Quoting: Spl-iteasy, get more sales, then delay like mad, then deny ever promising a linux version

It's good that we have an effective tactic to combat such means of deception: don't buy before it's out.

Quoting: Mountain ManWere the keys acquired directly from Paradox so that they get their fair share of the sale? I'm always a bit suspicious of key sellers, especially when they offer discounts that you can't find anywhere else.

Games Republic should be a legitimate reseller. However, I do recommend you wait until release for all the obvious reasons.

Quoting: DanielRowellThere have been a few graphical issues reported with the change to 1.1. Most of the work arounds are on bug #7493 [External Link]. I've had to launch the game with the launch option -force-glcore added in steam to get the missing user interface components to appear, other fixes seem to involve changing the games resolution within it's config files.

Hope this helps anyone else struggling with the new release.

Well then, that also seems to fix other games with missing UI elements like Soul Axiom and Slime Rancher. Thanks a bunch.

Quoting: AngelicMewIs it because of the driver version that the minimum requirement says NVidia 640?

I was playing this game already with my 560Ti in Windows and it ran pretty well.

560 Ti is faster than a 640, so you shouldn't have problems based on these requirements.

Nice, looks like I won't have to switch GPUs when I play this!

Quoting: liamdaweMy character for example seems to be a black male with a tiny dongle, the exact opposite of me (stop laughing!), and I'm okay with that.

Sure, sure. We believe you. :P

Quoting: mcphailI bought UFO: Enemy Unknown from GOG, for use with OpenXCom. I plan to buy Morrowind for use with openmw. Should these purchases be recorded as non-Linux supported games on the survey? Do we need an extra category for Windows-only games on open source engines, or is that a bit too much of a niche?

I think it would be nice to see that as an addition to the survey. Would be interesting to see how many people buy games to use with native engine replacements.

I believe you messed up the headline. Isn't it supposed to say "Linux Usage Dramatically Drops, Linux Gaming Practically Dead, All Hail Our Corporate Overlords"?

Sorry, forgot to add the </sarcasm> tag.

I remember hearing that Trendy Entertainment's employees' working conditions were terrible too, not exactly sure when or where though. Anyway, those kinds of contracts are in my opinion simply idiotic and I do hope that this lawsuit ends up costing them more in PR than they are going to gain from it.
