I will definitely buy this as soon as I can. And any future additions to the series as well.

Quoting: monsieursauce

Quoting: LeopardDid you know that Bethesda already ported it for Nintendo Switch,which use Vulkan?

Does it mean the Switch can be an incentive to develop Linux ports?

The Switch is an incentive to use Vulkan. Vulkan might not be an incentive to develop for Linux, but surely it lowers the bar.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80No the way porting works is Square pay Feral a fee to port the game sometimes it can tie the amount to the profits from the Linux version.

Porters have different business models. Feral actually publish every port they do, so it's not quite as simple as a bit of contract work. We have no idea how these deals are negotiated and what kind of financial agreements they make. Why would we even care, as long as they keep porting great games to Linux?

I love all the helmet designs in these drawings. I think Mordrag's is just super hilarious. :)

The thing is, I've been to a couple of armoury museums and some of the actual designs were almost as funny. I can't find my own old photos from our visit to the Palace Armoury in Valletta, Malta right now, but I do remember having a chuckle at these [External Link].

Thanks. Seems like my experience should be a bit smoother should I ever decide to slog through the rest of the game. The minimum and average numbers are indeed the ones that matter.

Let's hope this results in performance improvements across the board. The port is great, but not perfect.

Tiny niggle: Only the first letter in Xfce is capitalized. It's not an actual acronym since the project dumped XForms in favour of GTK+ in the nineties.

Quoting: CreakMaybe Feral didn't update A:I, maybe A:I are using such technology that makes it difficult to have 5.1 in Linux (but I admit, that the former is more plausible, I'm afraid).

Some comments on the subject from Feral's edddeduck here.
