We Happy Few, an action/adventure game set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city will hit Linux in Early Access

Correction from Compulsion Games [External Link]:

That was a miscommunication on our part. Linux and Mac won't be ready during Early Access (it IS possible but we don't want to promise anything we are not 100% sure of), sorry about that.

Two Worlds Epic Edition openworld action RPG now on Linux, uses Wine

@Nel: Yeah, I got to the point where everything except for cutscenes worked. So I'm curious how GOG release configured it. I'll try it out.

@Nel: Yep, that didn't help. It had an error like this:

err:msvideo:ICLocate Required media codec 'vidc WVC1' not found! 

Using this POL script [External Link] as a guide, I also got http://www-pc.uni-regensburg.de/systemsw/WinMedia/wvc1dmo.exe [External Link] and registered wvc1dmod.dll, but it didn't help in my case.

Quoting: coryrj19951Just so everyone knows, the Linux version was just added on GOG today.
Yeah, I just saw that. How exactly is it configured? I recently tried to install it in Wine myself, and it had all kind of issues with missing codec so it couldn't play cutscenes.

VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action released for Linux, some thoughts

Did it feel similar to Papers, Please for you? At least externally it appears so (I didn't buy this game yet. I too already bought a bunch of stuff on GOG sale).

Looks like Unity bug. See more details here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/failed-to-get-number-of-drivers.377026/ [External Link]

Fix should be in the future versions of Unity, but as workaround make sure you either have PulseAudio installed in full, or you don't have any trace of it.

An interview with Paradox Development Studios about supporting Linux

With new AMD hardware Mesa usage will grow I suspect, so developers who ignore it should be criticized.

Regarding non Steam sales, Paradox are talking about some time in the past, so they can't apply such reasons today. There is no excuse for any exclusivity in general.

You should have asked them if they plan to release their future games on GOG and other DRM-free stores rather than keeping them Steam exclusives.

Another minus to them for not submitting bugs to Mesa, and another major minus for trying to justify why they aren't releasing 64-bit versions. The later was really weird.

Try rerunning it. I think it happened to me once.
