Bound By Flame, an impressive looking action RPG now on SteamOS & Linux

I've had this for a long time, and it worked on 64bit wine. However, I tend not to play very long if it only runs on wine, since startup times are rather bad. Unless I really, really want to play a specific game.

The savegames, by the way, are not compatible; I had to start anew.

1080p does work on fullscreen, if your monitor is 1080p and the only one..

The weird keyboard-mappings were explained before. While other keyboard mappings don't have that much problems as the french ones do, there's often still trouble if you don't have the en_US ones. For instance, I regularly have to remap the console, because on my mapping ~ is a dead key, needed to type things like "niño" (same with other accent characters; which I really like, because it allows me to type just about every European language that uses the latin alphabet). And most games can't cope with those. So yes, allowing remapping is sensible, and this game allows it.

Anyway. I kinda like it.

...and there's the question how wine users are counted; because they sure as hell are NOT windows gamers. In principle Valve could see this in their statistics (and also the platform its running on, Linux, MacOS X or one of the *BSDs), but since they're not discerning, I guess they just count this as windows.

Quoting: ricki42Looks like they removed the SteamOS logo. Hope they get that fixed soon.

They removed the Linux Repo (or whatever these are called), so it doesn't show up for Linux anymore.

Quoting: FireDartI also bought Alien: Isolation on humble with the Windows icon since it was $12 instead of $24 on Steam but redeemed the key on steam while on a Linux client. I wonder if they still count it as Linux?

Apparently, Steam counts that platform on which the game is played most within the first 7 days of buying it:
