there's no adverts to be found anywhere on the website and never will be.

states no advertisement by advertising for support


in all seriousness, keep up the good work. There have been some fun kid games that I would never have heard about if it wasn't' for this site. Likewise keeping the linux-gaming concept alive is all good

woohoo! <3 RTS

There is a lot of industry interest in Linux right now as a game platform. I am not at liberty to explain why but Vulkan is a real game changer.

what do they mean? are dev's really looking at linux or are they seeing vulkan as the main benefit (break from DX) and a path to linux is easier if they so wished?

Stardock showing an interest in linux is great but counter to what they have done... so what do they know

Oh boy, I hope this does come. RTS is what got me into gaming and I still fall back on it.

Stardock are going all in. Vulcan AND Linux....
This is no longer a new game so I wonder if it is being used as a development platform for something else as this will be costing them alot

Quoting: stormtuxHi all, I just installed "Lego: the Hobbit" thanks to the Humble Store and the game works fine except for a problem with the controllers. I have two steam controllers and I cannot use them together to play in split-screen coop. The first controller works fine but when I enable the second it will ignore it. I tried to let SC-controller handle the controllers and sometimes it works, but it is not practical to re-launch every time Steam to let SC-controller take ownership of the devices.

For now i solved creating a new configuration for a controller binding the keyboard keys to the controller. This way the game thinks I'm playing with the keyboard and it works fine. The only problem left are the on-screen help messages that shows the keyboard icons instead of the controller icons.

Have someone else had a problem like this? Is there a cleaner way to solve the problem?

You need to make sure both controllers are on before you launch the game, then it is just a case of pressing the > to the right of the steam button

Quoting: LeopardYou should give it a go for Lego Lotr also Liam. That is a really funny experience.

No spoilers! that was the last lego game my family were able to play (last one released for the Wii) and it friggen glitched and we couldn't get further than the stairs of Cirith Ungol .

I have to agree with this. As a massive lego fan and two kids that love lego, the lego games are great.
We have a Wii but they stopped making games for that.

When Proton was 1st released I went and grabbed Lego:Incredibles but there were some real big issues with it and Proton (sound and glitch).

The recent beta's ( 3.16-5 onwards) pretty much solved this. The Xaudio merge was a major fix for sound as the lego games moved to xaudio from around 2009. Likewise further improvements have fixed the glitches

At the moment we are working our way through Incredibles & StarWars TFA before jumping into Hobbit (recently got for free!!!) and then Jurassic world

Quoting: dubigrasuRegardless of the current situation, is still a bit sad news though. I remember these games way, way back supporting Linux when few others did.
Edit: and oh, it worked (at least at one point) very well on Linux, I have this comparison from few years ago:

I remember that, I was working with [S2]Slacker as he was really optimising OGL. I was busy doing regression testing of all artefacts for what he was doing.

The most disappointing out of all this is the Linux build was the easiest and most reliable to maintain. OSX was a pig and windows would break every now and again....

Quoting: GuestDid anyone even play this anymore?

Up until last month I still did.. I had about 2-5min queue times so it was alive enough to be commited.

I am really pissed at what Frostburn have done with this game. I had been playing it since Closed beta... Did tones on linux techsupport, was a global moderator, wrote and vetted in-game bots, helped with ogl stuff and SBT.

Then a month or so ago they released the two kongor update (which i hated in SBT) which completely changed the game for the worse as it was simply Kongor's of Newerth as well as BridgeWars (they messed with midwars soo much).

That said, the game was on its final last legs as Garena went into the US offices a couple of months ago and basically immediately terminated peoples contracts and a subset was given extensions of 3months (prob some golden parachute... ) to finalise aspects of the game.
The game is essentially dead in NAEU while in asia it is doing ok.

S2 fked with a good title and WZA sealed it with his bad balancing. It is/was an extremely toxic game but the plays were good. Sadly missed, especially due to all I put in but meh, bad management is bad

I am glad I jumped to DOTA when I did, it has vastly improved from when I first tried it (post launch) and it got me out of HoN before they pulled the rug.

I can't wait for this!
Psychonauts1 is great and considering both my kids are getting into open-world platformers, this is perfect!

I might have to contact humbleBundle because I can't activate my Psychonauts1 on steam so they can start playing that
