Quoting: Segata SanshiroHow would you say the transition is from something like EU4 or Civ to the total war series? Looking to broaden my horizons :D

I've only played Empire: Total War, but it's basically two games in one. There's the turn-based world map where you manage your empire, then there's the battles which play out in real-time and have you commanding an army of hundreds of soldiers, but they're split up into smaller battalions that you control as a group to make it manageable.

The turn-based portion of the game is fun but nowhere near as in-depth as EU4 or Civ5, but the real-time battles are awesome, and you have to pay close attention to types of troops, positioning, battle stances, and so on. No other game really offers anything comparable.

Quoting: WorMzySorely tempted to preorder this.

Don't do it. Wait until there's an actual Linux version for sale.

A KDE developer, huh? You know how I recently boosted performance on my gaming machine? I got rid of KDE and replaced it with Xfce.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroI had the problem where I'd "open" the doors of certain cupboards, and only the handles would move instead of the doors.

I encountered this last night. It took me a moment to realize what had happened.

Quoting: darkszluf

It shouldn't be too much of a trouble

i've got a bad feeling about this.

It either means, "We developed for cross-platform from the start," or "We have no idea what we're doing."

Quoting: Mountain ManI hope the Cities: Skylines developers are paying attention. We might finally get good performance in Linux.

What's wrong with its performance? For me (Radeon R9 270X with open source drivers) it's running very well. I'm not at maximum settings, as I had to decrease shadow quality to medium, but I'd say that's more than close enough.

It falls far behind the Windows version in terms of performance and tends to hover around 20-something frames per second even on hardware that exceeds the recommended requirements. It's playable, but it really should run better. There are a number of threads on the official forums discussing the problem. Here's one of the more popular ones:

I'm not sure Cities: Skyline uses Unity.

It does.

Quoting: GuestHopefully "Video Filter Customizations" includes the ability to disable the blur and chromatic aberations!

Besides that, new parkour moves sounds cool, but I wish the list included "Linux performance improvements" and "green flashes during loading fixed".

Not very glad about the improved AI as the game was hard enough for me, but I’ll see…

Motion blur can be disabled in the settings menu. And I'm not seeing any green flashes during loading.

However, additional performance improvements in Linux would be nice.

Quoting: MGOidBugs, bugs everywhere... I bought this in the Black Friday, the game show me a message saying it needs OpenGL 3.3, when I have 4.1 in the free drivers... It keeps crashing no matter what I do to convince it that my hardware meets the requirement...

Sounds like a problem with your drivers. I'm running a 760GTX and Nvidia's official drivers, and the game runs great for me. Very smooth and responsive, and it plays great with a Steam Controller.
