Open source gamepad config tool 'SC Controller' has a pre-release to support more gamepads

Quoting: kozecIt's interesting thing to find one's own application in RSS feed :)
Many thanks for your efforts! I do have one small suggestion, unrelated to the actual application. Your Fedora repo files have the version hard-coded in them, which means the one I downloaded for Fedora 24 quit working. Instead of replacing it with a new one (which I notice are separate, hard-coded for specific versions), I just changed the '24' in both places to $releasever

My respect for Patreon went up, while my respect for the developers of Persona went down. I'd heard they were good games, but I'm certainly less likely to buy any now.

Quoting: qptain Nemoif they wanted to go down this road they definitely wouldn't have open sourced .net and made it available for Linux (at least indirectly through open sourcing, I don't remember if they put any effort into compatibility themselves).
They did; they also bought Xamarin, the company behind Mono.

Soma is a great game, you should enjoy it. :)

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

Quoting: EhvisStasis- Still a few glitches remaining on the Linux build, but nothing that could keep me from finishing it. The atmosphere in this game is awesome!
I'm playing this one now; this and Cayne are nicely done. The isometric perspective is unusual for what are really adventure games, but they pull it off well.

Quoting: EhvisDeponia Doomsday - Must. Finish. Deponia!
Finished that one recently. A great series! Played the originals under WINE (cutscenes were a little choppy in the audio, but otherwise worked perfectly); one of these days I will have to go back and play the "Complete Journey" natively.

Just remove the config.vdf file and make sure not to save your password until that bug is closed.
Thanks for the link; the latest update there, about "pinning" libdbus, seems to work around it better than the other suggestions.

Quoting: razing32I pre-ordered Kingdom Come , but seems they will drop Linux support
They haven't completely ruled out Linux support, but they were giving refunds to Kickstarter backers (I got mine).

Cyberpunk horror game 'Observer' from Bloober Team & Aspyr Media will likely see a delayed Linux release

Quoting: Leopard
Quoting: KimyrielleI think we're used to delays of developers with little to no Linux experience underestimating the demands of cross-platform development or simply overlooking the fact that Windows-only middleware doesn't magically compile on Linux.

But Aspyr?

Really?
No , actually they're experienced with Linux and OsX. These are the devs of Layers of Fear which is available for Linux and OsX.
That was Kimyrielle's point - they are experienced, and should be able to properly plan for simultaneous release, if it's a priority for them.
