Don't Starve Together has left Early Access

Quoting: ZeloxI dont know what you mean by the icon
Don't Starve Together officially supports DS4 and thanks to that I am able to pick it in the options and see all the action tips presented as dualshock button icons like in the images:


If it would work for wireless connection as well it would be golden.

Quoting: ZeloxHave u tryed xpadder? Might help you.
Is this a Linux tool? When I google it, I receive only Windows-related topics, and for Linux it seems people look for xpadder alternatives.
And what's more - in Don't Starve Together, when I wire DS4, I receive PS4 icons on UI. I would love to have that on wireless connection as well ;)

While I have to say Don't Starve in general is great (17 hours of Don't Starve Together and 100 hours of Don't Starve and Don't Starve: Reign of Giants), I am sad because game left early access and I still cannot play with my Dualshock 4 gamepad when it's not wired (on standard Don't Starve this issue does not occur).
How does the game behave like with Steam Controller? Does it have some dedicated in-game support or is it a mouse and keyboard mapping?

Funny thing. Most of the Linux gamers hate M$ so much that they remove Windows logo from the keyboard. You have Windows logo in your Linux system :D

Steam Client Beta updated, fixes performance with Vulkan and Steam Overlay

the performance penalty of using Vulkan with the Steam Overlay seems to be mostly fixed.
Will you redo The Talos of Principle tests for Vulkan with Steam overlay turned on?

Gorky 17, another classic Topware published title now in beta for Linux, uses Wine

I said it multiple times already and I will do it once again - I think that Wine ports are a good idea for older titles, but they have to be seamless for the user.
Unfortunately Topware Wine ports are not seamless for me - In Earth 2160 and Knights and Merchants I cannot alt+tab from the game and back to it, I cannot even start steam overlay and go back to game - it causes freeze in a game.
In my opinion it is important to have this issues fixed if this titles are meant to work correctly for Steam OS users and Valve wants to have library of good titles working correctly on their platform.

Anyway, I bought Earth 2160, Knights and Merchants and now Gorky 17 (even if port is not officially done, it is in beta, but for K&M it was few days to leave beta phase) and all this games costed me overall below 2 euros. For me it is a good deal, even with the issues I currently have.

PS. K&M is really great.

Knights and Merchants now on Linux (again), ported with Wine
25 Mar 2016 at 8:24 am UTC

I was writing this multiple times - if I have to choose from Wine wrapped version or no version I will always pick Wine wrapped version.
However KaM Remake does not work correctly for me - it ignores resolution setting and it is not launched in fullscreen mode.
Anyway, I have 21 hours in game (in KaM classic), all played while being opted to the Linux beta. And I love this title like I used to love it when I was a kid back in the days.

Tomb Raider, the excellent 2013 game is officially coming to Linux from Feral Interactive

Great, on Friday I've bought Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on PS4...

Want to use dual monitors but don't have enough desk space? I found a great monitor arm for you

Liam, does it mean you play in front of monitor, not in front of TV? Why? :(

GOL Asks: What have you been playing recently?

After I've read here that Knights & Merchants was released on Steam for Linux (as wine wrapped version) I've started to play it. 4 days later I've 14 hours in game and I've realized that this is a game that I loved so much back in the days and now I remember why. I'm on 7th mission (almost done) and I guess I will continue to play it next weekend and week as well.
Before K&M I was playing Pillars of Eternity.
