Quoting: bubexeli missed it ... sniff

Me too. I suppose most of North America was still sleeping then.

Quoting: M@yeulCThere are some theories that proclaim that our universe works that way, with these constants, because it makes life more likely, thus more likely for us to be sitting into it.

Since that's just assuming life to be a desirable result of the creation of the universe without any tangible theory of why this would be so, that's a fairly unscientific view of things. But I guess people still need to think that they are so special that the entire universe was made just for us, even if there is not the slightest sliver of evidence to support that.

On topic, the game looks nice. Still, I somehow wish at least for the time being, Aspyr would focus on bringing more AAA titles to Linux. We need these more desperately if we ever hope to lure a larger number of Windows gamers over. Indie games we're well sorted for.

Back in the days I liked Transgaming's approach of letting users vote on which games they should work to make them work in WINE/Cegega. Sometimes I feel something like this would help. There are games (such as this one) that the Linux community is clearly longing for, but often enough when I see which games they were actually working on, it's games I don't believe are all that high up on people's wishlists.

Huh? Since when do new Paradox titles not come to Linux? They ported all their recent stuff, no? oO

I rarely look at performance numbers and benchmarks, as I am happy when game runs with enough FPS for me to be able to play it. I would however be curious if there are OTHER components holding back Linux performance other than OpenGL. In other words, if a game uses Vulkan on both Windows and Linux, would it perform exactly the same on both Linux and Windows? Or would Linux still be worse?

Personally I am getting a tad jaded of the WWII setting (how often did we kick Hitler's behind in video games again?), but it -does- look like it's going to be a good game.

Yay! THAT's the sort of stuff I am looking for in a CS DLC!

Only downside is that they will break a random number of my asset mods again, so I get to spend half day of trial and error finding the broken ones. They seem to love to do that with each and every new DLC.

Quoting: Mountain ManWhere did you hear that Aspyr is moving away from Linux?

I thought them barely doing any Linux ports anymore would be a hint?

Aspyr is gradually moving away from Linux and has been for a while now. That doesn't mean it's all doom and gloom. Firaxis seems to be fairly committed to Linux (they had all their recent games ported to it, IIRC). If Aspyr doesn't want to port for Linux anymore, they will find someone else to do it for them. Or -gosh- really do it in-house. The next Civ title is probably 3-4 years away, maybe by then multi-platform publishing is the new normal, who knows!
