Quoting: DeformalWhat version of OpenGL does game have? Old OGL 2.1 or 4.0?

Lots of different versions actually, with the highest being 4.0 yes.

Quoting: BeamboomI'm not even sure if any porting is required for the DLCs when the framework (the game) is properly ported.

Oh man...lots of porting to be done. DLC's can introduce all sorts of issues. That said, you arent too far off. With the framework in place, its not like starting from scratch.

Quoting: GuestI'll be waiting to see if it actually does work with fglrx and/or Mesa drivers. Just personally, I don't like the idea of an nvidia-only "release" (public beta is different, but a full release...no).

I also realise this won't make me popular, and I'm sure I'll cop a lot of flak for it, but something smells wrong to me as well. I know AMD's drivers can be very much improved in certain areas (particularly threading), but I'm not convinced that a native (I assume) port couldn't have worked around much of this. Seeing so much else work just fine with both Intel and AMD, or at least to a decent level (even if performance could be increased), I'm going to lay at least some of the blame on Aspyr. That's my opinion, though naturally I'm sure others disagree.

Basically, I'll be watching this closely before I pay any money.

We dont disagree with you at all. There is ALWAYS more we can do as a native developer, but in this case we are going to need some collaborative help. So we had a choice...wait for that help while we continue to bang our head on the wall or launch now with a great experience on NVIDIA. I dont regret the decision we made.

Quoting: FutureSutureSorry, Aspyr, but I will be passing on this. I simply refuse to buy any of your Linux releases...at such a heavy discount. Once the Game Of The Year Edition of Borderlands 2 is back to full price, and only then, will I purchase a copy for myself and a friend. Such native Linux efforts need to be rewarded and nothing else. Colour me thoroughly uninterested until then.

You sir, are the talk of the office right now ;)
