AMD is really catching up in the last months. They move on, mantle is confirmed now:

FLASHOUT 2 Racing Game Game-play Video & Some Thoughts

I wish the devs would have put some extra time in it to make a "SteamOS version" whitch would eliminate these small, obvious flaws for a PC game. For this port, I'd pay 2-3 €.

After all that FUD spread about OpenGL/Linux gaming in the last weeks, it's good to see this great game beeing released for Linux. Downloading now!

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition Released For SteamOS Linux

Quoting: AnonymousOK fixed it. Add LC_ALL=C %command% launch option in Steam and choose English as a language for the game, and you can change any option you want. Runs fine on Hi Spec graphical settings on i7 4770 and GTX 660.
Thank you! I always needed this command for unity-engine based games like Kerbal. But as far as I know, Witcher 2 has it's own engine. Maybe an OpenGL bug? Some deeper insight would be nice if anybody knows.

Quoting: AnonymousCan anyone play this on Arch Linux? Here I've got no keyboard input whatsoever, keys unbind just when I start the game. Please, tell me that it's not yet ANOTHER bad port...
Same problem for me on Kubuntu 14.04 x64/Nvidia. Tried also with XB360 Pad. No input. If I set keys manually, the game crashes. I had it installed since the "beta" was accidentially released on steam, maybe it works after re-download.. I'll try

Nice to hear about the Linux port, but I'm disappointed to hear that Linux users have to wait again after a Windows release. Conclusion: no buy in May, maybe I'll get the game on a sale or might trade it.
