(in general discussion for now, please move to a more appropriate category if necessary)
With the recent announcement of Steam Play allowing lots of games to be played on Linux, I was very excited to play FS without having to reboot into my Windows partition. I’ve had a few abortive attempts, including a very entertaining play through the tutorial with no character models loaded at all. However, at some point in the last week or two, something strange has happened.
While the game is still listed as Windows/macOS only in the store, Steam no longer shows it in my library as running via Steam Play. Installing it results in nothing being downloaded (as can be verified from the “Browse Local Files” option, and launching the game gives a “missing executable” error, with the path “~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Fantasy Strike/FS_Linux.bin”.
I’m not sure whether this is a bug report or not, but the deep hope in my heart (that I almost don’t want to jinx by saying out loud) is that this a sign of an upcoming native Linux version.
Can anyone else on Linux reproduce this or is this some half-expected weirdness from running the Steam Beta client?
