Have just completed the demo and found it a very enjoyable game. Specular Lighting selected caused my game to crash but apart from that the game ran smoothly and without a hitch. Recommended :-)

Quoting: CyrilNot a single word about GOG release or whatever ?
Come on Croteam ! :)

Whilst I appreciate that some Linux gamers like their games DRM-free, I am just happy that a dev such as Croteam thinks Linux is worth the effort. The games are also on sale at a stupidly cheap price on Steam too :-)

Sold a few trading cards and paid 50p for my copy of The Second Encounter :-)

Quoting: g000hHope that the Stasis Linux beta will also come to GOG - because I own it on GOG and not Steam. And obviously, I'm a Linux gamer.

Fingers crossed!

If it's any help, the Windows version ran fine with Wine when I used it last year. I started playing the first beta but found a game-breaking bug so continued with Wine! It's a worthwhile game, though.

Quoting: GuestI've dumped 8 hours into Kona .. haven't really experienced any bugs except the headlamp used for repairing the snowmobile re-appearing every time you reload the area.

I think this may be due to another known bug having recently being fixed. I won't reveal too much here though.

Played it through in about 12 hours, trying to get all the achievements. Can't say I encountered any game-breaking bugs myself. Kona might not be everyone's cup of tea but I am personally looking forward to the next in the series.

Quoting: saildataI had a few issues with it, nothing major. I'm also on the beta client, which had some recent updates for the SC.

Have you tried one of the community configs? Also, sometimes I find it helps to reboot with the controller plugged in.

'xinput' will typically list two nodes for the SC, so that's one way to quickly check if it's your system (eg udev/permissions etc) or Steam/the game.

Thanks for this. I have been using the beta client and indeed xinput does show two nodes.

The triggers do work when I run the test utility in the Steam client so I'm wondering if there is an issue between the game and my Steam client.

Also, the controller buttons seem to recognised as keys (e.g. Pg Dn, Ctrl etc) in Dirt Rally so I will have to keep digging!

Glad to help out! Enjoy the game :) (check out the project below re: the buttons)

P.S. Anyone with a Steam Controller should definitely checkout the GTK3 based configuration tool, which allows you to re-map any button without running the Steam client. Also, it's a user-mode driver so no special privileges needed.

Ah! Using this I was able to get DiRT Rally to recognise the triggers so many thanks :-)

Have just played a few laps in the game but I'm having issues with the triggers on my Steam Controller not being recognised at all in Dirt Rally. Has anyone else experienced this?

Quoting: miboThanks robvv for your response.
I think, you also use the Nvidia binary driver. MESA 11.2 is below the Hitman requirements and probably would not work well with your gtx970.

I'm in contact with the feral support, so maybe they have an idea what is wrong with my system/settings.

Good luck!

As you say, I use the binary blob version 378.13, which runs very well with my system. Hopefully you'll get yours working soon as well.
