Kalypso Media announces Sudden Strike 4 strategy game, with Linux support

I played Sudden strike 2 ages ago and I loved it!

But what bothers me:
The graphics "recommendation" is ridiculous, sometimes one could think that advancement in the technology of graphic cards is just that new games can be less optimized...

Awesome looking games come out every year, now it feels quite strange that similar good looking games from now and from two/three years ago have a huge difference in the hardware "recommendation".

Oh, well, your GTX 960 is now just a mid(/low end) tier piece from ages ago, you can set your settings to "medium" if you experience performance issues, well maybe lower the resolution a bit too...
Yeah that's what I want... -.-

I would like to play it but I don't buy censored games, which would not be a problem if it would not have a shitty geolock...

Why didn't they do it like Dead Island or Dying Light? I just buy my international key somewhere else and can play the game legally like other people all over the world...

Well sucks to live in germany...

Tweaking Performance in XCOM 2
9 Feb 2016 at 8:23 pm UTC

I'll have another hint, if you don't mind to often change graphics settings:
If you are in your base you can actually get Diashow-Com to an acceptable behavior if you set the shadows to "Directional Only", other settings like Texture Detail and Filtering have way less impact.
At least in my case it helps out a lot, it's just a bit annoying to turn the shadows back on on a mission and restart the game to remove stuttering...

Does Dying Light's Linux to Linux multiplayer fail for you? Please confirm it here

We tried, still broken!

Screen from new map pops up and immediate disconnect, one can see the other players join and disconnecting in the log.

Edit:
A windows player once joined my online game and we played for about an hour.

XCOM 2 released for SteamOS & Linux, port report included
5 Feb 2016 at 9:50 pm UTC

I preordered XCOM 2 and just bought the steam controller 40% reduced, you don't need to buy the bundle if you already have XCOM 2!
Your chance, it compensates for the ridiculous shipping costs!
