Quoting: nIQnutnhow do you get the framerate ?

You can enable an ingame FPS counter in the Steam client settings (menu In-Game).

I'm on a C2Q [email protected] with a nVidia GTX 670 and 8 GB RAM (DDR2 :P). Running on detected medium settings at 1680x1050. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with proprietary divers version 358.16
In the cutscenes I have ~30FPS (not below) and ingame between 30 and 50. Mostly about 40 FPS. Feels smooth all the time, no stuttering. It's very well playable. I'm satisfied with the performance so far.

Elite Dangerous on Linux? That would be too good to be true.

Recently played, all with Steam Controller:
- Trine 3
- Adventure Capitalist
- Time Clickers
- Axiom Verge

Except Trine 3 I played them via Steam Link on my TV. The idle clickers games are well playable with the keyboard mouse emulation of the Steam Controller.

Interesting is the input lag for Axiom Verge. It is also very well playable via Steam Link, but when you got used to the delay (even though it's quite little), you have problems playing it on (Linux) PC again ;)

Maybe this is a chance. If Feral is optimizing the game while porting, it may even run better on Linux than on Windows. That would be a great surprise, when the game is released.

Looks like both entries (SR2 and SR3) are gone from the "In development" section?

This game is so good! I already asked at their GamesCom booth back in 2014, if they will release a Linux version.

Finally my wishes come true :)

As soon as I heard about a possible Linux port, I decided to play the Addons/DLCs only on Linux. And that was a hard decision, as I really enjoyed playing the campaign on the other PC operating system :)

Thank you Creative Assembly, thank you Sega, thank you Feral!

Alien: Isolation (!)
Rocket League
Evolve
Batman Arkham Knight
Saints Row: The Third/IV
Giana Sisters
Gas Guzzlers Extreme
Darksiders II (and I again)
Everspace
Descent: Underground
XCOM 2

All are more or less known to come to Linux... but one game I really want to have on Linux would be:

Elite: Dangerous

EA ist the best example of a company completely profit driven. Maximum profit driven. EA only cares about customers when their numbers are big enough in complaints.
Though it's legitimate, there are enough examples that there is also a way to show passion about other even smaller things, with also making profit. Personally I hope in the long run, that these companies will be the real winners, and customers/gamers realize that a long term caretaking is what you want.
EA just recently removed several good games from the mobile app stores, because they don't make profit in long term supporting those games (Dead Space, Flight Control, Mass Effect: Infiltrator, ...). You paid for the games, but now they just remove them because they don't want to give you anymore support. Feels a bit like being stolen from.
I also like some games from EA, but I totally dislike their behaviour about customer care.

Quoting: liamdaweI have it confirmed from their PR that multiplayer is Linux-Linux only, so not cross platform online.

Aww... how did that come? Any technical reasons?
Are they working on a cross-platform multiplayer?

Thanks for the hint with the swapped . and / :) (fixed)
For starting the game from console, you might have to use the steam runtime. Among other stuff, it makes sure the "correct" (the ones steam provides and the game is compiled against) libraries are used.
LC_ALL=C ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/run.sh ./adventure-capitalist.x86_64 (or ./adventure-capitalist.x86)

I also have sometimes the problem, the game closes after the config box. But most of the time, it runs fine with a second try.
