Chivalry: Medieval Warfare To Begin Linux Port Testing

By Guest - | Views: 25,229

Hi everyone, we'd like to get your help in testing Chivalry for Linux and Mac OS X.

Everyone who owns Chivalry should now have access to the Linux and OS X versions. Currently you will need to switch to a Beta branch to access this, the "linuxtesting" branch (for both OS X and Linux).

To access the port testing beta from the Desktop Steam client, right-click on Chivalry in the library, click Properties, click on the BETAS tab, and choose linuxtesting from the drop-down.

From Big Picture, open up Chivalry's page in the Library, move left to "Links & More", and down to "Select Beta..."; open this, choose "Ports testing (Linux+Mac)" from the drop-down, and choose OK.




If you can't see the branch, you may need to restart Steam first.

The Linux and Mac OS X builds should run without any additional dependencies required so long as you have Steam installed. Steam should include all the necessary libraries.

Performance on Linux should be roughly what it is on Windows for the same hardware, with potentially up to a 10% difference or so. OS X should be similar. Performance differences are going to come from differences between UE's renderers, and between OpenGL drivers.

We don't have much in the way of Mac hardware, so any performance reports we can get would be helpful, especially if you can compare performance to the game running natively in Windows, but even if not. Comparisons on Linux would also be really helpful.

Please post any bug reports, performance reports, or other feedback to:

Quoting: Metallinatuswhat about the Deadliest Warrior DLC? I can't play the game without it

Works pretty well my end! :)

Runs on opensource amd drivers, which is great. Unfortunately the framerate drops every few seconds during fight, which makes it a choppy experience. Also I wonder whether vsync option works, because I seem to be stuck on 60 fps max.

ok i think i found the problem why i dont have files.

linux depot has a lot less subs attached: https://steamdb.info/depot/241281/subs/

than windows depot: https://steamdb.info/depot/241280/subs/

reported already on their forums as well..lets hope for the best

edit: ok they fixed it fast after reporting... its downloading now :)

Wow thank you for the port. I'll be testing it tomorrow. It's unexpectedly awesome that you made the article yourselves, I wouldn't think of a better way to get in touch with the community :) Keep it up

Quoting: marcelomendesI would ask the same. If we buy and install only the beta/test-build, will it count as Linux or Windows sale?

I think steam registers which platform you play the game on most, as the one that counts.
Xpander Jan 14, 2015
so far so good..few small graphical glitches
performance i think is pretty good for a old GPU like 660Ti

But does it properly register a platform that is not officially supported? I know there are rumors of Linux sales showing up for games that don't have Linux versions simply because someone bought the game on Linux, but I couldn't find anything to actually confirm those rumors.
