A look at some interesting games and bundles on sale for Linux gamers
19 Oct 2018 at 8:07 pm UTC

Earlier this month, I took advantage of the humble-bundle sale on Hitman. 10 hours in, I hit an impassable bug with Steam/Hitman. I can't launch the game now because it infinitely states "(corrupt update files) steamapps\downloading\236870\Runtime\chunk0.rpkg" or "(corrupt update files) steamapps\downloading\236870\Runtime\dlc1.rpkg"

I have switched download regions, wiped the entire steamapps folder, deleted the app manifest, re-downloaded the whole 44 GB several times and even added a new steam library on a separate drive. Still the same error. Anyone else run into this? Not to much about it online, except for a few odd posts from other Linux users. Most have the same story. Works for many hours, then update loop. :(

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

I agree with the general sentiment of the comments implying a need for more open world games. Here's a few more titles for consideration:

  • Skyrim

  • BattleZone 2: Combat Commander (New relaunch coming to GOG in 2018)

  • Mount and Blade Bannerlord (assuming a 2018 launch, but never too early to start negotiations!)

Quoting: HmeI found that the game runs fine with "steam-runtime", but crashes with "steam-native".
Hmm, after a couple weeks of crashes, the runtime works for me now. Go figure. Not complaining though!

Do any other AMD Gpu users experience a steam crash when trying to launch DOI or Insurgency. This game ran fine with Mesa <17.1.3 and an AMD RX580, but as soon as I updated to 17.1.4 or 17.2 the game's startup crashes steam. Day of Infamy fails to load because it require the steam client running. This happens for me on both Arch and Solus. Any ideas?
