If it's using Unreal Engine > 3, porting (actually exporting) should be rather straightforward, shouldn't it?
Unless they're not using crappy middle ware, ofc.

Quoting: HamishWhile it obviously sucks for those who are suffering from this, I must admit to getting a certain amount of schadenfreude from this. Maybe even a little vindication. ;)

Wow, I wasn't aware that the German word schadenfreude is also common in the US. :)

Fantastic artwork! :)

I'll have to remember that one.

Thanks for sharing the link.

It has been sad to see all the hate and bashing here in GOL and linux_gaming reddit. Fortunately Linux players' tone in Larian forums has been much more positive.

Yeah, it's really great for companies like Larian if people are more positive.
Makes getting away with cheating way easier.

Also, probably you're confusing "hate" and "bashing" with being upset.

I'd say it was kind of a "second chance" to make the Linux version a "day-1" release with this "Enhance Edition".

By stating Linux support in the Kickstarter campaign, common sense would suggest that this is one of the top priorities for Larian, no matter what the economical side and legal situation tells you. Otherwise you're just a bunch of a**holes.

Maybe that will turn out to be a high profile Kickstarter Linux-SCAM.
I'm glad we have Pillars of Eternity. A fantastic game in the same vein.

P.S.

"... and will be a free addition to anyone who knows the original on PC."

--> "owns"?

This game is a real gem!

If you like challenging puzzles - go get it! :)

Quoting: GuestI hope they’ll start working on a campaign / challenges soon.

The promise of a campaign was my motivation to buy the game early.
I don't play sandbox games at all.
Please don't f*ck it up! Darwinia campaign was nice. :)

Quoting: fraghopperI understand that Linux (and Mac, for that matter) users have the burden of proving that we will buy games and make it worth while for devs to port games to our platform. But if you do a kickstarter and you say you'll port something to Linux and people give you money predicated on that fact..... then that's what you do.

Hell, yes. Exactly this.
I don't know what's left to discuss.

In particular, I don't get how many here suggest that the promised and still lacking Linux version is something we should be less upset about than other things - because, you know, it's Linux and it's giving developers a hard time and we should be grateful that it's still on their list after all. WTF! :S:

In-house Linux versions are great but here is something fishy obviously.
Having two developers working on the Linux target and not getting
something to ship in this long time shows that they are either lacking the
required skills (sorry) or that there are serious technical issues with the engine.

I bet Icculus alone would have ported that thing already (or it is practically not portable).
