This would be a really really nice surprise, but I am not too sure it will come :-( .
The game is made using directx9 will they really have an OpenGL version ? ( any statement from them ? )
Linux gaming needs a commercial racing game so bad, but up to now there is not even one.

I really hope "90th arcade racer" will show up soon, but I think, whoever will be the first with a goodracing game will sell a lot of copys of his game as there is really is a big need for this in the linux market.

yes yes you can mange the automated download, but what I wrote about is that this does not work in all cases!
I had automatic updates on for Dota2 but I wanted to play somehting from the steam workshop. Now I first had to wait for dota... Usually you have the option to order the downloads but .. somehow obviously not in all cases.
And this was just an example for many things in steam were you have to wait. But it looks like this is not a linux only problem as I saw similar things at a friend who uses windows. For me steam always means waiting waiting waiting in too many cases.

Steam starts up in a few secons for you ? Unbelievable, on all(5) our computers it always needs more than a minute to start/login and whatever it does there, more 2 minutes. Shutdown steam itself is fast if you do it via steam menu. But if I shutdown my computer and forgot to stop steam manually I am lost and have to wait patiently for the shutdown. ( also the same on all of our computers )

Steam still has so many bugs and annoying things I am still not willing to report all those things. ( ok I did not try THIS version, but the changelog is small ).

What about starting and even worse stopping steam?
Starting steam takes ages, what the hell are they doing there? It looks like they download all settings for all games one has and with more games it gets slower and slower and slower.
Even worse is shutting down your computer while steam runs. It takes upp to 60 seconds to "convince" steam to stop and let the computer shutdown. Thats really annoying!

And all those automated updates which you often cannot stop and order the right way, especially if you start using the steam workshop. Sometimes you are allowed to stop and order things , sometimes you are not :-/ . Yesterday I had to wait 20 Minutes for a Dota2 update just to be "allowed" to start loading a mappack from the steamworkshop for serioussam2 which I wanted to play.

Only good thing is, steam brings many games to Linux and nearly all of them work really good.

@Magevania, this is not true! Those Unreal Engine 3 games are native! No wine library used! Same for unity based games with real linux ports.
( I don't own Europa Universalis IV but I think this a real port too! )

Cool this is really a game for me!
But Painkiller: Hell and Damnation  port still needs some work too, as its not too stable yet. I still have random crashes.

Does this game still have those horrible loading times? I was so annoyed that I completly stopped playing it.

to solve sound issue do this in Ubuntu 12.04:

edit Darkmod.cfg and replace:

seta s_alsa_pcm "default"

with

seta s_alsa_pcm "plughw:0"
