Quoting: Xaero_VincentSadly many Linux ports are poor quality and the Windows version works better.

No offense, just curious if this is a qualified "many" or simply an opinion.

We all know some really bad ports, but sweeping statements like this get thrown around a little too often for my liking and it ultimately throws shade at Linux as a gaming platform in general, nevermind who developed what, who ported X game, which distro/gpu - whatever.

Perhaps you could share your thoughts on the matter?

Well, bin32 is just a symlink to the ubuntu12_32 directory so your command is for all intents and purposes the same one as Liam posted initially.

Here's the all-purpose, general oneliner, for any and all distros, no quotation marks, using current user home dir alias and symlinked Steam runtime dir... (assuming that Steam is installed in current users home dir)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:~/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ %command%

That's a very bright game, otherwise nice looking puzzler with a very affordable price.
Suggested a Dark/Night mode in the Steam forums.

Since MXGP3 Linux build runs like frozen dog shit, I'm not having any hopes for this one. :|
If anyone does try it, please report back!

Quoting: Leeo97oneYou should try to use AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem.

Maybe switching to KDE isn't an acceptable solution for everyone. :wink:
I realized that I hardly ever click that icon. Do you guys use it for some specific function?

Fixed incorrect mouse wheel scrolling offsets
Finally, sweet sweet scrolling! ^_^

Rick: start the game from a terminal and see what the error message is. It might not even be the same problem.

Pro tip: Come over to the GoL Discord for live discussion/help.

Octodad comes to mind. Cthulhudad? :P
Amusing concept, though I wonder if this holds up beyond the initial encounter.

Very pleasing game, simplistic, stylish and satisfying. With 2 player local coop!
Definitely worth trying (and backing). ^_^

I can appreciate the sentiment that Steam is having plenty of less impressive titles these days.

I'll just note that as an old Wing Commander fan, this title appeals to me on many levels. The graphics alone twangs the ol' nostalgia string, and I'm willing to hum along with that tune.

If someone else doesn't feel this game is right for them, hey man, no hate, you do your thing. Play whatever floats your boat. Just try not to be a total whackass about other games, mmkay? There's too much bullshit in this world already, no point adding more.

Peace bros. :wink:
