Just a heads up, PAYDAY 2 is currently broken again on Linux
21 May 2017 at 6:26 am UTC

Quoting: niarbeht
Quoting: Dribbleondo
Quoting: Redneck
Quoting: MightyTrollzorseems to run again after another 1.9 gig patch (at least the safehouse does). I also found a mod that enables coop with windows users even with the downgraded linux version (just search in the linux subforum of the payday2 discussions on steam)
Someone on the steam forum [External Link] says that days 1-4 are working, i really hope they does :D

Edit: And yeah, it works :D
I am very aware that this is like, 7 months old, but hi, I'm the guy who fixes Linux Matchmaking, you're welcome =)
Have you considered doing an interview with GoL someday? I have no idea if Liam or the staff would be interested in it at all, but I'd be interested in hearing what challenges/etc. there are.
I could talk about the basics of Payday 2 modding, but I don't forsee me talking about lua code at length, largely because A: I'm not that much of a coder, and B: It was a really, REALLY easy fix.

Also, Sort of self-advertisement, but I made a video about this particular matchmaking incident awhile ago where I talk a bit about QA testing: View video on youtube.com ,and again in April, specifically about Overkill and the "Search For Kento Event": View video on youtube.com

The latest HITMAN Elusive Target is now live on Linux
8 May 2017 at 6:43 am UTC

Quoting: pb"This target will be in Sapienza for 11 days and is one of the final three Elusive Targets to be released for the first season of HITMAN."

Well that's not a very good news for Linux gamers. I've played Hitman since the Linux release and only had a chance to do three elusive targets (four with the current one), missing the previous 20. :-(
If my theory is correct, then Season 2 might be coming to Linux on Day 1. The way Hitman: No subtitle is designed is like a portal, with new stuff coming every now and again for ALL platforms. I would expect Season 2 to follow that logic, otherwise, you're leaving the Linux folks out in the cold.

I'm probably gonna make a Video voicing my opinion on this particular subject in the near-future. Porting houses definitely deserve revenue, but beating the convenience of Steamplay to get that revenue by creating 2 game entries is basically the only way around the "guaranteed revenue" minefield.

Another HITMAN elusive target is now live to attempt

Quoting: mirothis is a tough one, he has 4 guards and you will want the silent-assassin reward for some extras.
has anyone successful tactics on this? I am trying to clean-sweep the first floor in the main building and then to lure his escorts one by one into the bathroom to silently kill them. but this takes ages, as one can pacify just one escort at a time and it takes several minutes until they come along again.
I put a gas canister near the door of the house on the inside, waited for him to go Downstairs (not up, that part's important!), then shot it from the adjacent server room with a silenced pistol as soon as he goes next to it.

Quoting: HadBabitsMy first elusive target attempt was a success :) I was nervous since I'm used to having the god of saves to resurrect me
This is what's making it sound really exciting. How long will they provide new special missions like this? Should I get Hitman soon? :)
Elusive Targets are Generally once a month for ~7-10 days. They are frustrating, but damn fun.

Let’s face it, you don’t buy a game for a PlayStation 4 and demand an Xbox One version as well, do you? No, you don’t.
They are 2 different pieces of hardware that act as one platform, yes, but they run on 2 different pieces of hardware. Steam itself IS the platform, and the hardware element often doesn't need to be changed.

HITMAN released for Linux, initial port report and two gameplay videos

Quoting: lucifertdarkI just finished the main storyline of Season1 & I need to know something, when is Season 2 coming? are they working on it already?
Likely in March, early summer, if I were to guess.

I've said this in other places, but there's a 99% chance Season 2 will be day one for Linux, given the Way Hitman is designed to be an all-encompassing, always online game thingy.

You may wanna send Ubuntu users to the compile page instead, or a version of OBS 17+, which doesn;t have the X11 RAM memory flooding error.
