Ballistic Overkill updated as promised with Vulkan, but it's now completely broken (UPDATED with temp fix)

Quoting: drvictor666It does work for me with the workarounds from the top of the page. As most other people, I couldn't start the game after the latest update and so I went straight to GOL, hoping to find more info here. Sure as hell I did find it! :) Hopefully, they're gonna fix this soon, the scale of the issue suggests very poor testing routine (for Linux at least).
It's highly possible it's a Unity bug, as Unity Engine dev Tak commented above.

Seems the Linux version of Cossacks 3 is not a myth, as I now have access

Quoting: CSharpIt's currently on -40% sale on Steam. Is it worth picking up like this? Also, if I were to pick it up - does Steam count it as a Windows sale? I'd hate to give the dev's the impression that their Windows version is selling when I just wanna sit on it until Linux is out. Or should I wait for Steam Summer Sale? Or should I pick it up somewhere else altogether?
The usual rule applies to every game: Don't buy it until the Linux version is released.

Quoting: m0nt3Running smooth at 1 FPS? lol. I was actually looking into this last nice. Glad to see something is happening with it.
Quoting: the articleIgnore the FPS counter in that shot, the game pauses on focus loss.

Quoting: TcheyThey should open the beta to all, if they really want feedback and improvement.
It's not as simple as "just open it up". That can swarm and overwhelm developers.

Post updated with more details on the issues the game now has. They made a real mess of it.

Quoting: PlayXThere is a workaround
Open the prefs file in .config/unity3d/Aquaris Game Studio/Ballistic Overkill/
then you have set fullscreen to 0 (now opengl works) and edit you screen size (then vulkan works)
save and play.
But you have to do this every time because after close the game all is gone ( you can set the file to read only ;-) )
Yeah I discovered that myself and added it to the top of the article.

Looks like Rome: Total War might be coming to Linux, according to Feral's port radar

Quoting: liamdaweFeral likely have multiple development teams (I dont know any specifics about their internals fyi), likely working on more than one port at a time. People likely forget this.
How about sweet talking someone over at Feral into doing a proper in-depth interview for the site? You know it makes sense. ;) If anyone from Feral are reading this, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to. ;)
Depends what topics you want covered, we've interviewed them a few times.

See here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/interview-with-feral-interactive-about-their-ports-and-mesa-drivers-steam-keys-offered-for-mesa-developers.9356 (that's a big one too)

Quoting: MetallinatusSo are those people who complain that we are getting one more game in this site a new breed of the troll that goes to our Steam posts just to say "-1" or stuff alike?
You could see it the way Feral should use their time on something I as commenter want to play.
(I don't see it that way, enough to play for now and mid-range future and mainly caring for Feral doing well commercially.)
