Well, that simply sucks. But I'm glad that I did not pre-order the game. I really wonder if they had such a bad experience with their other games.

We also know from what's already been said, to expect Fedora Linux to be rolled out to the ThinkPad P1 Gen2 and ThinkPad P53

Quoting: CatKillerFedora were very insistent that they'd only take part if they were using standard images of software from Fedora's repos.

I really wonder how this is supposed to work. As far I can tell, all ThinkPad P53 have a nVidia GPU. Without the proprietary driver features are missing (obviously GPU power, but also all display outputs are handled by the nVidia GPU and the power consumption could be higher).

Quoting: drmothAnyone else have this problem?

Not exactly your problem, but I'm getting segmentation faults when starting with the Freedesktop SDK 19.08 on the GOG release.

To run the game, I've to delete the provided OpenAL (Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/OpenAL) and libvlc (RSG/Plugins/) libraries.

OpenAL must be provided by the system (works with the one from the Freedesktop SDK 19.08) but replacing libvlc is not so simple since the VlcMedia-Plugin [External Link] uses a VLC snapshot instead of a stable release (no idea what's the idea behind this, it's only used to playback plain h264 video & AAC audio) and the locations seem to be hardcoded VlcMedia #17 [External Link] (the user is probably a Everspace developer).

But then the game works here without videos.

So, Humble Bundle is really gone and will never return. That is a really sad anniversary.

I really had hoped that another "Humble Indie Bundle" would be something big. Instead it's just another Humble "Insert any name because we really don't care" Bundle which is neither cross-platform nor DRM-free.

Additionally, the game selection is not great. Dustforce and Hotline Miami were already in previous "Humble Indie Bundles" and probably some other bundles, too.

Quoting: vipor29UPDATE: found the problem,its the flatpak they give you.do not use the flatpak version of steam,just get it direct from the steam website.

Just update your sandbox, e.g.:
flatpak override --user --filesystem=/mnt/[mountpoint] com.valvesoftware.Steam

There's also a graphical tool for this: Flatseal @Flathub.com [External Link].

Quoting: JarnoShoulnd't Metro Exodus be EGS exclusive?

I don't think EGS exclusivity applies since Stadia isn't a PC shop but it's own platform.

Quoting: ArdjeFlatpak does not sandbox applications *unless* the flatpak requests it. It would be interesting once it starts enforcing it.
I don't know how steam flatpak is packaged though. With or without a request for containerizing.

It's the other way around: Everything is sandboxed & the application requests (at install time) access to resources. By using Portals access can also be handled at runtime, but this is limited to the available portals:
Flatpak Sandboxes [External Link]
Flatpak Sandbox Permissions [External Link]

Steam requires a lot of access but not to the whole root- or home-folder (Steam Flatpak manifest [External Link]).

Quoting: GryxxSo, how you can install games to non-system drive? As i recall, flatpak Steam is isolated from the rest of OS. You cannot go out of flatpak's file system.

You can configure the sandbox (I don't think there is a GUI, yet): Flatpak Sandbox Permissions [External Link]

You can put your Flatpaks anywhere you want, too: Flatpak installation [External Link]

Quoting: DerpFoxWich is not quite the same thing.

Sorry, it's not their fault when you interpret more into an answer than there is. If they'd planned/wanted to announce, that it comes to Linux, then they'd say it comes (later) to Linux.

Quoting: GuestGoG is just proving that "DRM-free" is just a marketing pitch for them and they don't really care about DRM or users's freedom. Steam on linux gives more freedom than windows/mac with gog games.

Quiz: Guess the company/platform

Company/Platform A: Publicly reimburses customers on multiple occasions after the sold product does not deliver content which is available from a different vendor.

Company/Platform B: Does nothing on multiple occasions after the sold product removes "content" which makes usage of the product impossible.

Quoting: ArthurWork on the soccer mode was started in 2012, before Rocket League.

Quoting: orochi_kyoWow, downloading. Funny thing how Soccer mode were done much before than Rocket League were released.

The first Rocket League is actually from 2008 (Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars @Wiki [External Link]). It's just not a well known game (I wonder if the title has something to do with that…).
