Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: ZeloxI think its confirmed. Cause in my steam library on linux. Dead island are listen in the game list. I can download it but I cant play it
That means nothing it happens all the time with games that occidentally tick a certain box and have it show up on the Linux list.
Yes, I have a game that has been in my linux library for a while now yet the devs say its not being ported and they arent sure why its listed in the linux library. They even asked for a screenshot to prove it. Yet they still havent removed the game yet.

you only have to have the disk in the first time.. then it creates a license file and you never need it again unless you reinstall. Also... it's linux.. dvd -> iso -> mount iso /mnt.. done
Oh ok thats better. Do you know if the file can be copied to the other installs or is it machine specific?
