Actually, the libSDL update has messed with the mouse input and made the game practically unplayable for lots of people.

A KDE developer has thoughts on changing how Linux games work

Somewhere in one of the quotes he says: "Maybe the game could launch its own Wayland server?". This could fix your alt+tab, mumble, multi-monitor .... fears?

I need some time adjusting to the gfx as I watched many hours at RCT2 in a previous life. Speaking of the latter, you can play openrct2 [External Link]on linux [External Link], it even has an experimental multiplayer nowadays.

Rocket League Linux port is being worked on still, developers are listening

Quoting: BeamboomThere's delays one can understand - almost expect - and then there's delays that makes me worried. This is one of those.
Wasn't this supposed to be ready at the launch of the Steam controller? Were'nt they so sure about that, that they even marketed it as a launch preorder bonus?
I don't think they've stated it would be ready by SteamOS launch. They always said it would be ready by the end of this year. But, of course you would think Valve might have been convinced at some point it was going to be ready at that time.

I'm not worried. Their attitude is great so far.

Quoting: SnevI'll probably buy the Steam controller when Rocket League comes out on linux as it's still free with the controller, right? But then it won't be a Linux sale... .
...You snooze, you lose, as the saying goes.
That's what my boss keeps telling me too :o

Great!

Let me take this opportunity to give some attention to the active OpenRCT2 [External Link] project for those who don't know the existence yet.

Edit: Now if someone would like to use the awesome openRCT2 code on top of UE4 and extend it with some 3D views...

Arma 3 Is Officially Being Worked On For Linux By An External Team, Won’t Be Native
29 Apr 2015 at 8:07 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestWhat is meant with native in this case? That it is not supported by BI or what?
I'm also a bit confused about the meaning of native in this context. You could interpret as either:
1) not by the core team
2) wrapper

I would like to guess 1 instead of complaining already that it's 2.

Perhaps you can double check with them Liam?
