Booting games with the Linux Steam client without noticing they are for Windows is great.

Now I will finally pick up Rage and Shadow Warrior 2.

And it is less of a hassle in Linux to get the Windows game files for a Linux Port (GZDoom, OpenLara etc.).

I had neither sound nor visual. :D

To get sound, I installed pulseaudio/alsa 32-bit.
To get visual, I set Unity to Fullscreenmode = 0.

Haven't figured out how to get the game fullscreen though. :/

Quoting: RafiLinux

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoThe Windows installer includes the Linux version called IonMaiden_Linux.bin

I extracted the files and I also installed them via WINE. I read through the text file but the .bin file is not working in any way.

Is there an install method in these readme files?

You do NOT need Wine or Windows.

These are the steps for Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install p7zip-full libsdl2-mixer-2.0.0 # Install 7-zip and SDL2-mixer
$ 7z x IonMaiden_Preview-1.0.exe # Extract downloaded exe with 7-zip
$ chmod +x IonMaiden_Linux.bin # Make Linux binary executable
$ ./IonMaiden_Linux.bin # Execute the binary

Quoting: MblackwellI believe this is a packaging mistake on the part of 3DR and the exe actually contains the Linux binary when extracted. I will try and get this fixed!

Correct. Thank you.

I downloaded the Windows Installer (IonMaiden_Preview-1.0.exe) to a new folder:

$ sudo pacman -S p7zip sdl2_mixer
$ 7z x IonMaiden_Preview-1.0.exe
$ chmod +x IonMaiden_Linux.bin
$ ./IonMaiden_Linux.bin

Quoting: HamishSo I bought the game on the 3D Realms website but I am only seeing a Windows installer for the preview campaign. No Linux to be found.

Like Hamish, I only see the Windows installer.

So I posted the question on their 3D Realms board [External Link].

Tested with Steam Client on Arch Linux:
Steam -> Settings -> Account -> CHANGE... -> Steam Beta Update -> OK

After restart Steam is in 2x scaling (Large Mode)! :D

Still hoping on 3840x2160 though (Big Picture Mode)...

I had no problems starting it on Arch Linux. However, it went into a fullscreen mode with a 1:1 pixel ratio, making the actual viewable area for the game pretty tiny at only a 320x200 area of my screen.

You can see the parameters with:

./StrangerThings --help

What I did on Arch was this: ./StrangerThings --gfxfilter stdscale 6

Because I am on 1920(x1080), which is 6 times the games resolution, i.e. 320(x200).
