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.

Please make sure you followed all steps. I had the same problem, as others. But with following all the steps it's confirmed to work:

- Disable cloud save for this game only
- Close Steam client (will write all files to disk)
- Delete all settings (I used Windows for this, shame on me):

Linux:
- Delete files UserGameStats_"your id"_346900.bin and UserGameStatsSchema_346900.bin in ~/.local/share/Steam/appcache/stats
- Delete folder ~/.config/unity3d/Hyper Hippo Productions Ltd.
- Delete folder ~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/"your id"/346900

- Start Steam, set launch options for Adventure Capitalist LC_ALL=C %command%
- Start the game, play a bit, close the game, restart game to check if it worked
- If it works, you`re safe to enable steam cloud save again and upload the new files. Works crossplatform then.

The game works with steamcloud disabled (disabled for this game only, no need to completely turn of cloud save). But it's important to delete all the associated files, otherwise there is always a faulty gamestate the game loads. Those files may only be written to disk after exiting the Steam client.
If you have questions about a single step, let me know.

That locale bug is a bit annoying. Especially if you messed up your cloud save with it. Then it even doesn`t work on other platforms anymore and you have to completely reset the gamestats if you want to continue playing. Or you`ll have to wait for an update from the developers.

If you want to know how to reset your stats, have a look here [External Link]

How cool is that? I love the Alien franchise, and I'm really happy that this game has signs of Linux support.
Slowly I don't know anymore, what I (really) whish to have on SteamOS/Linux :) Lately Evolve shows signs of Linux support, now Alien: Isolation. And I asked them already on Gamescom if there will be a Linux version. Finally those hopes have good chances to come true.
Exciting times for Linux gaming.
Even though I already completed the main game, I'll be more than happy to enjoy the DLCs on Linux then.

Just bought the Frontier pack (and gifted it to somebody, so the extra copy of Don't Starve didn't get lost), and got Don't Starve Together gifted back. Redemption worked fine, but game is in my library only visible, when I set the filter from SteamOS + Linux to (all) Games.
Opting into the OSX/Linux beta branched was successfull then, but still no install button. Rightclicking on the game an then pressing install leads to the message:
"Don't Starve Together Beta is not available on your current platform."

Using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bit (german locale).

Any ideas? Restarting Steam or changing content servers didn't help.

PS: Same on my mac.

edit: Strange, just after waiting for a while, the install button appeared. Now I could install it on Linux (which I rebooted once in the meatime) and OS X (which was not rebooted). It seems to have been just a matter of time.
