Was Linux support dropped?

[hockdudu]

This game supported Linux not so long ago, I played some good ~20 hours on it. For some reason, the Linux version it isn't shown on the store anymore. The Linux depot is still there, but the last update was 3 months ago, while the Mac and Windows were updated 3 days ago (depots[steamdb.info]). Was the support dropped, or there is simply a delay on the port?

I would like to play with my sister and my brother, but I can't.. a few months ago we could.
Thanks.

kinda sad i need to scrap this one from my wishlist... all the best guys, i was looking forward to it as it looked loads of fun.
(No i can't rely on a windows machine on the internet so that route is a no-no for me)

maybe the devs can garantee support with Proton? Then it could still work (just not fully nativly)

As I quoted multiple times in this thread, with Native2Proton HFF works fine also in multiplayer with "real" windows clients.

But make sure to run the FirstTime Setup by hand by exporting your WINEPATH with the installation path of Proton and WINEPREFIX with the prefix generated by n2p.

than you just need to run all *.exe in _CommonRedist inside the human fal falt steamfolder AND also make sure that no file (*.desktop and *.sh) dose not contain ":" as a character otherwise Proton/Steam will fail to luanch the game.

After you set it up correctly, it dose.
Sorry for trying to help...

I appreciate your help, but it is neither "optimal" nor a "out of the box" experience - especially for the masses (the folks that maybe want to switch to (or use) Linux, but are afraid of using the terminal for whatever reason).

It is definitively a "proof of concept", but i am not able to see it as adequate replacement for a native Linux port.

I think it's wonderful that you're trying to help and it's certainly gives people an option, but as Joey said above me it's not an adequate replacement for a Linux native version. You're part of the reason that Linux is awesome.

it's a real shame that linux got dropped - the least would be to make it easy to use proton instead, but even that is blocked -.-
a shame that i'm not able to refund anymore...

Unfortunately we've made the decision to discontinue Linux support so we can focus on new content and features for Windows and Mac versions. Apologies for this but thank you for your understanding!

So, it's OK to take money from buyers but discontinue their version ?

They just did not addressed any of their problems. Very unprofessional.

[ShyGuy]

Yeah, this is kind of dirty.
I'm not even a Linux user, but I can only imagine how some feel when they buy a game for their system while it's advertised as being playable on their system and having support for it, but then having that support pulled with no forewarning or anything.

I'm not gonna stop playing since I have fun with friends on it, but they screwed Linux buyers over and handled it very poorly and deserve the negative PR for it.

Thanks for recognizing it. Too few just say this kind of things...

Good news for others who (like me) have found it a struggle getting N2P to work - the latest Steam Client Beta has added the ability to force-enable Steam Play in per-title properties, including for native games.

1. If you haven't already, opt into the Steam Beta Update by going Steam -> Settings -> Account -> Beta participation -> Steam Beta Update (this step is currently required as of 18th Jan 2019). Allow Steam to restart when prompted.

2. Find "Human: Fall Flat" in your library, right-click it, go to Properties, and at them bottom there should be a new checkbox: "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatability tool" - enable this and you'll be able to run the Windows version directly through steam, no need to debug scripts that struggle with the colon in the game title, no need to add the game back into steam as a non-steam game, everything just works.

Of course, it would've been nice for the dev to carry on updating the linux version, but thanks to valve it's a little easier to play this multiplayer with windows users again.

thanks, it's working. Recommend add PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% -novideo into launch option.
