HITMAN released for Linux, initial port report and two gameplay videos
22 Feb 2017 at 7:14 pm UTC

Quoting: miborobvv, what steam version do you use?
The one from the Suse repository or did you download it directly from a steam web page?

Unfortunately, I can't get Hitman running on Suse 42.2.
I also tried to start it from the steam gui (crashes immediately) and from the terminal as you described. There I get the feral launcher and can click on PLAY. In the loading screen it then crashes :-(

I'm using a RX480 with MESA 17.0 from the Suse Xorg repo.

Did you do something else to get it running?
I'm using steam version 1.0.0.54-3.1 from http://download.opensuse.org/update/leap/42.2/non-oss/ [External Link] and Mesa 11.2.2-166.1 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Leap:/42.2:/Update/standard/ [External Link].

I do know that some packages from more up-to-date OpenSUSE repos sometimes cause conflict with Feral games. The other thing that I have which is different is the graphics card: mine is a GTX 970 which might make quite a bit of difference, though I see that someone here is using an RX460 and getting a playable game.

Hope this helps.

Quoting: DJVikingHas anyone been able to run this game on OpenSUSE Leap 42.2? The game would not launch on mine.
Whilst I don't yet have Hitman, I do sometimes have this problem with Feral games. Have you tried launching it from the command line? That often works for me.

At the moment I cannot get Mad Max to run, though it might be to do with the latest Nvidia graphics driver.
As an update to this, I now have the game.

Go to the [..]steamapps/common/Hitman™/bin directory and launch ./HitmanPro from there. Game then launches fine for me.

Quoting: KelsHmm, starts on the wrong monitor with no options, and then hangs on the first loading screen. Not an auspicious start.

Edited to add: Second try things worked properly, but got bored when I scoured the whole level and still can't find an item I need, and the bobbing as you walk was making me start to feel ill.
One item seems to be very well hidden but I got them all eventually. The jump scares are rather good and I look forward to chapter two.

As for the monitor issue, I had to edit the prefs file in .config/unity3d/TheMeatly Games/Bendy and the Ink Machine/ but after that it started fine. Unity really has fun with multiple monitors at different resolutions :-)

I got killed by Samsai many times. I feel honoured :-)

STASIS, the amazing looking point-and-click, sci-fi, horror game is being actively worked on for Linux
18 Dec 2016 at 9:40 pm UTC

Played the Linux beta of Stasis and it was very enjoyable with an ending that caught me unawares. Had to complete the final section of the game in Wine, though, as there was one show-stopping bug which I couldn't work around.
Definitely recommended, however :-)

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

Doom (2016): the only one I have yet to play :-)

Black Mesa, the fan-made remake of Half-Life is rather unstable on Linux right now

Have completed it on my OpenSUSE system, however I did have a repeated crash very early on in the game. Managed to spam-save my way through it!

Mad Max released for Linux, port report and review available
20 Oct 2016 at 11:57 pm UTC

I'm sorry to say, but this didn't help. Is there any possibility to get an error log or something like that?

Some system information:
KDE Plasma 5.8
i7-3960x
GTX 980 Ti (370.28)
Kernel 4.8 (also tried 4.7)

thanks for your effort :)
I have been having a problem with the latest Plasma desktop and Mad Max (and DoW2) as well. There seems to be an incompatibility with kwin and the game. If you log into a different desktop session, the game should run.

'Enclave', the 2003 action RPG now has a Linux beta that uses Wine

I've been having some weird issues with the game running way too fast!

The text scrolls by very quickly during the video just before the prison scene, but the audio runs at normal speed. Once my character appears in the prison, he jerks around erratically and any key I press results in him running into a wall...

Anyone else had this?
