just like many have stated, they'll just have to wait until the contract agreement is up before porting to other platforms, if they deem it worthwhile. if nothing else I hope one of our esteemed Linux porting companies will do the honors later :)

sounds good :) those games mentioned seem to run well, I have rogue legacy and that does seem to work really well.

It has been an awesome year I think for the most part, I guess I missed the C4 fiasco, even though I don't think it was much to miss really. I did chuckle at the self proclaimed "expert". I think he should take a tour of Feral Interactive or Aspyr's studio so he can see what real experts look like.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusion

Quoting: minjLooks like arch is growing :)

It's funny how 5 DEs have an almost identical share

A testament to a healthy, diverse set of interfaces competing with eachother. The same can't be said for the distributions category which appears to be Debian/Arch dominated.

for a long time Debian based distros have been catered to "ease of use" more-so than other distributions. but once you've gotten good experience with Linux some users tend to move to Arch or Gentoo for a more tailored experience and the rolling release is nice as well.
Fedora's only drawback is how it caters to free(dom) software and if you want non-free add-ons such as proprietary drivers you have to use a separate repo, mainly rpmfusion. which is like adding a ppa in Debian/Ubuntu.

Plus there are a lot more Ubuntu based distros than any other distribution. Although there are a number of up and coming distros that use Arch as a base but add their own flare of "ease of use" applications (Manjaro, KaOS and Antergos) or a new base built from the ground up like the Solus Project. Then there is the very easy to use Architect installer for Arch.

In time I think the distributions percentages will move around a lot like the DEs are as these other distributions become more mature.

there seems to be a bug with the traits as well, for kicks I recreated a character with the Lone Wolf trait and supposedly it should remove your companion at that point but It in fact does not. So apparently you can have a protagonist even with one character having the Lone Wolf trait. So if you want 1 really OP character that would be the way to go, haha.

Quoting: BeamboomWorks flawlessly here, so far!

And for those it may matter to: You can create the two protagonists from scratch, including gender. They don't need to be a male and a female, like all screenshots I've seen earlier has indicated .

there's even one trait you can pick that is "lone wolf" that gives you bonus health and stats and allow you to go about the quest solo without a protagonist.

I think it's a bug within Steam, but I'm on the Steam Beta client at the moment because of the firmware updates for the Steam Controller.
I was waiting for it to actually download, it did the same thing bit Dungeon II does, which just downloads a steamid file and then doesn't actually download any data but then it sets itself as if it is installed, and of course does not run at all.
But after about 10 minutes the steam client crashed and then when I restarted the client the game started to download.

I've only waited an extra year a few months since the original release. I backed this on kickstarter when they stated they would have a Mac and Linux client once it was deemed "stable" and released. Although I do appreciate the extra content and to be honest I'd rather play it originally with the extra content. But it sure has taken awhile... I'm a patient person but this was pushing it.

just had a chance to test this out, I already owned the game from a couple of years back. The game loaded up perfectly fine with no issues, I ran the game on Ultra settings. It loaded my old save from 2013 back when I had a windows partition, it took awhile for the game to load the save game. could be due to conversion not sure. initially the game was a little bit sluggish but after 2 or 3 minutes of play it seemed the game was able to create the needed cache to play on and everything ran very smoothly after that. I had sync refresh on to smooth out the gameplay.
I'm not aware of an in-game setting to show FPS or I would have tested that as well. I'm at the point in the game where I have the tech suit and i'm able to run very fast on foot and it ran very smooth for the couple hours I was able to play.

i'm running a gtx 780 ti on a i5-3570K running at 3.8ghz, 16GB DDR3. drivers are the 358.xx series for nvidia, i'm also on Arch with the latest kernel.

edit: after installing and running GLXOSD along with the game I turned vsync off to test overall fps, I was getting 35 to 52 fps during heavy action and ~65 while setting idle.
