Quoting: PieGamer314Strange, it never broke for me. I opened it up as soon as it finished updating and it worked just fine.

what GPU? what drivers?

I have nvidia-381.22 and vulkan crashes for me. I am just finishing recompiling libreoffice and ill try with the launch string from above

I bought this when it became available for linux BUT it never worked and no sign of help from team17.
I got a refund as well. If it was just linux related I would have persevered and found something gentoo specific BUT even windows users couldn't launch

if this "free mode" is available for all I will re-install to try to see if it works & if this mode works then ill get the game again. BUT if it is a bolt on for the present game... no indication it will work

Quoting: SpiteSo many "if it comes out it's insta buy" comments and they are worrisome to me. I mean I understand that you guys want to support linux as a gaming platform and developers who port their games to it but this kind of mindset is a little stupid. I mean, that's how preorder culture came to be.

We should not buy crap games or crap ports just because devs decided to release on linux. I'm not saying that it will be either of these 2 things, I just wanted to put it out there

I completly <3 DoW1 (and also WH40k, tabletop'ed as a kid) so immediately this has raised my interest.
I own all the DoW1 expansions and it is a great RTS game but ... no linux

I bought DoW2 (and was the last thing I dual-booted for) and was extremely disappointed... The single player camp was a great story but it was no more a classic RTS & more a MOBA ... The lack of building killed it for me.

I good mate of mine is still well into these games and beta's them all and he insisted DoW2 brought back aspects of classic RTS when they brought in the IG expansion (would make sense.. they are designed to hold a line... how can you hold a line without forming a line). He is presently playing DoW3 and is liking it. So between DoW3 possibly coming to linux I get to hear from him

instant buy from me as well if true.
I already have DoW2 from when I still dual-booted for gaming...

Well had a chance to play this for an hour today.. correction, my 6yo daughter did, she would not let me have the controller (except when it was tricky)

Once the libudev tweak is done the game launches just fine with a controller. The game was nice and smooth via steam link and no need to configure the controller.

The game is a nice open-ish world platform game with mini puzzles (got beaten in some damn race).

I haven't tried the arcade section yet.
It's a nice fun platformer and seems good for kids or general time wasting

ok it looks like it is hte libudev that ships with steam clashing with the distro provided layer...
I am now playing via steam controller. Ill try via SteamLink tomorrow (I just need to get to the 1st save point because the 1st cust scene is unskippable and it is now damn annoying)

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: Naibthe game crashes with any controller plugged in ... YET reports are saying to stand a chance to play well you need a controller HERPDERP...

This explains why the game crashed for me via steamLink. Went in via the desktop and yup.. crash

Yet another reason for me to love my Steam Controller :D
