Quoting: ktatar156I've tested Steam Play with: Tropico 4 and Fallout: New Vegas. Works almost perfect, only one bug found in both games - I don't know why, but I cannot select my native language (polish) in options...

do you have this option on windows?
steam says: english, german, france, italian, spanish, (korean)

Quoting: mylkaisnt that what vulkan should be? vulkan was made to bring games to other OS.
id software told us how easy it is to port doom to linux. maybe someone can ask feral interactive how much work it would be to port RotTR/mad max from the LINUX VULKAN version to a Windows VULKAN version. that would be very interesting

Vulkan is not a SDK, is just a graphic API. Unfortunately, porting an application to another OS is not just about the graphic API.

Don't get too exited people, it could be nothing.

of course, but all engines need to support this SDK
it is more likely that all engines suppport vulkan, because vulkan is open
and as far i know it should be easier/make less trouble porting a game from one OS to another

i mean vulkan already exists and it has proven, that it works great on linux and windows. (big) game studios just need to use it instead of DX

something new means back to the beginning

Quoting: GuestCould Valve be creating an SDK for Steam?
Developers will no longer need to target the OS, and instead just code games direct for the Steam API.

Now that would seriously shake up Microsoft.

isnt that what vulkan should be? vulkan was made to bring games to other OS.

Quoting: mylkawont start for me
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing

i think thats the ubuntu16.04 bug i had with steam. but now i have 18.04

Nope, they messed up with local libs (libgcc_s.so to be exactly). You have to go to the game folder and create a symlink to your local library. This is what I did:

$ mv $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/insurgency2/bin/libgcc_s.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1.game
$ ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/insurgency2/bin/libgcc_s.so.1

With that fix, the game should start flawlessly from steam.

works. thanks

Quoting: mylkademo doesnt work for me. "error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Installing a package that should be called "libxcursor1 [External Link]" might help?

its already installed

Quoting: mylkademo doesnt work for me. "error while loading shared libraries: libXcursor.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

you need the 32bit versions of libXcursor

dpkg -S /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so.1
libxcursor1:i386: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so.1

sudo apt-get install libxcursor-dev:i386

you might find the other libs with

ldd Gibbous_Linux.x86

that helped, but then i needed
sudo apt install libxrandr2:i386

now it starts, but crashes after the unity screen

"Searching for joysticks with GUID" .... a lot of joysticks

edit: i tried this demo
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/real-time-tactical-rpg-city-of-the-shroud-has-a-linux-demo-build-available-for-testing.12333
same error. searches some joystick... logitec, xbox, saitek, etc and crashes
