Quoting: TangoBakerUntil You Fall doesn't seem to work with Proton anymore.

It did before release, didn't after, then worked if you used experimental and now doesn't. Not sure what broke it the last time but I haven't been able to get it to work again even with old versions of Proton.

And it never worked on AMD - just got a black screen. It seems that the black screen issue is now affecting quite a few (all?) Nvidia users too. I refunded it, and if I bought this bundle, I'd likely slide the % to near-zero for that dev, sadly. I enjoyed Liam's streams on it too, such a shame.

Quoting: PodyPearPearlIs Linux gaming a large market? Because I heard Linux is actually growing. I hope it becomes large enough until then I will run games not working on Linux in windows.

Tiny market comparatively. But given the size of Steam's customer base, it's incredible to think there are over a million active monthly Linux gamers out there.

You can track the stats on GOL's dedicated page: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/

Quoting: ElectroDDI have the 18 years badge...

Do you happen to know how rare that is?

I have the 16 year badge [External Link] right now, which will turn 17 mid November... but to have an 18 year badge only 2 days after Steam itself turned 18 requires you to have signed up for it practically on the day of its release. It must be incredibly rare.

Half Life 2 in 2004 for me. Then Dark Messiah, and Prey. I have to say, it's really weird to see all these Windows titles on there. Even weirder to think that I'd ditch Windows entirely mid-way through 2013. I was already dual-booting from about 2006 onwards.


Then I ducked out of using it entirely for about 3 years.
But when I came back to it, I very much went all in. Oof.

Awesome trailer. Such a good game - I need to restart it. I got about 15 hours in then some new shiny thing distracted me, and it's a bit of a Hollow Knight experience... if you leave it for too long and then go back, you're like "wait... what have I done so far, where do I go next???".

I've been keeping an eye on this for a long time. I wonder how it stacks up next to Grim Dawn, which (despite being Windows-only) is the best diablo-like ARPG I've ever played, with quite simply incredible character customisation, combined with fluid and addictive gameplay.

Interestingly, this review on Steam [External Link] seems to suggest that the character customisation is at least as good as Grim Dawn!

This has been firmly on my radar since the demo, which was superb. It definitely needed balancing though, so it's great to hear that feedback. I think I'll give it another go, keep my hype up for this one!

Gutted that it's another year to wait though!

When I first heard of FSR, I was worried that it was going to be months or years before we saw tangible results of it existing. Quite the contrary, however! First the winehack was out within days, then games added it as an option, and now we have emulators taking advantage. Superb!

What always strikes me about Linux is that while Steam claims we're 1% of their userbase, we consistently feature much higher than 1% of any given title's sales. Death Trash is actually pretty low as the trend goes, I think.

And I don't think it's because there's less choice either. Honestly, I don't know what it is. Perhaps its skewed because my main source of information about this stuff is GOL, so it's more likely to be about games Liam covered, so Linux users are more likely to have heard of and been hyped by the game in question?

I dunno. I just know that I can't remember figures that suggested less than 1% of sales.

Dual-booters maybe? But if they're spending more time in Windows, why buy the game on Linux (or play it mostly on Linux for first two weeks)?

The other thing that confuses me is scale. If we're 1%, and that's over a million active monthly users on Steam... then a game like Death Trash sells, let's say 50K units, then 500 sales were Linux. But that's only 500 sales out of a million active Linux users. I'd expect the units to be much higher, honestly. You know, higher than 1.6%, I mean, which is still only 800 units.

I mean, especially a game like Death Trash, which, because it's indie, is more likely to get press from places like GOL and hence a higher ratio?

I have a degree in mathematics, but failed my first year statistics (and the re-sit... not my proudest moment). My brain isn't geared for this kind of stuff. :grin:
