fucking fuck.

Welp, looks like I might not get it then. dammit why did I have to part out my acer lapto- oh right that thing was useless.

Do you just have to get it to start up in order to get the item?

Yes, I got mine as soon as I got to the main menu.

[Bibo]

What if the main menu is black?

[Bibo]

Apparently if you launch TF2 with the -textmode option then you'll get the item as well. I might have to do this if I still get the black screen bug.

[Bibo]

Okay even with the black screen bug I got it.

Yeah, I can't even get to the -textmode option.

So, check this out.

I can load TF2, barely, on Windows on my Acer Aspire One AOD150 *netbook*.  A fucking netbook.  Windows 7 Professional, 32-bit.

In Linux? No fucking dice.  I get that stupid OpenGL error.

So.  What am I going to do?  I'm siding with redlid.  Steam for Linux, yes.  Games for Linux?  Not fucking hardly.

I'm kinda pissed off because I don't have the time to spend rebuilding another system right now JUST to get a goddamn Tux plushie in TF2.

I'm confused why everybody is so excited about the Tux thing. Isn't it just an in-game plushy?

Yes.

Fuck your logic, man.  Some people do crack, I love my free TF2 virtual items.

I'm still waiting for a redlid shoe that my pyro can wear as a hat in-game.

And the problems begin for Valve: http://askubuntu.com...troys-my-ubuntu

TL;DR: Steam has dependencies on 12.04 packages. If you install it on 12.04.2, it causes a bunch of essential packages to be downgraded, and when you reboot, you find yourself in front of a console. YAY!

Welcome to dependency hell, Valve.

I'm worried about rebooting. I haven't gotten anything like that though. I've just been using the Steam install from before.

[lucas]

You are worried about rebooting ... just use Windows FFS.

[Tibuda]

I'd love to see redlid with a shoe, but I have to agree that Steam can't be released for this shit we call Linux.
