We have released the retail version of Prey for Linux. You will need our downloadable installer, a valid and unique CD key, and a copy of the game. You can use either the three CD-ROM version, the Collector's Edition DVD-ROM, or a preinstalled copy of the Windows version, such as you would download from Steam.
There is no boxed version for Linux, but any existing Windows version of the game disc will work.
We have also updated the demo installer with fixes for all reported bugs.
Details and downloads are here.
• To install: set the downloaded file to be executable and run it.
chmod a+rx ./prey-installer-12072008.bin ./prey-installer-12072008.bin
• You will need the PC version: either the 3 CD set, the single DVD Collector's Edition, or a normal installed copy of the game, such as you'd download via Steam. You will need a valid and unique CD key in any case. The Mac version's install disc has not been tested, and the XBox 360 version will not work.
• To install the Linux version using datafiles downloaded through Steam, run the installer like this (assuming the Windows partition is mounted at "/mnt/ntfsdisk"):
./prey-installer-12072008.bin --from-install --media '/mnt/ntfsdisk/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/prey/base'
Have fun!
