I bought the game a while back, but I too am waiting for the final release before diving in. I really liked what I saw though.

Quoting: Feist...all the audio in either japanese or english. (japanese voices provides the proper atmosphere, or so I feel)

That's awesome. :D

Looks very nice. I'll get it if it comes to Linux.

Liam,

Did you ever get a key from the company? I'm interested to hear your thoughts (and a video stream, if possible).

Nearly 4 years later, Steam still won’t close to the tray icon on Linux without workarounds

But while we're on the subject of Steam issues, can we please have working full screen videos within the steam client? Unless someone has a solution I don't know about. I've definitely googled it, but couldn't find anything useful.

I was just about to post how mine closes to the tray just fine on Mint 18. And it always has. But I decided to check the desktop file, and it appears Mint might have done that for me, as that command you mentioned is already on the Exec entry.

You might want to avoid the Nvidia 375.20 driver, Nvidia recommend downgrading

mdiluz said on the telegram chat (thanks search feature!) that it only affects Kepler and Maxwell based Nvidia cards. I have a Pascal based card, and have had no issues with this driver.

One interesting tidbit.. I am running Linux Mint 18. I realized very recently that I do not get tearing with Vsync turned off in games. BUt I also did not set up the ForceCompositionPipeline in xorg.conf (in fact, there is no xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d directory in /etc/X11 on Mint 18). But still no tearing. I don't know how that is working, and I don't know if it has always been this way with Mint 18, or if it's something with the newest driver. Maybe that option is somehow embedded in the newest driver, and if you have manually added it, maybe it is somehow causing a conflict and the performance issue?

Just a heads up 'Firewatch' is currently rather broken on Linux

This is a game I intend to play at some point. Hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

The latest Steam Client Beta should fix downloads and updates on Linux

Quoting: Guest
Quoting: AnxiousInfusionOooh! That's why I couldn't download Planet Explorers.
Yes, that one was particularly adversely affected :)

It still didn't work even when I reverted back to the stable client, so either something cached on my end prevented it, or maybe on Valve's side. It downloaded fine now after this update, will play it again once it is out of beta.

On Settings | Downloads, There's an option to Clear Download Cache. That might have worked.
