Same here! Can't wait for CS:GO, loved Arms Race mode. Definitely awesome that they're porting all their old titles, Valve is definitely a hard working company (not like the slackers over at EA/Activision/Blizzard, nasty).

Wait a second, this game was built using XNA ?!
How is it possible that they have a Linux port? If a Linux port is possible with XNA, that means Terraria can be ported as well!

When DD wouldn't crash for me, I would be able to play some levels. Problem was that the mana couldn't be picked up, and the mouse was really weird. I couldn't turn around, and the keyboard keys would only strafe left or right. Couldn't move straight or back. I really hope they fix that mess with this release... My old humble bundle 7 page still shows DD as being the old one, no update.

On a side note, my Steam Linux Library has Dungeon Defenders in it now. It's under a password-protected Beta, which I really hope means the developers are looking into Linux gamer's issues with DD. Past several months nothing has been going on in the Icculus bugzilla regarding DD, but today there are some new bugs added and even some resolved issues.

It'd be a real shame if only Ryan Gordon was working on it, without any of the original developers helping out.

DBB is not bad, after trying it for myself I made a gameplay video of it running in Ubuntu 12.10:

I'm surprised that for an Alpha, it didn't crash at all. I do hope they provide a way to change graphics settings in the final release. The game only plays at fullscreen so far. Would be really awesome if they managed to integrate co-op in this. I can imagine laughing a lot while playing with my friends.

Killing Floor still has it's textures issue. It's been the same build for the past several months (v1046).

AMD users shouldn't see any texture issues, it's an Nvidia issue only. I'm using Nvidia now, when I was using a HD6850 there were no texture issues. First game where Nvidia has the problem, not AMD. 310.14 drivers.

I run the game at full settings, but I read somewhere that if you set the textures to low or medium then it works fine. Doesn't for me though.

Definitely worth the purchase, I got Guns of Icarus during the sale :P

A short gameplay video I made of it, running in Ubuntu 12.10 with maxed out graphics if you're interested in seeing how it runs:

This game runs really well, and the Quick Match option makes it a no-hassle for me to join games. If you get disconnected, there's even a button to reconnect to that game (albeit, limited time though).

Problems I've had with the game are only two: It takes a good 5 seconds or so whenever loading a map, it's textures and models. Secondly, the mouse sensitivity is too high! I have a Razer DeathAdder, and even after using xinput to reduce the sensitivity beyond Ubuntu's standard limits, it's still too fast. A short nudge to left or right results in a 180 degree turn. Sometimes even 360 degrees turn.

Hmm, it's definitely peculiar. Whenever I run "Verify Integrity of Game Cache", it will say 7 things need to be redownloaded. It's always 52MB, so I'm guessing I have a corrupted download. Redownloading would normally fix it, but it isn't doing that this time.

If I were to run the launcher from the game folder, it works fine. But if I try to run it from Steam, that's when there's a problem.

That looks like an amazing upgrade in terms of graphical fidelity. I wonder about gameplay though. Shame there's no co-op.

After reading that thread avarisclari, I'm not so inclined to purchase Anomaly 2 now...
Just like Dungeon Defenders and Killing Floor. Leaving bugs in for months, till no one cares anymore. I even reported the textures bug on KFs forums, but no reply no update. Maybe Anomaly 2 won't be like this, but maybe it will too. Now I have doubt.
