Quoting: RedfaceHas anyone got multiplatform multiplayer to work? The developers said they would investigate here but no news for the last few days: https://steamcommunity.com/app/373930/discussions/0/1471967615873254582/ [External Link]

I've been told the developers are aware and they are working on fixing it ASAP.

Quoting: rea987Can please someone point the game's advantages over OpenRA? It has disastrously bad thumb picture but some in-game screenshots look okay.

Well, OpenRA is limited to what the original games had for the most part. That's a pretty heavy limitation, so they can update a few elements, but they're generally locked into the gameplay. Also, you're just using "free" content of a classic game, technically EA could shut down their downloads for the content at any time if they really wanted to.

Rusted Warfare is a new game, it's constantly updated and has a lot of features I've come to expect like proper zoom control. Bigger scale battles like Tchey stated too, you could have way more units in play than in something like OpenRA.

You can upgrade almost everything to different tech levels as well, which keeps things interesting.

The massive experimental units are awesome as well, expensive, but really damn powerful.

Quoting: Mountain ManEven 5-years ago, I honestly never thought we'd see this day and was prepared to content myself with dual-booting and the occasional indie release for Linux.

But even as successful as Linux gaming has been, I'm still somewhat concerned about our minuscule presence and a little afraid, perhaps irrationally, that it could all just suddenly go away.

Yeah, I never imagined we would get some of the titles we have now!

I fear the same, but that's part of why I'm here. I will do what I can to help spread the word :)

Quoting: Tchey

Quoting: liamdaweWhat will you be doing with the MOD?

What do you mean ?

It's just some new units to play with in Rusted Warfare. You can DL it on Discord already from the link i posted. So far i've done 26 units/buildings, and you should read the Zum_ReadMe.txt to see general overview of this "faction", as i'm trying to make it "unique".

That's exactly what I meant, just wanted to know what you were doing :)

Sounds interesting, might have to take a look!

Quoting: TcheyI'm hooked to Rusted Warfare, and i'm making a mod for it started about 2-3 weeks ago, the Zum, you can find more on the official Discord : https://discordapp.com/channels/330141901279985665/337318937865748480 [External Link]

Quoting: MikeHergaardenHi,

Developer of Verdun here. We use the latest version of Unity (2017.1.0p3) and this issue is still present there. Unity confirmed that this is now fixed and the fix is scheduled to land for 2017.1.0p4, I -think- this Unity patch will launch end this week.
For now please use the workaround listed above, rest assured that a fix will be available soon.

Mike

Thanks for letting us know, Unity told us previously the issue was already fixed. Good to know they're still on it!

Yes, Samsai plays it on his AMD card as do a few others.

Quoting: jens

Quoting: liamdaweI imagine most Mac gamers used Windows for years before getting a Mac too.

I would say there are in relative numbers less Mac users with a Windows past (or present) than Linux users, surely in absolute numbers. But we can agree to disagree here ;)

Unless either of us have anything to back it up it's speculation on both of our parts, not worth debating to be honest ;)

Quoting: jensThis combined with the general situation of more support costs on Linux due to much higher hardware and software fragmentation would be my reasoning for not bringing Bioshock Remastered to Linux. But this is just speculation from me. Would be nice if we would at some point hear Feral's actual reason for this business decision.

That will always be an issue of course and another not worth debating, mainly as that point is an obvious point :). Still, most developers generally target SteamOS and/or Ubuntu to get around that. Feral in this case, go by that too usually.

Quoting: jensMac is I guess differently due to much higher volume in absolute numbers and because most (or lesser) Mac users don't have a dual boot past.

I disagree. You know of Boot Camp right?

I imagine most Mac gamers used Windows for years before getting a Mac too.

Quoting: liamdawe@Duke: Don't really get where you seem to think pointing out things are complaints, but okay. The article even ended on a positive note.

Sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything ;). And you are right, the article did end on a positive note.

However I can't really understand the necessity of the article for us linux gamers. The title says explicitly that the game will be on mac first, but why would a linux gamer care, as long as the game gets ported to linux eventually? What would be of interest however, is to know if said game was delayed, which we couldn't possibly know because no one knows the time schedule of feral. Why were linux and mac versions separated on the radar? Maybe they've got problems with the linux version,maybe they were faster with the mac version than expected, we can only speculate.

No offense taken at all. We often speculate on a lot of things here, it's nothing new. A lot of people generally want to know and keep up to date on what Feral are doing, myself included.

Also, knowing we are getting a release later is also important to know. Day 1 releases are important for Linux as a gaming platform. Delayed releases end up getting less enthusiasm in general. Especially if it's a multiplayer title, we don't want to end up getting a game when the hype has vanished and there's no one left online. Hopefully not the case here.

Quoting: liamdaweYou can hardly compare this article to what happened with The Witcher 2, come on now. I'm mostly stating basic facts, which gave me an opportunity to reshare the teaser.

Sorry again, I didn't mean to say that either. In no way is this article comparable with what happened with witcher 2, of course. I was merely trying to break a lance for supporting devs who keep bringing great games to our platform.

And support Feral we generally do :). I think you've taken the article in too negatively.

Quoting: Duke Takeshi

Quoting: liamdaweThe fact is though, I want Bioshock Remastered on Linux and I will repeatedly make it known :)

Me too! Who knows maybe, if the recent feral questionnaire turns out to show enough interest in the game, we'll get a linux port eventually. ;)

Well the more people request it, hopefully the better our chances.
