The Humble Indie Bundle V

txus · 2012-05-31 20:38:48

It's here. And it's AWESOME.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

It got over 500.000$ in its first 2 hours! And will probably hit a million shortly!!

Teyras · 2012-05-31 21:09:14

Any PKGBUILDs yet?

TastyPi · 2012-05-31 21:22:12

Right, now the long task of getting all the games to work.

Bastion: Installer is awsome - it automatically creates a pacman package if you tick the box at the beginning! Unfortunately, when I try and play the game, it shows the logos then just a black screen. Sound works, and clicking makes a cursor appear. I can even use the invisible menu and start a new game, but there isn't a lot of point playing if I can't see anything...

Psychonauts: A window flashes on the screen, before it segfaults complaining of the missing OpenGL extension GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc (even though I have libtxc_dxtn installed).

Limbo: Uses Wine. That's not a Linux port. Also crashes when I try to start it.

Sword and Sworcery: Still downloading. I think the Humble Bundle servers are feeling the strain.

So great games and all, but I have yet to play any of them. Can't wait for Steam on Linux...

txus · 2012-05-31 22:22:53

Yeah, the servers are quite busy...

I haven't had the time to try even the soundtracks, so for now I can't offer any PKGBUILD or solution to the installers, sorry! I hope to get some time tomorrow friday.

hehe I bought it early.
Sword and Sworcery works perfectly (it's 32bit though. I ran in a 32bit chroot with no trouble).
Bastion: blank screen also...

I have the crappy G45 intel graphics. I think bastion needs model 2 shaders..

TastyPi · 2012-05-31 22:39:08

Sword and Sworcery finished downloading and works great for me - I didn't need to use a 32bit chroot. I'm really gutted about Bastion, I've been wanting to play it for ages but never managed to get it working under NaCl.

KingX · 2012-05-31 22:41:04

Yeh I picked up the bundle also. Bastion works really well for me (Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB, nvidia 295.53), just spent an hour playing it.. fun game. Will be trying other games shortly.

I am having issues running LIMBO also, bit sad it uses crossover looks like the dev took a shortcut rather than doing a proper port. If I just use wine to run the exe then it runs, but errors out when trying to run with "launch-limbo.sh"

Bastion works for me if I run it using the -windowed command line option (use -x and -y to set the width and height respectively).

so you have multilib installed?
bastion in window mode doesn't work for me either. do you have intel gpu?

doorknob60 · 2012-05-31 23:04:47

Bought it, looks very good this time around The only game I downloaded though was Limbo, since I'm way over my bandwidth cap and it resets tomorrow, but it crashes when I start it. It's a crossover port which is unfortunate, but apparently the audio technology used in Limbo was a middleware unable to be ported. I'd be fine if it worked, but it doesn't, at least not in Arch. Any ideas? I'll try the other games tomorrow when I get more bandwidth.

EDIT: Limbo works fine if I just run limbo.exe with Wine, so as long as I can play it fine, I guess that's alright I guess. Oh well, least it works now Will download the other games shortly.

Same here about Limbo. That's sad.

Can't wait to try the other ones. I've never seen a Bundle with so many interesting games. I'm especially eager to try Psychonauts.

I do indeed have multilib libraries installed, but I don't know which ones are needed.

I have a Radeon gpu. Do you get any errors when you run Bastion from the command line?

TastyPi · 2012-05-31 23:46:56

So I got Psychonauts to start by installing lib32-libtxc_dxtn from the AUR, but after the Double Fine intro (with horrible audio) it crashes with a floating error or something. On the third attempt to run it, the was no sound, and it didn't have a floating point error, but it did completely freeze, and since it had grabbed both my mouse and keyboard, I had to go into a tty to kill it.

For Sword & Sworcery EP, I needed the following:

lib32-mesa (fixes the libglu error)
lib32-libpulse (for sound)
lib32-nvidia-utils (Nvidia cards only)

There may be other libs I forgot that were previously installed from (my installed 32-bit libs: http://pastebin.com/LXX7iGbr), but the key for me was lib32-libpulse that fixed my sound issues.

EDIT: Clarification.

To fix Bastion on Intel integrated cards, do something like the following:

force_s3tc_enable=true ./Bastion.bin.x86_64

Setting this environment variable enables a specific texture compression algorithm in the video driver. With this, the game runs great on my Intel chipset.

While trying to install Bastion on Arch, I get the following:

[me@host folder]$ sh Bastion-HIB-2012-05-29-2.sh

I had the same problem, try the fix in the second post here: linkey. It worked for me, unfortunately I'm now stuck on the black screen issue .

So far I have tried:

sh Bastion-HIB-2012-05-29-2.sh

sh -x Bastion-HIB-2012-05-29-2.sh

sh Bastion-HIB-2012-05-29-2.sh --frontend=ncurses

sudo sh Bastion-HIB-2012-05-29-2.sh

and still no luck. :-( Same error each time.
I'm running a pretty clean install of Arch Linux with GNOME3.
Perhaps I miss some unspecified dependencies?

it was the first suggestion that worked for me, to use --target TempDir --noexec and then navigate to the TempDir and run startupinstaller.sh from there (so try "Bastion-HIB-1012-05-29-2.sh --target ./bastion/ --noexec" then "cd ./bastion/" then "./startupinstaller.sh"). You didn't mention that you had tried that I think(then again it is late so I could be reading wrong lol. If so I think there might be a few other solutions on the frictional forums, they use the same installer as the bastion guys.

This worked like a charm! What a strange bug... Oh well, let's see how this goes. :-) Thanks.

I got this because my /tmp partition ran out of space. To fix it, run the installer with --target pointing to a directory with more space.

Bastion-HIB-2012-05-29-2.sh --target $HOME/Games/tmp

dcc24 · 2012-06-01 07:25:54

I've created an AUR package for Limbo: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59673

Thanks! Works for me! Very slow in areas with rain, although better slow than a blank screen.

hagabaka · 2012-06-01 09:07:18

In case someone is stuck with the same problem I had: with Baston's installer, when prompted for the "Administrator" password, you should enter your password to sudo, not root password. Otherwise the installer doesn't progress, but still keeps using a lot of CPU.

To anynone who will make & maintain packages in aur:
★ Environmental variable for key of this hib is "_humblebundleVkey". Example from previous hib.
★ Do not compress data twice — embed this line to disable compression of the package:

PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'
