seems really good to be able to get the game into your library if its declined, but, hopefully you know the person your buying a gift for and if all would like it or not before you buy it :-)

Quoting: UltraVioletdoesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest
I started the game with my Steam Controller switched on and the game seemed to work just fine using it, despite there being no obvious option to select a controller.
no luck for me with a xbox 360 controller plugged in.

how much are steam controllers?
I payed like 46-47 euros for mine on a Steam sale if i recall. Don't remember if i payed shipping also or how much it was.

Not into the Saints Row games, but, being that it's free I'll give it a go

AMDGPU-PRO 17.10 driver released

Quoting: M@yeulCThis won't solve the problem, though. I guess Valve didn't update the .deb on their website with the latest version.

This comes from the fact that the Open source drivers are compiled against a newer version of the libraries present in the runtime.

Try to launch it with:

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
Then, update steam (opt into beta branch if necessary, I've been staying there for more than three years :P).

worked perfectly thankyou.

and with the updated drivers my games work [as expected] much better, plus no graphical glitches in Defense Grid 2 and Assault Android Cactus has a much smoother framerate.

thanks again
