Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTNothing, you just pay extra. I did never understood why I should be doing so. Claiming that company is dedicaded to Linux is somehow true, but also on Lenovo Thinkpads and Dell Latitudes Linux runs pretty fine as well as the overall hardware quality is much better. Ofc they don't have gaming mashines - I'm talking about business class.
That's what I thought then, thanks :)

As in issues with hardware? Wouldn't Ubuntu have support too if it was installed on my PC?
The big thing is that they deeply test and make sure their hardware works perfectly with Ubuntu, they even write custom code (which I believe they contribute to the linux kernel, if I'm not mistaken) to make problematic hardware work as it should. They really deserve our support, even if they are a bit pricey.

Stone Story looks like a very clever ASCII-styled RPG that will have Linux support

Liam, seems like you messed up the link - it's pointing to "https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/StoneStoryRPG.com"

This does look like an interesting game though! Will definitely keep this one in mind

Hm, that's very strange.
You could try to message them here:
http://www.ballisticoverkill.com/contact-us [External Link]
or, [email protected] (listed on the steam support page)
or maybe their forums.

EDIT: If you get it fixed, let me know and we can play a round or two :D

Quoting: CAPTNCAPSThe game seems nice, just tried it out.
But is there a way to disable mouse acceleration?
I'm baffled a modern game even uses that... and doesn't give me a menu option for it...
I'll have to refund it otherwise :/
While I'm no developer nor an expert on the matter; there is no mouse acceleration built into the game as far as I know. As long as mouse acceleration is disabled in the system you shouldn't have any issues.

I see in your profile that you use arch:

Does disabling it in X help at all?

Quoting: TcheyI didn't manage to enjoy it, i've refunded it on xmas events. I like when if FPS have classes, they have some strong profiles. Here, they are all more or less soldiers with more or less different guns, and a few tricks, so for this i prefer simply no class, only inventory management.
Everyone is of course entitled to their own opinion, however I do disagree. The classes feel very different with very different strengths and uses. If you'd like a solid FPS then I'd really recommend giving it another go, especially considering all of the great patches and changes recently.

Highly recommended! I had completely forgotten that it was an early access release before being reminded by this article, that's how good it is.
