Kalypso Media announces Sudden Strike 4 strategy game, with Linux support

Nice job from Kalypso and developer!

I'm going to skip this one because I own way too many similar games that I still have to play, but surely I'll check this out in the future (aka discounted) :)

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overlord, Overlord: Raising Hell and Overlord II (new port!) released on Steam for Linux

I tried them all and they launch and run fine.
Unfortunately there is a huge mouse issue, it seems to be very delayed, this makes them unplayable to me..

If you move it slowly for 20cm and then back for 20cm to the other side, you can see that the camera movement is absolutely NOT synchronized!

If you have mesa you can try Wine Gallium Nine, i tried the first one some months ago and it ran great :)

Progress on our User Statistics Page has continued, feedback requested

Hey Liam good job! it's definitely cool to see all these infos :)

As I'm using a Window Manager only and probably won't use a DE for a long time, it would be cool to have some of them listed and to be selected only when "Windows Manager Only" is selected.

In that case it would be also cool if it appears instead of Desktop Environment when clicking "View Pc Info".

Last thing, a dedicated box for them would be great on user statistic page, just after the desktop environment

get well soon!

Life is Strange released for Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts and a port report included

Quoting: MblackwellAlright but:
Quoting: leillo197570-80 fps in High Quality with a GTX950-2GB and Intel i5-2500 (3.3GHZx4). A really decent port. Good job, Feral!

I played about an hour and the game seems to be interesting. I will play it more this weekend
I checked online and that's about the speed that Windows users were getting with that hardware.
The problem here is that this Feral port requires way more hardware power to get the job done..
The requirements differences between Window$ and Linux (native) are huge

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows Vista
Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent
Memory: 2 GB RAM
Graphics: ATI or NVidia card w/ 512 MB RAM (not recommended for Intel HD Graphics cards)
DirectX: Version 9.0
Storage: 5 GB available space

MINIMUM:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 / SteamOS 2.0
Processor: Intel i3 or AMD FX6300
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA 640 (1GB), AMD R9 270, Intel Iris Pro 6200 or better
Storage: 16 GB available space
Additional Notes: NVIDIA GPU's require Driver version 367.27 (tested). AMD and Intel GPU's require MESA 11.2 (tested). AMD GPUs are not supported on SteamOS

Unfortunately not everyone have a powerhouse at home, and I was just pointing out that, on a not so powerful system, run the game with Wine is better and it is closer to the experience that you can have on Window$ (with the same hardware).

I know that my cpu sucks, is old etc. and most of the people here have an i5 or i3 at least..

But what if they port a game that has an i5 2500 as minimum requirement on Window$???
Could that port be playable with a "good pc" or just with an overclocked 6700K???

I'm not trying to trow sh*t at Feral here, quite the opposite, i'm trying to send a constructive feedback, hoping to get less "hardware selective" ports in the future
