Test Profile has to be fixed

The benchmark worked out for me after the following fixes:

1. Fix path to steam library(I use non-default one, so $DEBUG_REAL_HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps has no 'common' dir)
2. Change game language to English, otherwise the resulting csv file is not parsed correctly and the resulting FPS is not shown, just 'no result' is reported.

As for the port itself I'm disappointed - it really sucks, that's what I see in MachineInfo in benchmark result csv:

OS: Windows XP Service Pack 3

and

Version Info: 32Bit Exe - 1.0.1642943 3/14/2014 12:00:00 AM

No SLI support(nvidia) on linux - FPS is even lower that in single GPU mode So this has to be played on windows actually(the executable is windows/32 bit), at least in case of SLI config...

I bought it and am very pleased with it

Thanks, I shall reconsider buying game. But I won't buy it full price as Steam doesn't support my distro, and in case it doesn't work for me - it means I lost money for nothing.

I also waited for a special promotion and bought it with a discount. I own an optimus notebook, not particularly powerful, but the game runs fine with medium settings. Finished it without any problems (except having to start steam with optirun/primusrun instead of just changing the launch options within steam). I do not care if it is a native port or if it uses a wrapper. Having played many games through wine I only care it works with linux. Based on this experience I will definitely purchase other eON based games.

Yes, Valve should support every little distro with their weird systems out there. Be it Arch, Gentoo or Parabola OS. Hell I think they should even go out and support stuff like Temple OS. Then noone can say that, "hey! it's not running on my distro". Plus it would be a very good move financially. The 0.00001% of the user base will bring in some serious cash to justify the development time.
