The amount of Linux users on Steam has increased when going by daily active users

Oh dear, when I see these numbers, I'm so thankful that we get any Linux versions at all.
I really hope we can give Devs the feeling it is worth it, by supporting them, thanking them and spreading out the word of their games.

DXVK for Direct3D 11 over Vulkan in Wine has a new 0.60 release
22 Jun 2018 at 10:07 am UTC Likes: 3

Awesome progress. The pace of the development of this piece of software is impressive.

Will this be integrated into wine directly like vkd3d?

I guess there is still a risk getting banned when using dxvk in multiplayer games as it replaces some dlls? That's the reason why I haven't tried it yet myself. Would love to try Elite: Dangerous with this on Linux, but I don't want to risk my account.

edit: a note about the nVidia driver 396.24.02, it causes white screens with Unreal Engine 4 games, e.g. with Everspace or RUINER. see here [External Link]

Grab your chef's hat as crazy party game Overcooked! 2 looks like it will be on Linux (updated)

Awesome, the first game is already so much fun to play (e.g. destroying friendships or making your home sound like a restaurant with high traffic to your neighbours :D), so I'm very happy to see this one coming to Linux. A must buy for me.

Did I get this right? Microsoft bought the studio? If now the Linux version will still happen?
I‘m afraid they won‘t let them...

You can now pre-order the Linux-powered Atari VCS games console, a lot more details revealed

Yeah, my first experiences with Indiegogo and it went bad. Entered my credit card info and pushed the button... and it says error, but I can see the payment as being processed on my bank account. Nice.
Haven't had any issues at all with Kickstarter so far, I hope Indiegogo support will solve this. Grml.

Squad-based strategy game 'Steam Marines 2' adds official Linux support

Quoting: WorthlessBumsHey, Corben, it took me a while to figure out if I was going to do this, but the answer is yes [External Link].
Thanks for answering!

Squad-based strategy game 'Steam Marines 2' adds official Linux support
25 May 2018 at 12:18 pm UTC

As they state on this Steam forums discussion [External Link], it will also be released on Steam (hey, it's "Steam" Marines, so it must be on Steam, mustn't it? :)). And they say the price will increase over time starting at $25.

So, does anyone know what happens, when I buy it now on itch? Will I get a Steam key later? Maybe it's already mentioned somewhere and I just didn't find it yet.

PSVR is running on Linux with OpenHMD and OpenHMD-SteamVR
24 May 2018 at 9:55 am UTC Likes: 1

Woah!

I doubt this would ever get official support, but if this becomes stable enough for the normal Linux geek to use... it would be a very interesting option. Did they say something about support for the motion controllers? The Vive tracking will be still the best tracking out there, but as also Windows Mixed Reality's inside-out tracking seems good enough (even though not as accurate as the Vive tracking), it would really be an interesting alternative for people wanting to experience VR on Linux.
Cool!

edit: just curious... would it also be possible to use PS4VR on other operating systems this way? So would it be interesting for people who own a PS4 already, but no HMD yet, to buy it and use it on console and PC (all OS'es)?

Cool retro-inspired racer that was developed on Linux 'Slipstream' is now out
22 May 2018 at 8:02 am UTC

Easy to learn, hard to master...

It's also a great game for jumping in for just a few minutes, drive an arcade race or any other single track.
So you don't get too frustrated when the amount of other cars increased in the last track and you bumped into each one of them. Or you bumped too much in the green bushes which are rock solid :D

Also looks like a controller is a must have, haven't tried it with a keyboard yet, but as I read on the steam recommendations, some people want to play it with a keyboard but can't.

But yeah, as soon as you manage to get into the drifting flow you can start enjoying the great scenery, skylines and backgrounds as well as the cool soundtrack.
