Massive Planetary Annihilation Patch Released, Awesome Stuff

Yup, I did. But, to be honest, I am running it on Fedora so it could be Fedora-only issues. Let's see if this update fixes those issues.

Quoting: liamdaweQuoting: sarmadHere is to hoping it's actually fixed and playable now. I bought this damn game more than a year ago when it was still in Early Access stage and for most of that year the game wasn't even playable on Linux. Didn't work at all at start, then they fixed it and it became playable, then shortly after regression came and it was unplayable, until now. Hopefully this time it's fixed for real.
I hope you reported all the issues you had.

Contrary to what many people think, this actually benefits Linux! How? Having the SteamOS logo similar to Steam's logo gives the impression that SteamOS is the way to go if you want to best Steam experience. In other words, Valve is using their own successful brand to promote SteamOS which will, hopefully, result in more sales of Steam Machines. Selling more Steam Machines is far more important than getting people to know the Linux logo.

Who cares about Early Access. My experience with Early Access was quite terrible: you pay to be a game tester!!!

I bought this game full price more than a year ago if I remember correctly. And now, one year after, the game is still very buggy on Linux and you'll be lucky if you can finish a game session without it hanging in the middle of the match.

If one man is able to port 2 or 3 games to Linux in a year then why do big studios avoid releasing their games on Linux fearing it won't be profitable? Few thousand copies should be enough to cover all the cost.

Great news. It looks like Steam Machines will launch with far more AAA games than the PS4 launched with. Can't wait for November.

Quoting: SabunAny mention on whether they use middleware, and if that middleware currently supports Linux?Yes, Unreal Engine. It's shown on the video.
Bioshock Infinite Early Linux Port Report
18 March 2015 at 2:11 am UTC Likes: 1
Not really. These are older games designed for PS3-level hardware and they will still run fine on Steam Machines despite the extra overhead of the wrapper. These games won't be used as a reference when comparing Steam Machines to consoles and even if they are used for comparison, it will still be in Steam Machines' favour. Afterall, Bioshock Infinite is available on Steam Machines but not on PS4 or XB1.
For newer games Valve isn't taking a wrapper route. Almost all major engines support Linux natively and Valve is working hard on getting Vulcan in a good shape. So expect newer games to be on par with Windows.

Quoting: melkemindI think these wrapper versions of games are nice for the current Linux crowd that might not otherwise play the game if it were never ported, but I think it will still ultimately cause problems for Valve. If they hope to move Steam Machines, they'll have to present the public with games that have equal or better performance than Windows, Xbox One and PS4. Otherwise, it'll be a tough sell to make to the average user. The big selling point of PC gaming, even in Valve's own ads, is 1080p 60fps. They need release-day games that demonstrate that.
