Additionally, isn't ATTILA performance on Windows pretty abysmal anyway? It's not saying much when you can run as fast as the slowest fat guy on the track.

Quoting: AnxiousInfusionI just shot them an email regarding a Linux version now that it's on another storefront. Will try to update if they reply.

Hello,
We continue to expand our Linux catalog and we do our best to add Linux-supported games to our offer as often as possible.
Many of our premiere indie titles offer native Linux versions already and we're constantly working on adding Linux compatibility to our back-catalog games as well. It's hard to tell when--or if--a specific game will undergo that treatment, as it requires not only technical work, but also licensing agreements. We hope, however, that you'll find our existing Linux catalog already quite impressive.
Regards,

I don't know what I was expecting.

Quoting: ricki42Still, I do hope GOG will get the Linux version at some point.

Quoting: throghI don't get it: What is so special about that? It is possible to buy the whole game on GOG.com [External Link] and install a package with PlayOnLinux. Works like a charm with no further problems! Why using therefore two DRM-methods because even Steam points out that there is a third party access needed? The version on GOG has no further restrictions especially when it comes to the singleplayer.

The point is to make it available to the people who don't want to or don't know how to mess around with PlayOnLinux or WINE. Like with GOG.com's Flatout games, the buyer downloads, installs and runs the game just like with any native title.

EDIT: Also, don't forget SteamOS buyers will expect such a game to work without having to leave Big Picture to install/configure 3rd party translation layers.

This is exactly where pre-packaged WINE wrapped games are acceptable for Linux. To bring older titles which PCs today have more than ample performance for anyway. I hope to see this happen with more decade+ old games so long as the end result is indistinguishable from a native release for most people.

So much Vulkan news today, this is great!

Quoting: tuxintuxedoAMD only has something alpha/beta like for Windows. The latter for Linux is still not in a good shape and will require the new amdgpu driver (GCN 1.2 and newer) when it arrives, after the Windows release.

I specifically decided to get a GCN 1.2 based card because of everything related to open source AMD driver support and Vulkan. Hopefully, the entire Polaris lineup will fully support all so that nobody has to play the game of guess-your-compatibility.

Same. I gave up on my city months ago when I encountered an unfixable garbage situation. Maybe I'll give it another shot but with much better preplanning this time.

Quoting: rkfgI suppose not only it still has bad performance but also bad visuals. IIRC, the engine supports OGL 4.5 but they for some reason only support 3.x on Mac/Linux. And the "True Sky" plugin isn't supported on those platforms completely.

Isn't Mac perpetually stuck on old OpenGL implementations? Maybe it is more cost effective to support the weakest link in the chain.
