Quoting: Numeric

Quoting: AciD@Numeric, just to be sure, run a memtest to check that your RAM is 100% ok.
What you are describing reminds me of weird heisenbugs due to faulty RAM.

@AciD, pb Thanks for your thoughts in troubleshooting my issue. I went ahead and purged my system of all traces of steam (files, libs, steam-runtime), rebooted my Arch box, reinstalled steam and downloaded just Hitman. Many hours later, I found the download successful and now the game launches! I have no clue where the final issue was, but it works nows. Unforunately, I have a day or two of GiBs to re-download :( Oh well, now back to agent 47 and Colorado!

Hi Numeric, I'm so glad you finally got it going. Aint computers weird at times? No matter what you do to fix issues, it don't wanna work, then you do the same over and over again to try to fix issue and still does not work. Usually all there was to do to fix issue was a simple reboot. Time and time again I have had issues with computers that do the thing you want them to do one day, but not the next. Searched the Internet looking for answers to no avail and wasted hours trying to fix the issue, last ditch attempt a reboot and then it works.
I sometimes wonder whether computers are becoming more conscious, of what us the users are doing with them, in other words stubborn, computer says "NO!" attitude. Or it might be power-surge, WI-FI microwaves that are bombarded all around us 24/7 where ever you are in the world and whether or not you use WI-FI as all mobile media has it, which can interact or interfere with the running of computers.

Though in your case purging your system of all traces of steam, then rebooting, reinstalling and downloading GIBs. I backup my games through steam onto another hard drive, formatted as FAT32, called Stuffed which is a 2TB storage USB 3.0, saves downloading them again, plus it will update whilst installing from your hard drive.

I really hope it is Life is Strange 2, or Shadow of The Tomb Raider, as Square Enix do like Linux, especially Feral Interactive's continued support, with Square Enix. Shadow of The Tomb Raider I managed to Live Stream a couple of hours of through Proton, but because it's GPU heavy it crashed. Plus my Graphic card is only 1050ti which is plugged straight to the motherboard. For SOTTR to work properly you need a 1080ti with either 8GB or 11GB of ram on board. I had to run it with the lowest settings I could, in order for not to have Lara and Jona to have age spots floating around their faces. I'm really loving Proton at the moment and I'm trying to convey over how important it is, for game developers to put some Vulcan into their coding, just to give us Linux gamers a chance. We have the power thanks to Steam, Code-Weavers, Wine to play triple A games in Linux, just wish that game developers would see that Linux is a good platform too.

When I played this on Windows 10 about a month ago it crashed big time, processor which is an AMD A10-5800K APU Quad core got way too hot, but then again Windows runs way too many things in the background, plus it takes the whole OS into running one simple thing. So really looking forward to the port, so I can finally nearly say bye, bye Windows for good. I do not have Windows installed anymore, simply because Linux is getting so good now.

I'm absolutely like that cow, you know the one in the nursery rhyme? Over the moon. Well done Feral Interactive I already own the game but shall be donating the full price of this game to you fabulous people. Thank you so much. The only other Windows game we need on Linux now, well for me anyway is GTA5, but I cannot see that happening at all.

If Feral were to bring any of these games to Linux, that we have listed and if anyone already owns them on another platform, then re-buy them or donate to Feral Interactive and every other game porter to Linux. The amount of hard work and dedication these porters do is truly amazing and not to mention the fantastic programmers out there that made these wonderful individual, Linux OSes for us to play our games on. Sorry speech over.

The problem with porting games to Linux, is getting the backing from the original publishers.
Here is my list of day dream games that I wish and no doubt a lot of other people do? Would like to see come to Linux. I unfortunately do not own a touch screen device, so am not a member of Twitter, so let's hope to God that Feral Interactive read our lists.

1 Metal Gear Solid (Twin Snakes) Nintendo Game Cube version.
2 All the G. T. A games
3 All the Jak & Daxter games (Probably not as never has Naughty Dog published to PC or at least I don't think so.)
4 All the Ratchet & Clank games.
5 The Getaway 1 & 2 (Yes they're old but when I played them on my Playstation 2 they were stunning. Fully mapped streets of London and a cracking plot to boot.)
6 (We Can Dream) Nintendo's versions of Resident Evil, or the Windows version remastered HD version of Nintendo Game Cube Capcom's remake of such a brilliant scary, hammed acting B movie game. Plus all the rest of the Resident Evil games, as we don't have very many Zombie games on Linux.
7 Whether or not the rumors are true about Feral bringing Rise of the Tomb Raider to Linux I wish it so much, so this is at number 7.
8 Again they are old but brilliant, as I don't care what a game looks like, it is the playability that counts and these games still hold true today, Medal Of Honor the very first one on the Play-Station one and all the others, that were released on PS2.
9 Golf games are good, but the Windows version of this next game was rubbish, compared to the PS2's version and I know it won't happen anyway but here goes it is Tiger Woods 2004, the PS2 version, as the PC version was too tricky to get to grips with.
10 In at ten, although these games are pretty old now, the game play was far superior for it's time and the animations were fantastic, did I mention the atmosphere? Well if I didn't then on the edge of your seat you'd be, God Of War series from PS2 days, has to be in this list as I still have not completed them yet. I was debating where abouts to put them in the list, but as they say leave the best till last.

I've just been playing Tomb Raider 2013 lately, but after I have completed that I will go onto yes it is an old game, but it is full of atmosphere and the game is Fahrenheit, Originally out on the PS2 but got a Windows and Linux HD remake. Then after I have finished that I will go on to conquer the massively fun ODDWORLD New N Tasty remake, which is 3D and 2D combined. Then will have to try my hand at Dying Light, once I have some spare cash, but before that Left For Dead 2 will have to be completed, shame we can't have the first one, but hey ho. Then just to calm down from all the zombie killing we'll go onto Grim Fandango Remastered.

These games above, apart from Dying Light are all the Linux games I own at the moment, real life gets in the way unfortunately.

My dream would be stranded on an Island with just me my future wife, Totally unlimited free broadband, my Linux Computer but upgraded to a super computer with around 80,000 Quad Core processors that all run as one massive processor the latest in Graphic Card technologies 100,000GB of gaming Ram, 68 trillion TB and a nice Cinema screen sized monitor, to play my games on through Linux of course, I can but dream.

Quoting: nIQnutnwithout demo, I won't buy it due to nvidia driver requirement.

You can still use the driver you are using at the moment. I'm using 361.42 driver with Ubuntu Mate 16.04, that is the recommended driver that's in the proprietary list.

I have been waiting for this, since they announced it coming to Linux. Feral are brilliant at porting games and will no doubt of made a fantastic job on this game. I have been a fan of this game since it's release to the PC in 2013 and now it's out for Linux, no more slowing down or stuff running in the background like on Windows, with Anti-virus and other things constantly slowing down your gaming experiences.
