GOL Cast: Wandering Around Morrowind in OpenMW
20 December 2015 at 11:36 pm UTC

Quoting: MurderousMincePieI wish I'd known about this sooner! I love TES series to bits and it's what I miss most from switching to Linux. But I'm slightly confused, obviously it requires the assets of the orginal Morrowind but doesn't it search for a pre-existing installation in order to run? How would you do this on Steam? Wouldn't it be impossible to install on a Linux system? Would I need to buy it on a sperate service like GOG in order to aquire it's assets?
There are ways to download the data from Steam using a tool called steamcmd or simply by running Steam in Wine. Alternatively you can download the installer from GOG and use innoextract to essentially unzip the contents into a nice directory. All you have to do then is to tell OpenMW where the data files are (it has a setup wizard).

Quoting: leillo1975I have a problem: When I execute the game, It shows a window to configure resolution and other issues. When I push the button to start, the game stops in the Grid Autosport logo.

I try in fullscreen, in a window, at 1080 and 720. I use Ubuntu 14.04.3 64bits, with Nvidia 750ti (358.16) and 16GB RAM. My steam library are located in a NTFS shared partition
Make sure to tick the "do not show again" box on the launcher and then try launching the game. It should work then.

I say "meh". Garry is a bit of a one hit wonder and even that game hardly counts as a game. I don't think any of his future creations are going to interest me.

Here's a game they totally won't go over the budget with and they won't ship it in multiple bits and most definitely won't go through Early Access and leave it in incomplete state for eternity.

Quoting: ricki42Which nvidia card are you comparing to?
Ah, forgot to mention it because I've already done this a couple of times. That would be a GTX 760.

StarDrive 2, the rather good 4x space strategy game is now on Unity 5

QuoteI pretty much fell in love with StarDrive 2 for being so much like an updated Master of Orion 2

How accurate is this? Because so far every single "updated Master of Orion 2" I've tried has failed to be an actual update over MOO2.
I played about 9 hours of StarDrive 2 and I think MOO2 is still a better experience. No nostalgia factor either, because the first time I played MOO2 was pretty recently.

Quoting: alefWhy they are making Linux ports always after I already purchased and finished it on Windows? :(
Because you don't have the patience to wait for the Linux ports to arrive, obviously. :P
