It's worth noting this game had some serious issues with controllers at launch on Windows. If you're having trouble that's actually a bug, you should definitely report it so they can fix it. My Steam controller works fine, but I've yet to try it with my kids' xbox controllers also plugged in.

Quoting: sigzI am really surprised... All this time the developper said he delayed the game release because he wanted to release a perfect completed port, and we get now a beta... the issues are :
- no translations
- no sync with player stats and game settings (all my conf when playing with wine in not sync, while it was in windows)
- performs slower than wine with exact same settings

So it's a beta, but not as clean as they wanted to announce it.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. I think devs who haven't ported an Unreal 3 Engine game to Linux before tend to underestimate just how messed up it is. Since other games have been ported, they probably think it will be relatively easy only to find out that previous ports built upon years of messes going all the way back to Dungeon Defenders. This all could have been avoided if Epic had ever released an official Linux version (like we have with Unreal 4), but they didn't. So, considering all that, it could actually be much much worse.

I played a single exhibition. Performance was good and the steam controller worked well. I started a second match, and it crashed to desktop. I restarted and played a third with the same settings and stadium to see if that was the problem and no crash.

So yes, it's great, but definitely still beta.

It just appeared for me. Still "missing executable" at the moment.

Quoting: Comandante oardoI got this game in the June 2016 Humble Monthly. :)

Good for me that I didn't sold the key.

I've had this in my list of bought games since Christmas, so 9 months later, I could have had a baby in that time if I was a Woman. ;)

Give science a little more time. You might still have that baby if you want one. :)

It never worked as a mouse for me unless it was plugged in. When wireless, it doesn't work at all unless Steam or the open source controller application is running.

Quoting: shigutsoFinally... I wonder what took them so long :(
I backed this game on Kickstarter and I regret it a little after seeing all the bad reviews.
But oh well, no turn back now, let's play and try to enjoy it :P

They actually said what took so long: porting their iteration of Unreal Engine 3. That's probably why Rocket League still hasn't been released. Devs underestimate how much of a mess it is to port because Epic never released an official Linux version.

Quoting: 0aTTI already expected this. Not to publish for Linux and Mac means simply to lose money. It's maybe not a lot of money, but money is money. Such games are very expensive to develop. You want to issue as many copies as possible. Therefore I think big games like Deus Ex are still designed from the outset to be portable.

And yet there still probably won't be a Wii U version. :D Who would've thought Linux would have one up on Nintendo?

Quoting: subJudging but what I've read about the hardware requirements and the inefficient renderer, I guess a Linux port will be overly disappointing - performance wise.
But let's see...

That's why I'm hoping they wait on the DirectX 12 version and port to Vulkan (probably wishful thinking though). You're right. If the game requires 8 GB of RAM and an i3 for minimal performance and an i7 and 16 GB of RAM recommended, it might not run at all on most machines using Feral's "IndirectX" OpenGL translator thingamajig.

Wow, this would be huge.

Also, it makes me wonder if this game will be ported to Vulkan since it appears to be shipping with DirectX 12 support.
