Harebrained Schemes making 'good progress' on the Linux version of BATTLETECH

Given that the Linux beta on steam was months away it appears really really odd that it will take so long to finish the last bits (at that time I ran into few problems)....
also performance is really poor IMHO, i have a laptop with i7 and gtx1060 and it struggles to get to any decent frame rate unless you turn down effects as described (handles most other things just fine), gpu seems to be stressed 100% all the time....

Quoting: Luke_NukemYes I to my shame have been playing it on Windows.... (actually the one reason I have booted up windows in the last months....Quoting: JmsnzOh cool! \m/.Quoting: Luke_NukemIt’s a metal game... And that’s what you’ll get out of a 560, it’ll be the same on windows.Quoting: melkemindIt's... reasonable. I had to turn anti-aliasing off, and reduce effects details - but you know, running on a MacBook Pro with an RX560, and probably with the last openGL version whatever that was. It's good enough for a game or two.Quoting: Luke_NukemI've been addicted to this for a while now - playing on macOS.How's the performance on macOS?
The game is everything you could hope for, and more.
I fully expect the Linux performance to be kilometers ahead.
But yeah, honestly though, even with a few deets turned off or down, it still looks great and runs fantastic. Super enjoyable game.

now fixed, only use one fix I tried the LD path and the ln -s x86_64 at the same time and that did not work at all
anybody had success on that with Ubuntu 17.10?
thanks

Quoting: Brisse"hmm worked in Hitman but not in Total War Warhammer...."Quoting: AnjuneI found a workaround that works here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/70k7t9/mad_max_wont_run_on_slackwarecurrent_steam/ [External Link]Thanks! Worked for all my currently installed Feral games, including Dirt Rally which I recently bought and haven't played yet so that makes me really excited :)
Basically,cdto the game'slibdirectory and runln -s x86_64 .-- worked with Life is Strange and Shadow of Mordor, haven't tried any others yet.
Edit: Tried on Ubuntu 17.10
Oh, and the last line should be
$ ln -s x86_64/* .
Didn't work without the asterix for me.

Ryan "Icculus" Gordon is looking for new games to port to Linux, pay not required

maybe drifting off topic but what settings did you use to get it running on wine ?

Quoting: themixturemediaI would really love to see him help the guys at Harebrained Schemes to bring the port of Battletech to Linux sooner. I tried to play it with Wine and the graphics are really bad right now. I think he would do a great job helping with the port.

Quoting: Guestworks fine for me. AI turns could be quicker. That's about it.This is the exact issue! Has anyone compared AI turns on Windows and Linux? This where I would hope to get a real improvement - it does seem to think and think....
