Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is officially coming to SteamOS & Linux, port by Feral Interactive
15 Sep 2016 at 7:29 pm UTC

Timothee Besset is porting now and Street Fighter V may be his next project. Techland seems to be doing their own stuff there is also the group doing stuff for Flying Wild Hog. Definitely not a one Pony show, but it would hurt damn bad to loose Feral. They definitively seem to be the most active.

That is true, I havent heard much about Aspyr or VP porting anything to Linux for sometime now. I guess Aspyr is likely to be involved in Civ6 given their previous and I know VP is working with ARMA, but their output in comparison to Feral is a drop in the ocean.

Not that Im complaining about getting ports I like Feral's work, but I fear as most AAA studios seem to outsource the ports we are in a single source market for Linux games and would hate the rug to be pulled now if something were ever to happen to Feral.
Have you actually counted the VP ports?
Witcher 2, Bioshock Infinite, Dirt Showdown, Spec Ops the Line, Saints Row II, Saints Row III, Saints Row Gat Out of Hell, Overlord, Overlord II, Arma III

That is 10 games, really close to the same numbers as Feral. Overlord just got released last month(I think). Aspyr are pretty far behind though.

VP isn't showing anything else being worked on right now, but that doesn't mean they aren't working on anything else. Or at least it doesn't mean that they don't have anything lined up after Arma III becomes current.

Feral is really lining them up though.

Darn, I was hoping for a release announcement. I mean we all already knew Deus Ex MD was coming right? This was no real news at all.

Depth Charge is on coming very soon in the Feral Radar, seems to fit Bioshock. Bioshock Remastered (2&3) "are" releasing tomorrow, which is when Feral is making a big announcement. No one else thinks this is likely?

Bioshock 2 already has a MAC so they pretty much have to be making a MAC version (I mean I guess they could just leave MAC without the remaster, but...)

Tomorrow is the Steam release of the Bioshock Collection, although that would be two games. I think Bioshock 2 is already on Mac, so that would be one game for both platforms.

Quoting: m2mg2The ca-certificates.crt not being there makes it so that Rocket League cannot contact multiplayer servers, so multiplayer does not work. Some distro's use ca-bundle.crt, which is the same thing with a different name.

If you can see the servers, but just can't join a game you can see you have a different issue. I couldn't tell if you couldn't connect to the servers or if it was something else. A bug between pulseaudio and Rocket League was making my game freeze before the patch. It may be that they fixed my issue with pulseaudio but there are more. The game apparently completely locks up if it can't initialize your audio device (pulseaudio).
Oh yeah. I can join games okay, but for the first ~30s my game is freezing and stuttering, making it unplayable. It also happens when someone new joins a game I'm in, so it seems to be related to loading assets like shaders and such. All the reports I've seen about it have been with Radeon+Mesa, so it might even be a driver issue, rather than RL.
seems like a sound conclusion

Quoting: paasistiUnfortunately this patch didn't seem to fix my loading issues in joining a game or opening menus. Let's see if a reinstall does the trick..
What Distro are you using? Have you looked into the certificate symlink fix for online multiplayer?
sudo ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

For the audio you might try killall pulseaudio before launching. I had audio issues before the patch where I had no audio and the game would freeze unless I did. Doesn't sound like the exact same but may be related.
I'm running Mint 18 with the newest Mesa release.

Didn't think that the certificate issue could be related to this as well, seeing as the game runs totally fine when there's no loading happening. Will give it a shot, though.

The update fixed my audio issue, I no longer have to issue killall pulseaudio before launching. I'm really surprised they didn't fix the certificate issue for multiplayer, where you have to link the cert bundle for some systems including Fedora. It seems like it should be a really easy fix and the issue is plastered all over the web, including the Steam forums.

I am glad they fixed the audio as it was something I had to do every time I launch the game, I only to make the symlink once.
