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.

Tried it some time ago looking for another MMO. I think the MMO genre has a identity problem because all are doing more-of-what-already exists.

SotA is actually a bit of an old-school-breeze, but it's a lot flawed too. Could still get cool, it's not even in beta yet, and actually I don't know if it's my personal feeling but with Mesa 7.1 the loading times reduced (maybe the shader caches?).

I actually experience that I wait way longer on my GTX1050 than on my RX460.

Though, I still stick with Zezenia for now (pure-grind-and-level). Ye, I know, really old school :D. I'd love some MMO with [real] crafting for Linux, and since I didn't like Albion (which could be fitting, but I'd need a party protecting me while I get materials), I still hope that SotA will get the curve.

For crafting, SotA looks pretty okay. Getting / buying materials to support your gathering is actually pretty okay on the player market if you sell your end products well (I didn't go into mining). The death system is pretty punishing at the moment though.

I want this. Rather sooner than later. Glad it will be coming to Linux (it's paradox afterall, and they have a history of succeeding with their ports).

That is a game I could really love.

The only news you have to do on a weekend is if Blizzard releases a native WoW linux client on a weekend.
Aka the new "when pigs can fly".

Bought it a long time ago. Contrary to the reviews, I found it entertaining.

Good he realized he needed a break before burning out. Certainly hope this one will see a release one day, it looks very promising.
