The problem seems to exist quite some time now. Rather disappointing NVidia didn't tackle that than them not releasing. I understand they do want to release on Linux in full glory too instead of reducing graphics quality because NVidia didn't care.

Quoting: MayeulCI just realized why I didn't have SS:Fusion. I have SS:TFE on CD and never bought it in Steam. I'll go for it, just because I like Croteam XD.

Just as a headsup, not necessarily for this particular game, but some publishers make their games available trough Steam if you enter your CD key.

Personal anecdote:

Spoiler, click me

That was actually some of my first games on Steam: As a teenager short on money, I bought a used half-life 1 CD box for 1€ on the net, entered the CD key a couple years later in Steam, and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had unlocked the whole goldsrc games collection (blueshift, CS, opposing force, ricochet, half-life,...).
A good investment :D

Yeah, for that I'd need to find the original box (only found the CD without key). The cash could be spent worse... I guess.

Quoting: oldrocker99I saw that Liam was playing Cossacks 3 and bought it on the spot. Windows only, it appears at least for now.:'(.

Keep refreshing buddy ;-).

Nah, I'm sure Liam will tell us when they finally release :D.

You really need a AMD card to test too.

But for the benchmark - great work by Croteam. But we're used to that our Croatian friends are just ... awesome.

For Croteam not publishing on GoG anymore - would be an interesting question to forward to them.

I still need a newer radv to be able to try :-(. I really need to compile mesa myself as it seems.

I even still got the Serious Sam Jacket (with the bomb on the back) which they gave me when we were organizing a lan party for 450 players featuring SS:TFE as a game to be played (though, network code was terrible back then and it was really hard to maintain the servers).

Just 16? Ohh :-(. I have 4, the upgrade is almost not worth it XD.

Quoting: Geppeto35Ooh nooo! Again a Total War! Stop that Feral :P :whistle:

Cossacks looks to be a lot more in line with Empire Earth or 0 A.D.

Depends on, if you actually do get to the menu you don't have a lot of issues ;-)

If you have an issue with the mouse (not moving / moving horrendibly slow):
https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/wine-patches/tree/master/custom/rawinput2 [External Link]
that one helps ;-). I think POL actually provides a wine version with rawinput2 patch in the repos which you could try.
It's an issue with mouse acceleration being wrong implemented in EE1. I've done this with xinput commands setting mouse acceleration profiles too at some time, but the rawinput2 patch seems to work properly.
Didn't try in the past year though.

Actually, for me is setting:
-screen-fullscreen 0

enough to get it running properly. Don't need to set a resolution. Interestingly: I only have one screen XD.

Quoting: CSharpIt's currently on -40% sale on Steam. Is it worth picking up like this? Also, if I were to pick it up - does Steam count it as a Windows sale? I'd hate to give the dev's the impression that their Windows version is selling when I just wanna sit on it until Linux is out. Or should I wait for Steam Summer Sale? Or should I pick it up somewhere else altogether?

Currently when you pick it it very likely would be counted a windows sale. I doubt the developer would mind, since it's a in-house port (money is theirs afterall), but if you care for the statistics you'd have to wait.

Seems a lot of people can, and a lot can't run it at the moment.
Darrn, I have time this evening and wanted to give it a try on my RX460 and GTX1050 graphics cards to see...

Fingers crossed I'm among the lucky ones. For the sniper bug - I usually play sniper, and since I'm bad at FPS games, it's a good thing they decided to help me :D.

If they can not give support to customers in Linux, I think it's very fair telling the potential customers that they can't expect support for the game on their platform if they buy it.

And they spoke frankly, and didn't hide behind bullshit. That's a sound and good reason to do what they did, and I respect that.
