FORCED SHOWDOWN now available on Linux & SteamOS

Quoting: MyeulCI'm skeptical about the cards concept, even though I loved FORCED :/
Does someone have feedback on this (just be aware that I am not fond of card games, usually) ?
its not a card game..
you just pick up some cards before the match to give you the bonuses you chose. ofc every card consumes mana and you are limited on that.
once you beat boss and start new arenas, you can draw new cards and throw some of the bad ones you got, out.

thats pretty much all there is to do with cards. its pretty much like buffs you can choose from

animations could use heavy work.
if its just smashing robots in space(ship) then it will be quite boring fast.

if there are skills and maybe some interesting puzzles etc it might even work.

Ohh, i hope he finds some skilled people. this game is amazing, but the multiplayer has been broken for ages with going out of sync when moving ships around.

Quoting: Xpanderi just cant make the benchmark work.. using the script, no errors in terminal, all launches fine but game is just waiting in the main menu and doing nothing.

adding all this crap into launch options - game is waiting in the main menu doing nothing

adding -console or +con_enable 1 - makes the game go to main menu but i cant find the key to bring up the console, tried like all the keys on my keyboard
What exact folder is your demo file in?

What keyboard layout do you have?
ok the benchmark.dem file had to be in

/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/dota 2 beta/game/dota

not in
