War Thunder MMO Officially Launches On Linux
6 Nov 2014 at 8:35 pm UTC

Quoting: loggfreakwhen i try to run the game in windowed mode, my mouse seems to leave the warthunder window when i move down, making it impossible to aim down, i can aim up and left and right perfectly fine, but when i move down it leaves the window for some reason
and when i try to run it in fullscreen it gives me a segmentation error :(

on a positive note though, the game's framerate is great getting 60-65fps even on high with my gt755m
Try to force the window to fullscreen in your window manager.

Btw.:
./aces -mode:windowed -resolution:1920x1080
is needed only once to start the game and set the ingame options from fullscreen to windowed. After that, aces starts up just fine.

Steam's Second Linux Birthday Is Today

Happy Birthday Steam, can't applaud Valve enough for their efforts. Thanks to you, I deleted my (only) Windows 7 in September. Never missed it since. I can make beats with Bitwig and play on steam. Linux finally ROX everywhere I need it. Now I'm looking forward to the Steam Machines/Controller.

Thank you Liam and Tony, plans sound great.
@aL: Neither GOG nor Humble Bundle have similar (working) Linux clients to steam. So yea, I think it's a brilliant idea to make an intuitive, good looking and working multiplatform "game-library-manager".

Transistor Available On Linux Now

I played 20 minutes and quit immediately because I have to finish (epic long) Wasteland 2 first, then give my full attention to Transistor. Sounds, visuals, everything in my first impression is amazing!

Dead Island Zombie Game Now Available On Linux For Some (updated)

Quoting: EKRboiDude, nobody else claimed it so you now own Dead Island:GOTY (hopefully!! I did send it. I selected the avatar that matches yours here and purchased as a gift.) So let use know how it goes.

If this transaction goes through like I think, it looks like I have another copy of the normal (no DLC) version of Dead Island to give away after buying the franchise pack after all. Add me as a fiend on Steam and you may just get a free game tomorrow



I don't know what I did to deserve it but if I'm not too drunk (which is entirely possible) it looks like I have multiple copies to give away?
Wow, thank you EKR! Received the gift, activated on steam and it's downloading now! I owe you big!

Edit: The port is nice, performance is very good on GTX760!

Quoting: EKRboiI'm walking out the door for the evening. Kind of surprised I have not received a single GOL PM or Steam PM about gifting a copy for a German gamer. Get on it guys and gals. I've committed to giving someone a copy and If no German gamer claims it before I get home or before I wake up in the morning I will let my girlfriend pick a random steam friend to get a FREE copy of Dead Island:GOTY. So friend me on Steam if nothing else and you may be a lucky winner tomorrow :P
Added you in steam. I'm in germany, I don't even see the games steam store page. It would be awesome to get it as gift!
