for us none .deb users:

open .deb with ark
open data.tar.gz
extract the bootstraplinux_ubuntu12_32 file to directory named Steam (where you please)
execute ./steam.sh
it will update and you will end up with the inlog screen
enter login, it will see your on a new pc, get code from your email, enter it and your in :)

no other dependencies or root needed, there are some gtk errors, but that is why its beta

by the look of the directory structure they seem to go for builds per distro_version, but as long as your close enough with the libraries there should be little problem.

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6157, member: 1".deb means you need to usually install as root, but it can then do what it wants from there remember.

yup, why I like installing games and such as user :) was just wondering.

.deb means you need to install as root, never used ubuntu so correct me if I am wrong ? so not like desura where its a local/user install ?

according to [URL='http://penny-arcade.com/report/editorial-article/chris-roberts-star-citizen-needs-your-money-to-get-more-money-and-promises-']this one[/URL] its a 10-12mil project with 2-4mil from crowd funding, so makes it 8-10mil private. so the crowd funding/kickstarter is just to show a 3rd party there is interest enough in the game ?

Quoting: "Cheeseness, post: 6095, member: 122"Do you have a source for the private investment stuff? I haven't been able to find any information on that at all.

why I kept it at allegedly :) what I could find is that is the 2mil is reached on the crowd funding then the private investors would kick in, not the amount though, but seen that number fly on the forums.

to be honest I am a bit dubious about this one, it allegedly got 20 million in private funding, saying they would not do one a few days later they had a [URL='http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cig/star-citizen']kickstarter[/URL] where it took 872k, which was 372k more then needed, it added stretch goals like a repair robot which I think are just silly stretch goals, same goes for the stretch goals on this crowd funding... at 3.5 million (so 500k from the 3 million stretch goal) you gone get cockpit decorations..............

I will sit this one out, if it comes out for Linux and it's any good I will line up to buy it, but I feel a bit iffy about funding it.
