It's sad but SteamOS probably will die, maybe sooner than everybody expect, the same way that happened with AMD's Mantle API.

I can't really see your point here. Vulkan is a graphics API that allows developers to build cross-platform 3D application. That's a fact. SteamOS is a distribution allowing to transform any PC into a console (a bit like Kodi transforms any PC into a media center). That's another fact.

But I can't make the relation you make between those facts. To me, the arrival of Vulkan is the announcement of more game on Linux (and thus SteamOS because it's based on a Debian). And SteamOS existence is still relevant because it's the only way to transform your living room PC into a real console.

For us and developers it's fine, but for a person who learned different OS since the beginning there is no reason to move from a familiar OS to an unfamiliar OS, Vulkan will be compatible with almost everything, then, no need to change from one to other.
(ps. I still think that most of Steam Machines is overpriced)

The only way we have to turn linux more popular is teaching the people about the freedom that Stallman taught us.
I hope one day my friends be able to understand what I say.

Quoting: eddie-fossPS.: SteamOS is a mess compared with any distro, there is no consistent game/software packaging like we have in all linux distros, there is no dependencies check and there is no file duplication check.

What exactly do you mean? Steam handles the installation of games and their dependencies (the Steam Runtime) and behind the scenes SteamOS--being a Debian derivative--uses APT for package management to cater for the rest of the system.

But SteamOS is obviously not supposed to compete with all-rounders like Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch and the like. It's just a purpose-built vehicle for Steam. If that's not what you want, go ahead and run Steam on another, supported distribution like Ubuntu. Obviously you're not part of the target audience for SteamOS. Neither am I, so don't take this the wrong way.

If you do checksum for all files with same name you will see many duplicated and actually most of the games has a folder with their needed dependencies which some of them is redundant.
In my years of linux I learned that symlinks is a very eficient tool to avoid the flaw of unpatched cloned files.

352.79 same error, the devs last update killed the game, devs incompetence.

Game launch and runs without problems on my setup with 361.18-1.

Quoting: eddie-foss352.79 same error, the devs last update killed the game, devs incompetence.

I had almost the same problem, after the enhanced patch, the game suddenly crashed after the loading screen.
I tried with different graphic drivers, but finally I discover it wasn't a driver problem, it was an incompatibility between the SDL2 libraries provided by the game/Steam (I'm not sure right now) and the libasound2 library on my system.
I know, it sounds stupid, but I downgraded libasound2 and the game magically works again (Nvidia 361.28, 352.79 and 355.11) :D

And Yes, It's a mess because this is the only game on my library affected by this strange ¿"bug"?

I'm living in Japan, in my experience, the files and folders in server here are completely messed or mixed versions. Who uploaded the files did the mess and nobody cares about.

I filled a bug post 2 months ago about first bugs in their support page and the game just got worst every update:
http://en.support.techland.pl/support/tickets/14418 [External Link]
Clone: http://steamcommunity.com/app/239140/discussions/0/405692224223911272/ [External Link]

I think if I had other way instead steam to get the DyingLight latest executable, probably I can prove that they messed with japan mirror server when uploaded the files. As the dyinglitch logs says "Map version is newer than your game/editor." which means that executable is older than maps.

Thanks for all replies

Steam doesn't detects any error;
Reinstallation doesn't solve the problem;

In this case, problem is in driver side - I think. This drivers is know as buggy in many Linux games. So try install one of older driver.

352.79 same error, the devs last update killed the game, devs incompetence.

In two players, Windows hosting the game disconnects me closing the game window not often (maybe data synchronization error), when I host the game, no problem.
Above two players always crashes the game even I hosting the game.

And now the game is not working anymore...
I think the files got messed on server.

I still have bugs, no door animation wardrobes, low quality textures, too often crashes and coop connection drops.
