Looks like the DOSBox wrapped Linux version of STAR WARS: Dark Forces might make it to Steam

Quoting: Frank DrebinThe game appeared on my Steam Library but it's 0 bytes in file size. I suppose the actual game can be installed later on?
That also happens when a Linux build is provided in a special branch. Could be private though.

ARK: Survival Evolved has just had a price increase, it has more than doubled

I noticed that they reduced the price to EUR 60,- now. So, AAA level now. Still not even close to acceptable for the Linux build though.

NVIDIA 384.47 beta driver released, includes a fix for newer Feral titles

Quoting: Beamboom
Quoting: EhvisWhen you have it installed, the nvidia-settings package is basically a notifier for new driver versions because it updates to the latest version regardless of your current driver version.
I'm not sure I understood you there Ehvis, but I updated the nvidia-settings package now, but it still says NVIDIA Driver Version is at 381.22 under "X Server Information"?
The driver won't update over major versions automatically. You need to manually choose nvidia-384 and related packages to update.

Dungeon Kingdom: Sign of the Moon, a real-time dungeon crawling RPG has a Linux version

"The problem" is not valid anymore. Since the site update that uses your OS preference on the front page, I've also seen old games with Linux releases show up under "new releases". However, it could be that this only works if you only have Linux/SteamOS selected. Obviously that wasn't the case back in 2015. However, going by the number of reviews, most Windows users appear to have missed this one as well.

Quoting: poke86- The mouse works for the left-right axis only. There's supposed to be a mod to make it go up-down but I didn't bother.
Really? The early engines couldn't do vertical rotation. The first that I recall having that feature was Duke Nukem 3D (1996) and even then it didn't render properly (faked projection where vertical lines remain vertical).

Thank you for notifying me, Peapoll!

Pathfinder: Kingmaker, an isometric single-player RPG has reached the goal for a Linux version

In some of the shots, the interface is exactly the same as the one from Planescape Remastered. If that means it uses the engine, then the likelihood of a Linux release is increased massively.

I'm hoping sales of it have been good enough for Feral Interactive to port the new Shadow of War that's due out this year, as it looks amazing.
Pleeease!
Yes, please Feral!
This would be one of the games I'd happily pay full price for if it was a day-1 or even month-1 release.

I've had this in my library for a while. May as well give it a go tonight!
