It looks like more classic Topware Interactive games are coming to Linux

Quoting: LeopardAlthough they're not top notch games,that's an example how Linux gaming can improve.

For example:Witcher 1 needs that kind of Wine port.Simple,install with one click.

We need much more old games with Wine ports.There is no need for old stuff OpenGL native port.
If someone ever port The Witcher 1 to Linux - this should be native port. Because game use old Aurora Engine and this engine have support for Linux and OpenGL API. CD Projekt RED change in engine rendering part, so I think if any middlewara is not a problem, they should make it native. But this is only my hope.
CD Projekt completely abandoned Linux community,so my only hope is still a Wine port.

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It's outdated.Because current GOG version has one .bin file,not two.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
