What games do you want ported to Linux? Feral Interactive want to know again
12 Aug 2017 at 10:45 am UTC

Quoting: evergreenI meant I watched it first time by my friend's pc, and compared to my ark (on linux) they look to be two different games.
Ah of course, sorry, just me getting the wrong end of the stick, should have known really. :D

Quoting: Whitewolfe80As i said I know its the stereo type as I have previously worked in companies admittedly in the PR department that very much feel this way about linux
It's probably the loud Linux front men like Richard Stallman who give them the impression that everyone using Linux is a beardy D&D obsessed boffin with no lovelife, I was laughing when I typed my previous reply.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Also on the family friendly note it once again goes back to the stereotype of a linux user hardcore geek. So no typically the hardcore geek does not have children or partners in the eyes of corporate business men. So why would they waste money authorising a port when they know people will buy anything that involves guns and blowing random shite up.
That's a good one, it was actually one of my Sons that originally convinced me that Linux was a viable OS.

Dirt4
Ark Survival Evolved (I watched it yesterday by my friend on windows: I thought he was playing abother game...)
Dayz
You do know Ark already has a Linux version? it runs like crap but it exists.

I'd like to see Bioshock 1 & 2, Borderlands 1, Duke Nukem Forever & any Total War game that isn't already ported.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLWitcher 3 and Witcher 1
Witcher 1 Linux does kinda exist... but they didnt want to publish it. Probably because it runs fine on WINE. So it'll have to sit unloved in Git for now ;)
What do you speak of?
Yes please explain, I want to play Witcher 1 without Wine.

Linux & Mac gamers have to wait a bit longer for the Norsca DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER

Is the part of the map that Norsca occupies actually in the base game or is this DLC adding it in? that would explain why it might take more work if it's changing the entire game map.

What have you been playing on Linux lately and what do you think?

Quoting: omer666I 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.
I haven't bought it yet, I will at some point though.

Paradox are now doing their own game client for downloads, cloud saves, statistics and so on

Quoting: MalI use Steam so this thing has not much value for me. I understand though that they'd like to have Steam services also on other (un)platforms they sell on to and I welcomed their company wide infrastructural projects.

The thing is I don't like launchers. It's an additional click away from my game, launchers go against every modern rule of usability and user friendliness. I can't really understand why game houses are so stubborn with them. Old management I guess. I doubt a millenial would come out with such an idea. Anyway Paradox already uses launchers for each one of their games so I guess in the end having a unified one instead of many will not change anything compared to now.

So in the end I'm just disappointed that they didn't used this chance to get rid of launchers entirely.
I don't mind launchers if they're done well, the Feral launcher is one that does it's job well (at least for me).

MXGP3 - Motocross is coming to Linux from Virtual Programming, plus something strange happened

Quoting: t3gIt would be nice if this was upgraded to the newer UE4 so we can get native Vulkan support instead of the typical eON wrapper like in previous ports.
I've got several of their ported games & although I was dubious about the eON wrapper syytem it's proven to be pretty solid in performance so far even without Vulkan.

Quoting: BdMdesigNYou can use it but you don't must, like Oeigiun or Uplay. So where is your problem?
I don't know if I'm misreading your comment but with games on uplay, if you buy them through steam you have no choice but to have Steam & Uplay running at the same time to play the games, bloody silly nonsense if you ask me.
