DayZ is not currently coming to Linux, but the developers are open to it

that’ll be realistic only after we reach the 1.0 version of the game, as the multi platform/system development would become a bit tricky when still in Early Access.
... while it would become very tricky when done afterwards.

Quoting: WorMzyI remain sceptical that this game will ever reach v1.0.
It took me by surprise this thing still... is a thing.

Quoting: Adamfx990That's funny. I get pretty bad simulation sickness and I find the serious engine to be all right (with its option to make the crosshair static and increasing the FOV to around 91) compared to most first person games. I still struggle to play for more than half an hour though.
So, half an hour is on the good end for you? Wow, that's tough...
How do you cope with Source Engine (Half-Life 2 e.g.)?
It's my second worst...

Quoting: LeopardYou bought it and play it with Wine anyway , why should dev port it? Dev don't have to provide support for you , because you're running it on an unsupported system so it is not his/ her problem.
I didn't think of that. It's not only as good - they're getting the money without having to port -, it's even better - they're getting the money without having to port plus they don't need to do support! So it's not only no incentive to port, it's actually an additional incentive not to port. (Still, everybody is free to do as he likes of course. For some, the alternative to using Linux and WINE for gaming might be to not use Linux for gaming at all...)

Quoting: Adamfx990IMO the serious engine is the best engine in the world right now. It runs great on absolutely anything! I'd love to hear what they have to say on this matter.
Their engine is the one giving me most motion sickness (monitor, not VR!) I ever had with any engine... :-/
I was able to reduce it with the settings, but as they introduced special motion sickness settings later, I cannot be the only one...

I could tell you the secret trick how to never ever regret a pre-order again... ;-)

Most of us, including me, are praising Feral for their work. But the developers themselves caring is the true optimum. Except for Feral, that is. But I guess Feral is not in danger of starving due to all games becoming multiplatform. :-)

Quoting: riusmaOK, 36 hours on the game since I bought it (mostly training, but I'm halfway on Laws of War campaign)... I think I'm in love with it! :wub:
So you had 36 hours of solo playing fun with it? Cool!
