will those of us who have already bought Darwinia be able to register our boxed copies to our Steam accounts? IV: No. That would be a logistical nightmare - think about it! TSR: Will your new relationship with Valve lead to any new content, features or improvements to any of your games? IV: Certain...

the only reason steam should not run for you is that your computer sucks seriously. if so, its about time you upgraded. Or you could be running linux or mac osx if its cos of an over protective firewall, you should seriously consider changing to a different firewall (not just for steam tho). Becaus...

Ah one thing I just noticed The Steam version is cheaper? Steam Website Valve and Introversion today announce that Darwinia, Introversion's multi-genre title, will be available to gamers worldwide on December 14, 2005 via Steam for $19.95 Darwinia Website for £19.99 (UK) or $29.99 (USA) Which means ...

Yes you can. It is fully supported by Cedega and as I said earlier the existing Linux client may well be extended to provide for Darwinia when the time comes. It may work on cedega, but from what I have read whenever there is a steam update there are or have been problems with it. Altho this point ...

What this means is that the Linux version will still be available for downloading Ah I must have read wrong :? Right there in bold print # You are buying a CD with Linux and Windows that will be sent via the post. # Your purchase entitles you to instantly download the LINUX version ONLY. # We do no...

wow equk, you really haven't been paying attention huh? my first post in this thread was about how i finished the demo about half an hour after they announced that they were moving to steam for distribution... i went to the site ready to buy and download the game only to discover i couldnt. anyway....

Linux users are not being dropped. Reread this topic, noting comments made by Chris or Vic. That's why I said for now What this means is that the Linux version will still be available for downloading Ah I must have read wrong :? Let us assume, for a moment, that you are correct, and that everyone h...

possibly, but then again, i live in south australia so its only a possibility! i also actually like the idea of getting it over steam and playing it right after i pay for it. like you could have done when the online order and download was on the darwinia website? (without having to download steam)

Well this is certainly excellent news! Steam is a world wide system that any country can access. Is that not like the darwinia website which is world wide? which was providing sales direct with direct download? I think the main points here are: Linux users feel dissapointed that at the moment they ...

personally I'd sooner pay for the game from the maker and download it directly from a site rather than download a client to download it for me and pay someone else?! how big is steam? (I notice the installer is 1mb) comparable to the 30mb of the game? :? seems steam is just adding another 'middleman...

Great news indeed, but dropping the ability to download from the main site? What about Linux users? I know several people who would never have bought Darwinia if the option to download the Linux version hadn't existed :? This is an excellent point :) I only bought the game because I could play it o...

people use steam? have seen loads of peeps saying its rubbish/laggy etc :( good moneymaker for valve if they make 40% tho :? :shock: The initial launch with Halflife 2 was a little laggy, but that was mainly because everyone was unlocking their content at the same time, which is quite intensive con...

ah nice :) I have an intro working now, I'm just trying to work out how to get a map/level intro to work so when you enter the level you get a welcome etc. I tried doing it via a buildingonline trigger but it doesn't seem to work :( Event BuildingOnline :bios,3 Action RunScript Bios_Intro.txt End It...

Well I made my first map with a trunk portal as the mission etc and it all seems to work ok :) http://news.equk.co.uk/images/darwiniafirstmapsm.jpg click for larger image I had a problem taking a screenshot in linux :( had to put it into windowed mode (which is why res is only 1024x768). I also repl...
