Quoting: metro2033fanboyyet not avaiable !
Only if you own the Windows version, you can use the Beta Version from Arma 3.
It's not even sure if there will be an official Published release of Linux and Mac version.

Quoting: BeamboomWell, they all use the same engine, maybe even the exact same, so it may not be that surprising after all.

I just hope it's a native port, hopefully even with the bugs ironed out. But... I don't hold my breath.
What do you mean native? After the "wrapping" VP has done with Dirt and Arma 3, it could end up having better performance if VP did these ones too. Sure, if it was native, there is a chance they could get the OpenGL performance up to be better than Windows, or on par with it, but it does take more work to do that AFAIK.
Deep Silver Port's are in House port's. I never seen a external Port from Deep Silver.

Ok, the Saints Row Series is now a Deep silver Game series and we know: Deep Silver loves Linux.

I think we get all Deep Silver titles on Linux/SteamOS.

Mighty No. 9 is now a Deep Silver Title and will have a day one Linux release.

KING Art Games Announces Linux Version Of Fantasy RPG 'The Dwarves'
8 Sep 2015 at 9:47 am UTC

Quoting: KeyrockKING Art are a quality developer. The Book of Unwritten Tales games were quite good. I don't know if I'll pledge (I've grown weary of crowdfunding in general), but it's a game I'd certainly consider buying when it releases.
Yes you are full right.

Nvidia Video From SIGGRAPH Talks About Vulkan
4 Sep 2015 at 6:22 am UTC

Quoting: Maelrane...
Most developers who develop for the Xbox, deal with DX 12.
Others want to make it depends on the success of Windows 10, whether use Vulkan or DX 12.

And so we come back to my numbers.

Now you can count Elke, why the dev should use Vulkan in Desktop Sektor.
You forget a major thing: Developing a mobile game is way less complicated and time-intensive than creating a full AAA-blockbuster-game.

So while your number may be accurate, DX12 and Vulkan will only be relevant in a few years. If big studios think that Windows 10 will be the next big thing by then, they will support DX12 and maybe neglect Vulkan.

So, the situation on the desktop is not *that* easy, sadly (for us)
I don't talk about the Mobile Sector.
I don't use Mobile devices. we talk here from the desktop sector, Linux/Mac/Windows gaming and AAA titles.
And why Vulkan have a chance in the desktop sector.

And if i see the selling Units in the Windows sector, Vulkan have a big chance.
Ok for Windows 10 we don't have realy sales numbers, but for Vista, Seven and 8 we have.

EA/Dice will/want support Vulkan or DX 12. My hope is Vulkan. Valve supports Vulkan and many other will do, too.
And if i see how many Indi games runs on openGL then will the list get longer and longer from the Vulkan supporters.

Microsoft has enjoyed with Nokia in the mobile sector, for example, a crash landing. So DX 12 was in the mobile sector not a big number.

On the Xbox only DX 12 is a big number, but will be it in the desktop sector, too?

We have at this time over 400 Millions Windows 7, maybe 100 Millions Windows 8 and ca.30 Millions Windows 10 Installations.

Windows 10 and his Keyloggers and trojans was not a big selling hit and will be a flop, as Windows 8 or Vista or maybe not.

We will see.
If Windows 10 flops, DX 12 will flop, too.

Why? You get it only with Windows 10.

And I do not think thats Windows 10 nor more than 600 Millonen units until late this year or even until the middle of next year, sold
