Personally I welcome shooters with deep social aspects that make playing with friends and joining friends worth it like this does. Rather than bland shooters with different game-modes.

If it's a Windows game, and you never play it, but it was purchased on another platform, it would default to Windows.

Same with a Windows game purchased on Linux and played in Wine. It will probably be a Windows purchase.

Quoting: n30p1r4t3TW2 issues (even with an Nvidia GPU) could be pertaining to single threaded CPU performance. Liam, don't you have an 8350?

No, i have the top end latest gen intel i5.

From what I remember TW2 beta is currently older than the main branch, i think.

Quoting: liamdaweBad vibrations around eON, where to start? To put it simply it was broken at release for most, and is still terrible for a lot of people.

As for the hype, well who doesn't want to be hyped for another big game to come to Linux?

eon witcher2 works very fine on my nvidia binaryblob system, and probably for almost all other nvidia linux gamers too.

I actually am an nvidia user, as noted in my posts trying out the performance of TW2. It's performance is all over the place no matter your chip.

Quoting: frostworkI neither understand the bad vibrations around eon, nor the hype about this nonsense irc discussion. I was live in the irc channel when this was "discussed" and must say that they would have better spent some time in supporting newbies or hacking some code...

We have removed mentions of the developers IRC nickname. While not his actual name, we don't want a witch-hunt.

Of course this comment is 100% my opinion based on my own experience, so with that in mind...

I am one of the people that find the performance unacceptable. I still can't play TW2 many months after release due to it constantly dropping to low FPS at a low resolution even on medium graphical settings. Even Stronghold 3 Gold which also uses eON couldn't hit a solid high FPS and dropped down quite often, and the game isn't even intensive.

I don't care about the porting technique. I used to until I decided the tech doesn't mater, but performance does. Now that we have first-hand experience with the level of performance expected from ports using eON; I am not expecting much.

I also dislike it when people decide to hide details like who is developing it. Fair enough that it wasn't meant to be known this early, but why continue to hide it? That to me shows a lack of confidence. I always say to developers and publishers they need to be more open, and to a technically minded audience like Linux gamers it matters even more so.

Personally, I wish 2K went with Aspyr who did the Mac version.
