Deadfall Adventures Is Out For Linux, AMD Users Beware

[tomtomme]

No hack Just buy it and you can install it normally. Yeah i noticed the database isn't so much up to date, unfortunately. But some games you'll need to first buy, then right-click on the game in your library section, select properties and under the "betas" tab there you can select to opt in for "linux beta" or similar. I had to do this for Euro Truck Simulator 2 before it came out of the beta.

gamingonlinux.com is also a great resource to find out what games are available for betas etc..

Thanks again for all the info!
Sadly Braid is not installing via linux-Steam even when I opt into beta. It says platform not supported. Sadly none of my about 50 windows-only games will install...

There is also some times when you need to own the game already to be able to install it. Just go to steampowered.com and buy the game that way, instead of via the steam client..

Thanks!
Sadly the link is even more confusing. Games that show me a linux icon like Garry?s Mod are listed by steamDB as showing NO linux icon. So something is definitely wrong there. In addition: There are games like Braid that have really no linux-icon, so steam won?t let me install it - but steamDB says it should work, and through the humble-bundle installer it definitely works on linux.....

So how did you make deadfall adventures install via steam on linux???? Is there a hack?

It's Unreal Engine 3. Unreal is a series of FPS games, and Unreal 3 does not exist (yet).

That's what i meant. Sorry for my bad formulation

And on install steam does not say that it is not compatible with linux??
I?d like to know which other titles install on linux-steam. Could you provide a full list please or a link to the source where I can pick them myself?

Thx!!

Well, Deadfall Adventures to name one It doesnt show a penguin on the steam pages.. My point was that i've seen too many games listed in the linux section on steam that doesn't work at all or has really, really crappy performance. While other unlisted games, like this one, actually works

Deadfall runs nice on my i7-2700K with 8 GB ram and a Geforce GTX660Ti. This game obviously uses the Unreal 3 engine and shares the same bugs with Painkiller Hell & Damnation for example. Like long loading times and effy mouse control (fixed by disabling mouse smoothing in game options)

Well, I'm the porter and it works for me.

DUUUUUDE, THANKS!
Game looks really nice. Puts my Computer at the knees. And its not the worst one out there. Vishera + GTX 660 +32 gig of 1600 DDRAM.
But to be honest i suspect game still could be optimized somehow. May be I am wrong.
