Quoting: KuduzkehpanI have that %50 discount of dow3 coupons too. New mp mode reminds me classic rts feel. I like it more than moba / capture&hold mode. Still im curious about cross-platform multiplayer availablety.

Unfortunately, it's only cross-platform between Mac & Linux...

Quoting: DevlinHas someone played DoW III? I just received a 50% discount coupon on Steam and I was tempted to buy it but the reviews there are pretty bad.

I finished the campaign, which takes between 16-18 hours for me on Normal level, comparable to Dawn of War II without DLCs.

I love Dawn of War III, most complaints on Steam are simply not justified, and comments go from plain disappointment statement to utter lying about the game features (and non-features). The game mechanics are polished, and the story is nice (but predictable).

However, the real problem with this game is the lack of content for the time being, but I'd bet an expansion is coming our way soon.

In its current state, it's not GOTY but it's pretty good.

I don't see a lot of people playing Dawn of War III. If anyone wants to join a multiplayer game with me, I'd be glad.

It's great to see more japanese games coming over to Linux! Will consider buying it for sure.

- Played recently: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
That game took me quite some time because I focused a lot on side quests (the best part of the game) and all three DLCs. I'm really not disappointed and I consider it to be very close to the quality of the first Deus Ex.

- Now playing: Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War III
I really enjoyed DaW II last year, and despite what many people state on the Web, I think the third installment is really great. The mix between DoW I and DoW II works nicely, unit management is less messy than in Retribution - yet less tactical. It's focused on really different parts of gameplay compared to the first two games, but what it does, it does really well. Each unit fills its own role and positioning on the map is crucial.

When will it run on Fedora without chrooting to a Ubuntu install?

Nothing happens when I opt into Beta, is it normal?

[Edit] Fixed by switching to German servers.

Quoting: scaine

Quoting: omer666There are a lot of good points made in this thread. My own position about this is that there were several justifications for such strong reactions. We must analyse what's gone wrong in context. <SNIP>

Justification for threats of violence? Death threats? Yeah, real classy. I didn't even read past that opening sentence.

I must confess I didn't read the thread thoroughly before posting, which is a shame as I see you getting quite vocal about my comment. I stayed on the positive side of things which is a mistake, and I should have indeed stated that I do not agree in any possible way with such threats.

On another hand many of us reacted in a decent manner and that is the kind of reaction I was referring to.

I would not be silly enough as to call these "background noise", it's a problem indeed, but I tend to think it's a problem with the internet in general. It's sometimes so dehumanised that you get some inhuman behaviours​, and it's not getting any better in recent years.

I just hope you're not thinking I'm a complete douchebag because I didn't take the time to study the whole thing beforehand.

There are a lot of good points made in this thread. My own position about this is that there were several justifications for such strong reactions. We must analyse what's gone wrong in context.

Back when the Witcher 2 was released, people had great hope in Steam Machines, and we all thought such ports would be native. Nobody was expecting a wrapper at that time. They should have advertised this from the beginning.

Then, the product in itself was so badly optimised it was unplayable.

The fact that Wine could run it with twice the performance didn't help in any way.

To finish with, communication from the devs was a disaster. The were no clear answers to our questions, and at first we were left trying to troubleshoot the game ourselves, which took me quite​ some time, along others.

With all these elements taken into account, you can see why there was an escalation.

Now, to the positive side of things:
Both devs and community learned from each other. The community is no longer afraid of wrappers, and several ports from VP have been acclaimed since then. VP went on to contact the community and with all the data and testing customers undertook, I think they learned a lot about their target OS, as well as its audience.

When you spend that time on a project and end up with greater knowledge, it is ridiculous not to take advantage of it. Both the community and VP did, but not CDPR.

PS: oh and I forgot to mention that at the time we didn't have a strong media. GOL is now a reference for Linux gaming that both gamers and devs can rely on. Such problems wouldn't happen that often nowadays because now we have a place to send/get informations. Thank you Liam for what you've done.

Quoting: chui2chSo is it just me or does vulkan SS3 hard lock any one else's PC with the steam over lay on? I have tried the 381 driver, and the 375.66 driver.

No problem running Fedora 25 + SS3 on Vulkan with Steam Overlay.
