Quoting: MayeulCWell, I tried to register on this website to post a comment on this (mostly the `uname -m` thing, plus export LC_ALL=C which often causes problems in unity games. But I don't understand the verification question :

Quoting: DrMcCoyThere's quite a few mistakes in there.

2) chmod 777 is very bad. chmod 700 should suffice
4) Don't use getconf LONG_BIT (that will also output 64 on a lot of non-x86 architectures). Use uname -m
6) "en" is not really a valid locale. A valid locale consists of a language, a region and an encoding. For example: "en_US.UTF-8". Just "en" might work, but it might not

Good tips. A thing to note that I learned recently is that when publishing to Steam, Steam will a+x dang near every file in the install directory. I am guessing it's for people who want to store their SteamApps in a shared location, but still doesn't make sense for most file types.

Quoting: GuestParadox… So it will be another complicated and expensive game without a demo and with a thousand DLCs, I suppose. Great.

Warlock 2 is much like the first one, not very "complicated" as far as strategy games go and definitely a lot less so than Paradox grand strategy titles.

Ok, ran terribly for me, but got it smooth now (Arch/NVidia). Here's what I did:

1) Selected Ultra settings
2) Show advanced
3) Disable ubersampling
4) Disable anti-aliasing
5) Disable v-sync

Looks good, runs well.

Quoting: GoCorinthiansThe bureau!...why not 2k :'(?

That game is complete garbage. :/

Anyhoo, I already own X-COM:EU and will be picking up the expansion :Enemy Within the second the Linux version is ready. It's one of the few games I managed to just totally lose myself in.

Yeah, engine support is no longer an excuse for lack of Linux support. The remaining problem is when devs taint their game with other third party tech that doesn't support Linux.

This reminds me a lot of Desktop Dungeons.
