i mean an official sign up sheet

However, here what i came here to post

I have some news on the release date....
February 2013 (Don't blame the messenger )

Beta will be out my the end of the year

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE3Mzg

Grudaire · 01-09-2012 7:05pm

Surprised they'd wait that long to bring it out - other than making sure it's running without any hitches.

What would one have to do to get on a beta?

bpb101 · 05-09-2012 6:49pm

valve os?
vbuntu?

Take down windows as the most popular gaming distro?

Why are valve investing in linux gaming for just 1 percentage market share?

Here some thoughts

I do hope he is accurate. If the beta is coming soon. What do people think regarding the first official release not coming until early 2013. There has been some chat regarding that time as the release time for the final version

I think the reason why it won't be released to feb 13
Is well

Valve, it has a reputation for stability
It can't be seen to relase something that is not completely stable

Anybody who uses Linux and wants to game , knows the story about Linux valve support
They will use the beta, they will find the beta and it won't bother them
However , if they call it a beta, they won't get stick for bugs
Things can't be judged on a beta

Wonder how the pricing will go ?
Full 20 quid or a special discount as a promotion

bpb101 · 10-09-2012 4:25pm

10 games confirmed for linux

BopNiblets · 18-09-2012 12:34pm

^ This Youtube channel appeals to me for some reason... :pac:

Anyway, thought this would be a good place to ask: is anyone is currently playing Source games through WINE managed to overcome stuttering lag issues in HL2 or TF2 or CS?
I found this one where it's sound related that I'm going to try and fix when I get home: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27453
Just wondering if anyone has managed to get perfect smooth gameplay?

I did, yeah. I played HL2 about 2/3rd's of the way through. Had some graphics artefacts but no other issues. It was a while ago though (like more than a year ago).

Q6600, 8800GTS, 2G of RAM at the time.

bpb101 · 19-09-2012 3:15pm

I posted this a while back

anybody think we will be playing l4d2 on Saturday night?

No. That’s the purpose of the sign up web page. More information regarding the process will be posted in the near future.

bpb101 · 27-10-2012 12:42pm

ITS TIME
Start a small survey for like 2 seconds to enter
http://www.valvesoftware.com/linuxsurvey.php

Suggestion - select 32 bit ( development is only 32 bit ATM)
Ubuntu of course
Be honest ( There looking for the best development possible ( if your machine wont run the game , why bother entering))

You do need a steam account , which most of us have.
Would highly suggest everybody to enter that have am interest in this.
It would be great to get somebody here involved

matrim · 27-10-2012 3:19pm

Signed up now. Hopefully I get the chance

shizz · 27-10-2012 5:29pm

Tried to sign up but no survey was on the page. Just had a button telling me to submit my results. I clicked it without thinking really and was greeted with a sign saying thanks for doing the survey. Can't do it now...

bpb101 · 27-10-2012 5:39pm

na , i jump quickly to 12.10 , having a few problems ( think i have a bug), sent in a report but no news.

Amazon searches and the music store i dont like.Not many new features in it.

However , in 13.04 they are working on a secret development. looking forward to that.

Will have to format my linux on my gaming pc( on external hdd) if i'm picked as its a 64 bit

Beta Access

No time frame was given for either the limited beta release or the following ‘general’ one, but Bliss did say that users ‘won’t have to wait until 2013′ to get hold of them.

Edit : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/steam-for-linux-to-drop-mid-november?
Mid November for the general beta release

bpb101 · 31-10-2012 12:35am

bpb101 · 06-11-2012 2:17am

Folks , can I get a show of hands who have signed up for the beta

Just curious in asking

Khannie · 06-11-2012 1:13pm

I can't get into my steam account to reset my password without steam.....it's a catch 22.

Ah I might install it through wine over the weekend, but I'd like to sign up.

Nah, their site says:

The Steam client must be installed to reset your Steam account password.

release less than 30 minutes ago ( 15 by the time i started this post

)

Folks , if you didnt get an email. you waren't selected. The beta has just began
http://store.steampowered.com/news/9289/

Over .... wait for it..... 60,000 people signed up. This in my option is massive. considering Canonical only estimate only just over 20,000 use ubuntu . of these 60,000

“An overwhelming majority of beta applicants have reported they’re running the Ubuntu distro of Linux,” according to Frank Crockett, a member of the Steam for Linux team

"This is a huge milestone in the development of PC gaming,” according to Gabe Newell, Valve President and co-founder. “Steam users have been asking us to support gaming on Linux. We’re happy to bring rich forms of entertainment and our community of users to this open, customer-friendly platform.”

The games included are Free to play team fortress and 24 others

Edit: I wonder weather the steam linux beta was assigned to your account or what?
Either way i believe the download might be leaked.

Anybody here get on it.

Even more so when you consider it barely made news on any of the tech sites.

Finding the game list is a bit hard , as you have to search and filter so here a link for people that want to look at the prizes.

"Steam for Linux limited beta has begun!
The first wave of welcome emails has been sent out!
If you've filled out the survey but haven't received an email don't despair. We will be expanding the beta in the future with more participants from the survey.

Thanks for all your support in getting this out the door,
