Quoting: bgh251f2There's a Linux installer for Neverwinter Nights https://www.gog.com/forum/neverwinter_nights_series/enfrlinux_install_neverwinter_nights_on_debianubuntumintetc/post1 [External Link]

It's native and done a long time ago.
It's outdated.Because current GOG version has one .bin file,not two.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

Witcher 3
Gta V
Skyrim
Fallout 4

Also,i don't like League of Legends but it will be a great boost.Because i saw so many people solely staying on Windows for LoL.

Quoting: LeopardI just failed OpenGl dependency.But i cannot see anything about sys reqs at this game's page.
Your Intel Ironlake GPU is so old it isn't likely to support OpenGL 3.2. You should be okay with -force-opengl on the command line, assuming the game wasn't built on the new Unity 5.5.
Yeah,i know.This gpu supports Directx10 but OpenGL support is terrible.Although,it could be able to handle OpenGL 3.0 (upon the article below),it seems unlikely;like said in the article.

It's working here for me.

Does the game create this file?
~/.config/unity3d/Screwy\ Lightbulb/Kith_\ Tales\ from\ the\ Fractured\ Plateaus/Player.log

If so, could you upload its contents to somewhere like pastebin.com?
Yeah,i see it now.I just failed OpenGl dependency.But i cannot see anything about sys reqs at this game's page.

Nearly 4 years later, Steam still won’t close to the tray icon on Linux without workarounds
30 Nov 2016 at 3:57 pm UTC

Just work it with
LC_ALL=C steam command from terminal it works like a charm.When you hit X button(close)it minimizes to tray.

To do this as a resident solution,just create a launcher of Steam with this command.

GOG have something mysterious planned for December 1st

Not a Linux client i guess.If it was some of us should have heard or read something about that.

Feral Interactive are requesting that Canonical get Mesa updates into an official PPA
18 Nov 2016 at 4:41 pm UTC

It's a fair request.

Fear of security and stability won't be a problem.In Linux Mint,there are three update levels.One for new users,it also has a description for it.This option has very limited update options.It doesn't even update Linux kernel.

Second one is recommended,Linux kernel and kernel security updates available.

Third one is higly experimental,for pro users.

With options like this,there won't be a problem.Leave it to user choice

Some early thoughts on ‘CrossCode’, an Early Access 2D action RPG set in the distant future

I had this game on Steam.Acquired by a Steam product key,which i don't remember when or where i get it.

I played it a little bit(about one and a half hour)last month and it was beautiful.If they keep Linux version steady(I'm using Linux Mint 18,earlier 17.3)this title would be a great indie.It has an interesting story,good gameplay and good keyboard-mouse controller settings.
