DLC is ready also?

At https://store.steampowered.com/app/652960/Life_is_Strange_Before_the_Storm_DLC__Deluxe_Upgrade/ I can see olny Windows requeriments and not the Linux & Mac requeriments.

Thank you so much for your work, Feral! I can't wait to fire it up. It's quite a large download though. Is the size intended to be twice that of the Windows version?

My saves are lost :( I thought cloud sync would keep them around but I have to start over..

Edit: Not lost, just not synced. I had to transfer the save files from where Steam Play put them into the place Feral puts them.

Running on opensuse leap 15 via nvidia driver 390.87 which is lower than the system requirements.

Thanks Feral!

My game wouldn't start today. Yesterday it worked fine all day.
Running on Ubuntu 18.04 / NVIDIA 396.54

To fix this, I had to rename ~/.local/share/feral-interactive and let the game create a new one. Works fine since then.

Thanks to bringing it to MacOS! great job, runs well on my MacBook Air!

Are you guys able to put the purse on the table (beginning of EP1 - Chloe's home) ? I just can't. Also, I still have that beer in my inventory for some reason. The option to put the purse there is missing, I even restarted the entire game and still can't put it on the table.

EDIT 1: Also, I got teleported and stuck in the garage after shaking the snowball.

EDIT2: Feral I found a workaround, you should definitely know about it.

"LC_ALL=C %command%" launch parameters fixed it. My system language is set to CZ, could this be the reason?

EDIT3: I sent an e-mail to support@feralinteractive.com
