Right after the bad news about Cossacks 3 being delayed, we have some nicer news. Virtual Programming are teasing the Linux port of Overlord in a new video.

They also did a previous video here, where it stated it was coming very soon.

The video isn't exactly inspiring though, no actual gameplay shown and a lot of it is logos.

Their porting has improved for sure, but they still have some ways to go. Some of VP's ports are really bad for me. Arma 3 for example refuses to use any textures above Low, and 99% of the time it's the only option I can pick and they have no idea what's causing it. Their Saints Row ports are also not great with all the stuttering, so I am hoping they continue to improve their porting method. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

also Arma 3 played fine on AMD with the open source drivers when i tried it on a "free weekend"
but Saints Row 2-3 are really terrible :(

I wish I had not bought it on Windows when it was released. Though, happy to be able to play this wonderful game again. Had a lot of fun with it.

Fixed.

The Arma comments are totally fair, but from what I understand, Saints Row for PC is fairly dodgey for Windows as well. I find them playable, even on Intel graphics (with a wrapper script to force the GL version).
Here's hoping this works out well. It's already in my library, and behaves _bizarrely_ in Wine.

Is there any way to see at which point they are with the arma 3 port? A forum o something like it? Because I haven't seen any progress for quite some time...

VP is teasing a lot of videos lately in their youtube channel... Chronicles of Riddick included.

I don't have many problems with SW3, runs ok here... The only issue is the "infinite loading time" (1 to 5 mins the first load)

I'm giving out my extra copy of this game, go comment here on reddit if you're interested.


EDIT

gone

Oha. That port would be new (to me). Though, I like Riddick, so I certainly would want that game to release for Linux.
