Virtual Programming tease the Overlord Linux port in a new video

Quoting: DamonLinuxPL- The Witcher 2 - after release have many bugs and low performance, after one or two patches it work fine for me even on old notebook with radeon gpu and fglrx driver. Now this game working almost with the same performance as on Windows.
I can not confirm this. I installed it on Windows and Linux, and the Windows version is performing a lot better for me (GTX 760, i7-2600, 3.4ghz). This PC was originally bought when TW2 was released to be able to play it (no joke :D). Upgraded the graphics card since back then (550 to 760).

But true is, it is a lot better and definitely playable now. 2nd patch was the hit for me to call it "playable".

Quoting: Comandante oardoVP is teasing a lot of videos lately in their youtube channel... Chronicles of Riddick included.
Oha. That port would be new (to me). Though, I like Riddick, so I certainly would want that game to release for Linux.

I wish I had not bought it on Windows when it was released. Though, happy to be able to play this wonderful game again. Had a lot of fun with it.

Quoting: melkemindIt looks like combat will be real time with pause [External Link], just like POE.
Which is the coolest thing ever. I think DA:O on Nightmare at the endboss of "The Golems of Amgarrak" playing a arcane warrior/blood mage char was the first time I made use of the feature in any game. Wasn't even necessary on hard levels of PoE, though, never played the hardest there (yet), that's the next task.

GDC Europe survey shows 17% of developers plan to release Linux titles

That is .. more than I expected. I rather thought it will be lower than 10 %.

But maybe that is the rising support by engines. A pretty good amount anyway. It will not solve my issue though (too many games, too few of them played).

Need a beer to watch this relaxed enough and not getting over-excited, but I like the first two minutes.

Getting a beer now :D.

Quoting: dlfWith Witcher 3 getting a GOTY edition I'd assume since it's (witcher 3) is pretty much final code it'd be easier to port to Linux . . . .
Porting is exactly when you find all the bugs, even ones that also affect all other platforms. Because porting is also quality assurance. So no, "final code" is what you'll have after porting. See Neverwinter Nights, they fixed hundreds of bugs in the Windows version they found while porting to Linux
There is nothing like final code. Just code you are not willing to maintain anymore.
