Looks like Total War: Rome II might not be coming to Linux & SteamOS now

Secondly, and the point that actually matters in terms of playing the game: benchmark isn't the whole story. The benchmark scene contains both large forces and zooming in to view the units up close and this isn't a realistic gameplay scenario (as with large armies you don't have time to zoom in). I have GTX760/i5 4670 and with the recommended "quality" (in more common terms I'd suppose it'd be high) settings with AA and army size turned to max, in actual play I've been getting stable ~30fps even with the maximum of 80 units on the field (~10k soldiers), which I think is an acceptable FPS for a game of this type as long as it's stable. That's playable and the game looks good.

I agree I have gtx960 & i5-4590s and it works just fine. the performance of Total War games is generally not that great in FPS terms - windows or other operation systems.

so rather than listen to the moan by Michael on Phoronix about the FPS, Zoom out and Fight!

Hi anyone have a steam controller and managed to set it up with the gyro? and maybe the paddles as brake / accelerator?

edit

found some profiles online but the gyro is really odd, it keeps going left and it is very hard to steer with...

needs some work VALVE!

dgorst some of those are DLC -- extra cars and tracks , there should be no porting (or not much) in those (I think)

Won't count as linux sale though?
Like I said in the article, don't buy before a port is out. Always follow that simple rule.
so daft question: if I buy the game but do not activate (ie hardcopy) until its out does that count as a linux version ?

Quoting: wleoncioNot only it's a survey, it's apparently a non-random sample biased against Linux users (there are many testimonials of people never getting those surveys on their Linux partition but getting them frequently on their Windows one), so those OS percentages are probably underestimating the true percentage.
Yes I was asked at least 20 times on Windows and have only been asked once on Linux (in 3 years)

Total War: ATTILA looks like it's preparing a Linux & SteamOS version
