Goat Simulator Now In Beta On Linux

It's not private, you just have to opt in.

Half of my brain was still sleeping when I tried installing it (and failed).
Two cups of coffee and an additional 25% of brain cells semi-functioning I got it working *

Why non-existant? Do you think those Steam Machine manufacturers will tell their customers to visit the forums to get their brand new steam machines to function as advertised?

The controller.

[sarmad]

I too want something non-existant =D

All this wishful thinking this year about possible Linux yummies that quite often never eventuate is turning me in to a narcissistic turd =P

I somehow missed the "private beta" part.
Gaah. No brain no worries.

Yes works without problems. Did you opt into the beta? Otherwise it will not work:

Anyone got it to work under Steam/Linux.
Steam lets me install it under Linux, but the installation takes 20 seconds (far too fast) and play doesn't work....

this is one of the best game i've ever played. i like it when he's climbing. hahah.

[Kivada]

Yeah, I know I can do that. I just wanted a complete easy-to-setup solution rather than spend time setting it up myself. I also want the Steam Controller.

From what I gather the PS4 controller support is already pretty good, I'm going to pick up one of those, not just for gaming, but for inevitable mods as it has that touch screen, when the Steam controller was first announced it also had a touch screen, but it has since been dropped from the design for more hardware buttons.

But yeah, just buy a prebuilt gaming machine from Zareason and tell them you want SteamOS installed instead of Ubuntu or Fedora, theres your Steambox without a controller...

Wow, there went two hours of my life. Now I will dream of rocketpowered demon goats. Too bad the game is so small. It would have been better at 5€ at 10€ it is still mostly justified through novelty.
