Road Redemption Combat Racer Fixed Up For Linux & SteamOS, Performs Well Now
22 Nov 2015 at 4:03 am UTC

Everybody getting crashes in RR try running the 64 bit executable. It has been very stable for me, the 32 bit default executable wouldn't even launch. Still, I've played for a couple of hours with no crashes, so I think it may be something wonky with the 32 bit build.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIt was doing at least 40 FPS @ 1080p on my 970. Devs published the wrong build.

I get random crashes in co-op races with 2 xbox controllers on linux.
I don't know if it's controller-related. My family just finished 7-8 races playing 4 player with no crashes, all xb360 controllers.

You could run stalonetray along side Unity for a nice clean system tray add-on. I overlay conky on top of the unused portion of stalonetray with cpu/ram/hdd/gpu usage data and a clock.

One neat-o (and intially unintended) side effect is that conky stays visible in full screen games, so I can watch per-core cpu usage, ram usage, gpu temps and load, etc. in-game. It gives a good idea of whether games are more cpu or gpu bound.

I use it with cairo-dock but I presume it would work more or less the same with unity.

Legends Of Eisenwald Linux Port Put On Hold, Developers Asking For Help To Port It

Do they state anywhere what the engine is written in? C? C++? If C, I might be in a position to give it a go.

Valve Rep Confirms Why Some Games Have Their SteamOS Icon Removed

Probably already suggested by someone somewhere, instead of having both tux and steamos icons cluttering up the store they could just toggle. If a game has linux depots have it use the tux icon by default. If it passes muster to run on steamos then replace the tux icon with the steamos icon.

Quoting: GuestBoth Evoland and Defender’s Quest are in my “doesn’t work” category on Steam… So it’s a good thing they removed the icon for them. (And I don’t use SteamOS.)
I agree with the evoland game it happen the same to me.
Evoland is also working ok for me . . . Defender's Quest does appear to be broken, but I don't have it listed in that category so it would have worked around the time I bought it.

Quoting: gojulThey also should remove System Shock 2, which has not been working for ages (detected as a virus at launch, lol...)
Just checked and it's working alright for me.

Quoting: lucinosI was playing these days Anodyne (on linux of course) and I was wondering why there was no steamos icon.

Anodyne plays fine on me but I remember I had to follow instructions from the arch wiki.
I've had Anodyne in my library forever and have never played it from Steam because Air won't install without gnome-keyring or kwallet on the system. Those are silly requirements to get a game running.

Sales Statistics From Super Win the Game, All Platforms Did Badly

Quoting: EikeAnybody can add games that run well on his system and he finds good work (but please nobody delete games because they, say, don't work with his AMD card).
I have a feeling this would be a constant battle. I'm up over 600 games purchased now and almost all of them run without problems on my systems. Which ones are good? Who knows, I've played maybe 10 of them for more than an hour.
