It does work for me with the workarounds from the top of the page. As most other people, I couldn't start the game after the latest update and so I went straight to GOL, hoping to find more info here. Sure as hell I did find it! :) Hopefully, they're gonna fix this soon, the scale of the issue suggests very poor testing routine (for Linux at least).

If they were able to fix the lags somehow, I'd be more excited. The game can be very frustrating if you get get shot through walls or by player who's not even facing you. Other than that, I already had almost 60hrs of fun with this game, much to my own surprise :)

I wonder though if there's anyone else with bumblebee for whom the game would become almost unplaybale due to FPS drop since v378 of nvidia driver. I was only able to resume playing by disabling bumblebee and the integrated graphics :/

With the 378 driver, Ballistic Overkill dropped to barely 30FPS when running with optirun/primus. After two weeks of frustrations, research and playing with configurations, I gave up and disabled bumblebee altogether. Then, with only the dedicated graphics enabled in xorg.conf, the performance increased for more than 400%. That's a very frustrating development as I prefer having switchable graphics. I'm very eager to try the latest drive tonight to see if things have improved for me.

I assume the new female character will massacre me no less than the original male :O :D

This looks nice, maybe I'll get it for my son!

Btw. the game's page on Steam currently reads "2 MB available space" under Linux requirements (as opposed to 2GB for Windows). I assume this is just a typo and not something to be worried about regarding the Linux version :huh: :D

It could feel boring and repetitive over time, but not to me! Somehow, I enjoyed the first game and its visuals a lot. Being able to play it on Linux has been a great benefit too. I very much hope I could say the very same thing about the sequel. Please!

I bought this one quite some time ago, it does look very nice. Unfortunately, I couldn't bring myself to play it for more than few minutes. For some reasons, it gave me motion sickness every time I've tried. I've alternated between different monitors and tv screen, but nothing helped to mitigate the nausea :( I don't blame developers though as this is a very subjective feeling. Also, this game might not be for everyone, my plan was to play through it with my kids.

This shows the kind of place most politicians should be banished to.
