There are some native games for Linux that I'm going to buy this week.

I like the price of the Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest. I use the CD with a base version, which I bought in 2004, to play it on PC with Pentium 4.

I don't like paying companies that don't create games for Linux, and the expansions were never available on this system. Recently, Openmohaa started adding initial support for both expansions, which is great.

This price is so low now that I won't feel too bad about it.

I hope that Openmohaa will add support for the single-player campaign.

Thanks.

I bought some indie games for Linux, and I'm happy that I will be playing them.

We can't force companies to support Proton/Wine because even Linux users frequently don't want to rely on them.

Many companies starting to feel that Valve set a trap with Steam Deck and Proton. They were happily making money out of developing games for Windows. Now, they have to deal with users that demand to support the poorly documented Windows emulator.

People can always run Windows to play this game. On the other hand, it doesn't solve this issue because you can expect more companies to block Wine/Proton users.

It's too adventurous for me to waste time and money on companies that ignore us. They are so many great companies and programmers that port games to Linux. I think that they deserve to buy games from them.

I'm mad when a company drops support for the native version for Linux. From the get-go, some companies ignore Linux users, and people are always angry because they decided to block them. I presume their decision was predictable, and we can't do anything about it.

You can't win "a game" with a company that created it.

Thanks.

It's awesome to see a game similar to Call of Duty because we probably never had anything like that on Linux.

Quoting: ToploaderNot to take away from the fantastic work done by Loki/Ryan, but we've put in a lot of work since regarding Linux. All the updates we've applied to P2 over the years since AW, such as workshop support, have parity with Linux and it makes maintaining things a lot more time intensive.

Thank you for the answer and the fact that you mentioned the details like workshop support.

On the other hand, I know that you had some issues with updates for Linux in the past.:

I hope it's not a secret, and maybe you can answer these questions:

Did you hire a new employee that maintains and ports games to Linux/Mac?
Did you have someone on your team that learned how to maintain and port games to Linux/Mac?

Quoting: ToploaderIt has been awesome though seeing the Steam Deck come out and seeing how well our past efforts paid off: both P2 and Redux run a lot better with the native client. For this reason we do plan to make a native version of P4 in time, even though it runs pretty well via proton in the here and now.

I will be fun to play Postal 4 for Linux.

I think that Windows is the better option to run games for Windows than Proton. In this case, I will wait for the Linux version.

Thank you for the pictures.

Wow! They really care about their fans, which is awesome.

Quoting: ssj17vegetaThese fine people, with a 20-year old game with a probably vastly obsolete code base, are putting other studios "unable" to ensure proper native Linux versions to shame.

One of the few companies worthy of respect. Kudos to you !

One of the few companies worthy of respect?

I think that I'm too old because I don't understand this way of speaking about companies that release games for Linux.

I respect every company that decided to release games for this operating system. Especially the companies that started to release games before Steam was available for Linux.

RWS is one of the better companies because they were interested in releasing their games to Linux. Unfortunately, we can't forget that Postal was ported to Linux by Loki. Later, Ryan Gordon ported it again to Linux, and he ported Postal 2 for LGP. Icculus was also involved in creating patches for AW. I don't have an issue when companies hire others to port their games to Linux.

I was surprised when they ported Postal 2: Paradise Lost and Postal Redux without any porting houses.

I hope they will surprise us again with POSTAL: Brain Damaged and Postal 4 for Linux in the future.

Quoting: ToploaderNative has better performance by quite a margin, so native is the way to go. We're finally rewarded for supporting Linux all these years later :grin: (it was never a profitable thing in the past, just more a passion project to keep our games native Linux).

I like this game!

Thank you for the update.

I don't know about sales of Postal by Loki. I have always thought that you had a small success with Postal 2 from LGP:

Postal 2 became Linux Game Publishing's fastest selling game in its first month, and contributed greatly to the continuing profitability of the company

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_2 [External Link]

I still have this version from LGP.

When do you plan to release this game on GOG?

Quoting: BelaptirAge of Empires 2 DE is broken on this release. If you try to open it, first you'll see a crash report, then an Xbox login window will appear, then turn completely white and won't go away, effectively blocking and preventing you from playing (I was playing with experimental before and this didn't happen).

Only way to get around this is to go offline to open the game.

Oh no! Well, I'll be waiting for 8.1 in that case. Glad I can still run AOE2:DE in an older version of proton.

Are new versions of Proton could break the compatibility with different games more frequently than new versions of Wine?
