Quoting: DoItOnLinuxI wrote the fix up here; http://doitonlinux.blogspot.com/2017/01/saints-row-3-crashing-in-multiplayer.html

@DoltOnLinux: Thank you very much. This helped me too. When I tried to play with a mate (both on Linux), it was always kicking me back to desktop. I already had the ingame voice chat set to disable, but my mate had it to always transmit. After he changed that, it was working over two hours without issues.

So, if you want to troll your buddy, just set your ingame voice to always transmit, and he will be kicked from the game right to the desktop. Don't expect your mate to play with you again though :D

Hmm... now the Killing Floor 2 entry on Aaron's Website has been replaced by Flywrench.
Looks like Tripwire didn't like that he had this entry on his website.
I hope this didn't cause any trouble.

edit: oh, also the tweet got deleted.

Will it really have to be Ubuntu 16.10? Like library-wise? Or will 16.04 LTS be working, too?

QuoteI had an email tip

You're welcome ;)

I would pick up a copy for sure. There have been many sales for KF2 already, but I was able to resist. Will pick up a copy as soon as it releases for Linux. Aaron is doing great porting work, so the port, if it comes, will probably be technically flawless.

You may think of Phil Fish as you like, but this game is a masterpiece. Thanks to Renaud Bédard and Ethan Lee we have a flawless Linux version, and this game is really fun to play. Really nice pixelart and good puzzles which you don't have to complete all to finish the game. In fact, you can play a second run, where you complete the remaining puzzles to get a different ending.
The variety of the puzzles is great, some are depending on time, for others you need a good ear (or have rumble on your gamepad) etc.
I enjoyed this game a lot.

For the poll next year, I would like to be able to check all porters as favorite Linux game porters ;)

@Ehvis: It is playing in the same universe, but won't spoil Stasis at all.

I was lucky to beta test Cayne, and the issue with the text of PDAs and terminal screens being off is known and looks like it's a Unity Linux issue. The Brotherhood will release an update as soon as this is fixed.

From what I've read, Cayne was as stretch goal of the Stasis kickstarter campaign, a free prequel to Stasis. The friendly devs wrote to me:

QuoteI hope the Linux community forgives us for the late port of STASIS, that will happen soonish :)

I don't mind at all. They show quite some Linux love and are working on fixing issues, which is really great. Especially as you can play Stasis on Linux through the beta already.

Their new game "Beautiful Desolation" is on Kickstarter right now, and they say about Linux:

QuoteWhat Platforms will you initially release on? Windows. We will endeavor to also publish on Mac and Linux, however this may not be a day one release.

This game is so great, it's a must play for everyone who has fun with platformers. And it's indeed very well playable with controller.
I was also lucky to take part in the closed beta test (for mac though), but thanks to flibitijibibo's FNA the port works smooth as always. A high quality port of a high quality indie game.
If you didn't know yet, Owlboy was in development for almost ten years, by 5 devs spread over three countries. And the extra time did the game very well. It's polished like a triple A title, the gameplay is smooth and diversified. I've already had a lot if fun with Owlboy, and you will too. So get it already ;)

If you want to host your own github-like service, have a look at GoGS on https://github.com/gogits/gogs/ or its fork GiTea on https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea

It's pretty cool, and has already a lot of features github offers. Some are still missing, but it's under development and you can kindly request features. E.g. if you want to have snippets like gists etc.
And it's pretty easy to setup.

This game is so good! If you haven't played it yet, go get it.
Let yourself get sucked into the great atmosphere of this game as Creative Assembly managed to bring the feeling Ripley must have had in the first Alien movie into a game. Probably the best Alien game available, for sure the best Alien game on Linux ;)
But learn to read the signs, the game gives you. Otherwise you might get the impression the game would be unfair (at least some gamers claim that), which it isn't at all. You always have a chance. Be brave, but not too perky.

Aww man, I envy everybody who hasn't played it yet and can make this experience fresh from the beginning ;)

I hope there will be a sequel.

edit: ah yes, and it is great to watch other players streaming this game. So if it happens you get a copy, add yourself to the streaming list here, so we can all watch you :D
