I keep telling myself that one day I will get to sit down and play a full game of Crusader Kings II, I still have yet to make it through the tutorial :( I just have far too many games to play.

Quoting: nocriHow large is the game folder ? Anyone tried to preload it on a ramdisk and lauch from there ?

Why would you even want to do this?

To make file access much faster, and thus (hopefully) remove stutter.

Reminds me of when I upgraded my Atari Mega STe to 4MB of ram, created a 2MB ramdisk and copied Ultima 6 into it. There was little to no load times for any of it, it was fantastic! I just had to remember to copy it out of the ramdisk when I wanted to save it :D now that I have a working one again, I think I'm going to do that very thing.

Local Co-op is far more iseful to me than LAN play for most games. It's why I bought the Steam Link and have xbox 360/Steam controllers. I try to play a lot of games with my brother, and that means it sucks to have to buy multiple copies, especially if the game requires more resources so I would have to build a separate gaming machine, etc. Serious Sam 3 does it right.

Anyone know if it supports local co-op play? I generally play games with my brother that way, since his computer is too old to play most games these days, plus you only need one copy of the game. Not that I don't already have several copies of this game, but I would love to play it locally with split screen.

Ha, let's face it, Age of Conan was at least semi-popular because you could run around topless and make your breasts as large as you wanted. Personally I like that they did decent justice to the Conan lore. For those that were fans of the Arnold movies.. they weren't quite there....

I have yet to play Rust (refused to buy it in early access, but I think I got it through humble bundle). Some have said it's not playable for them from Linux. I thought it looked awesome, but after my experience with 7 days to die, I had decided simply to not play it, but now I think it'd be kind of funny to find out of I'm a chick or dude based on my steamID!

Quoting: psyminI tried HTC Vive out last night on Gentoo and Ubuntu. SteamVR wouldn't function for me. It acted exactly as it does without a device connected. Alas.

But there have been recent steam updates for SteamVR so I think they're still on track to support us.

This is the kind of input I wanted to hear! SteamVR is installable in Linux. I don't get my Vive until May. Do you have the udev rules for Vive installed? Debian unstable has a steam-devices package with a udev line in it. If you could check that and see if SteamVR works, that can at least shut up the naysayers.

Ha, you don't know if you should like this or not. "Didn't make enough money, but we may do it anyhow! But then we won't bother supporting it..." Unfortunately the style reminds of Firewatch and that game only managed to depress me, and I don't play video games to be depressed.

Quoting: bubexelI preordered a HTC vive, Soon i will know how it works on my fedora :D

Ah this is great, then this community will hear something about this as soon as possible. I am dying to hear how it plays!

Sure, as soon i get it i will make some replies with info.

I have one coming in May as well, I will gladly report how well it works on Debian Sid. By the way, you CAN install SteamVR in Linux, but besides putting a little icon next to the big picture mode one, it doesn't seem to do anything yet. Everything I have read points to them having Linux support, even a "steam-devices" package in Debian sid has udev rules for the Vive.

I started playing Pillars of Eternity, got to some underground temple and haven't played it since.... I have too many stinking games to play! Also, been playing Divine Divinity Original Sin with my brother, besides needing to start over for the enhanced edition sort of bumming us out, we are getting back into swing with it. Kind of hard playing multiple RPGs with thick story at the same time, since you start mixing up plot points... it's like reading Game of Thrones all over again...
