new API, give it some time. :)

The trade off Mad Max for Batman seems to be worth it:
