Killing Floor 2 for Linux is 'indefinitely on hold' as they can't find a developer
20 Jan 2018 at 12:41 am UTC

Quoting: johndoe
Quoting: kalinDo you ever use opengl? OpenGL was and still is abomination. There is a reason for people to prefer direc3d. Why opengl is so fucked up is another topic. Currently I learn vulkan and don't have opinion on it for now.
Please be informed and don't trow statements just like that. Negativism never help. The studio is free to do what ever they want to do with their products. Stop blame them for not porting game that you probably never buy anyway.
OK... now tell me the reason why Id Software always prefers OpenGL?

You can't expect all the people to behave the same way also you can't expect devs to make the same choices.

Killing Floor 2 for Linux is 'indefinitely on hold' as they can't find a developer

Quoting: johndoeChanging/Modifing the source code of an application is always a bad idea.
An engine is not different - it's still a piece of software.

Some years ago I have worked for a big selling platform in germany and the heads of it decided to change the source code of MySQL 4.x and failed lousy when MySQL 5.0 arrived. The many changes could not be ported to MySQL 5.x anymore.
Today this company is owned by others - what a surprise;)

I think the guy (project leader) responsible for the decision to make changes to the rendering engine was forced by the publisher to that.
I'm sure he showed a way to do things right but the publisher decided to go the cheaper and faster way.

OpenGL (before Vulkan) is much better/stronger than DiretcX when you know how to use it. Think of Id Software.
But OpenGL is more complex. You need a lot of experience to do the right thing.
OpenGL has many ways to do the same thing but not all lead to best performance.
Id Software has this experience - most developers nowadays do not.

Vulkan WILL change this. But this takes time.

Do you ever use opengl? OpenGL was and still is abomination. There is a reason for people to prefer direc3d. Why opengl is so fucked up is another topic. Currently I learn vulkan and don't have opinion on it for now.

Quoting: Faattori"During Killing Floor 2's development a choice was made to rewrite the DirectX rendering system. "

Well, the fault is completely on them for making the bad decisions.

Why do you think it's fault. I'm sure they have their reasons. No one just make decisions especially people who successfully run a business.

Quoting: ZlopezWhy not using Flatpak instead of snap?
Quoting: lucifertdarkWhy not use it as it was intended by Valve & stop messing about with Snap & Flatpack?
Why not stop asking stupid questions. It's matter of choice. If you don't like it, just don't use it. Simple as that
That is a bit harsh. People are trying to understand the motivations behind the project. That should be encouraged.
No. Linux people are awful. Someone decide to make something useful or just hobby project and share it with the community and what he take in return is finger pointing, blaming and complaining. I participate in this community from 5 years and I read only negative opinions in forums. Luckily developers are not so easily discouraged .
I wouldn't go that far. We have to keep in mind that to question something, isn't necessarily a negative thing. We also have to remember the language barrier, English isn't everyone's first (or even remotely good) language, so people often phrase it in what looks like a rather blunt and direct way.

Ok I give my apologies for making quick conclusions
