I'm not much of an FPS or Action Adventure player. But I can see there is a huge demand, a lot of people really looking forward to this.

Cool stuff, it's a AAA coming to Linux, and again thanks to Feral.

That looks really cool. While not preordering and knowing Paradox, I'm pretty sure I will have to pick it at some time.

Valve has boosted their Linux ranks by hiring another developer to work on open source graphics
8 Feb 2018 at 11:29 pm UTC

By the way - locked-down systems could offend other companies (EA, Blizzard) too. But they may run into the trap by Microsoft first allowing other distribution platforms as Origin or the Battle.Net client for free, and then at some point asking cash for reselling and trying to kill off the "other" platforms. The very much reason why Origin exists (they don't want to pay valve for distribution), and the very reason Blizzard does it (they don't want to pay ~30 % to somebody else), which is very likely for huge AAA publishers.

Very good for us, and a lil' "thanks" to Valve that is. And you can really see the increased efforts of AMD and Valve in performance and compatibility.

I have no idea why people keep linking mailing list archives, I find patchwork.freedesktop.org a lot more readable/browsable :D.

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again
24 Jan 2018 at 1:45 pm UTC Likes: 2

Shadow of War for me for sure.
And Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, but my guess is that they'd make it an in house port again as they did last time at taleworlds.

If they want to get it done, they should get Feral on board.

We definitely haven't given up on it at all. In fact, it's a requirement for us because we need to port the engine to other platforms and Linux is a good "clean room" platform.

However, it is a very very time consuming process, especially with so many of us on Star Control right now.
