Hi.

...and this, already on steam forums:

I want to run a linux dedicated server, and i have steam working on Ubuntu 14.10 LTS, and also have KF installed on it.



But steam will not let me reopen KF to play on it on my windows machine (main pc).



Its' quite frustrating.



This is also, relevant to my post here:

...provided steam, would actually let me run multiple instances of KF. Without asking me to boot, the other one off steam. >_<



Thank you.

PS: i will gladly pay for a non-steam related release if i have too; so i can host a dedicated linux server, that i can play off my windows machine in the one i bought off steam.



Please tell me a work around for this problem.
