I have about 24 hours on the Linux Beta, and i don't have issues, plus the game is pretty good even if gameplay is quite grindy and repetitive (hunt for bigger mechs, hunt for perfect refits, win until you face bigger mechs, hunt for bigger mechs, etc. The smaller ones are more or less useless the more you progress, sadly).

I played it the first time in Q3 2013, and it was already great.
Today it's clearly awesome.

I still don't like the GUI, and the planetoid maps are a bad good idea, and i don't like the studio because of what they did with PA and Titan back in time.

The game is currently broken.

QuoteHi,

Linux version is currently broken, with a "missing executable" error.

Looking at local files, i only see one folder, with only one packed file : package.nw

Inside this file, there are numerous other files, ogg, png, and some .js too.

A fix would be great !

I really like how they didn't do a generic spacesim design, but instead they went to this weird retro-bubble and very high contrasts. It's visually unique, not always very readable, but it has charisma for sure.

Quoting: daishordIt looks great and I like the setting. Time for a new computer, I fear...

My PC is 4/5 years old, and Helium Rain runs well with everything max/medium.

Linux Mint 64bits Xfce
Intel Core i5 4590 (4 x 3,3 GHz)
MSI GeForce GTX 960 @ 2 Go

I'm doing a video serie on my YT channel also, following the tutorial for the first steps and giving some insight about some stuff. And, it's in french : https://www.youtube.com/c/JeuxIndecents/ Episode 4 is on its way.

This game is huge fun, solo or coop, it's really well done with enough control to justify the lack of control you have over the game...

Ah you're right, i missed it. Indeed it has the icon, but it's not listed in System Requirements, where i looked before commenting. So, games can have SteamOS icon, but no System Requirements listed, at the same time ? I thougth it was mandatory to have both, or neither.

There is mention to Windows and Mac, but not Linux, is it a game with hidden beta Linux ?

If you understand french, i'm doing a "kind of" Let's Play. Not a full game, just some parts from time to time.

This is the playlist with 3 episodes so far. Team at level 1 (start), at level 2, at level 12 :

I'm now at level 16 i think, and still enjoy the game a lot.
