Quoting: g000h
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoTwo possibilities:
*The webmaster of Humblebundle made a huge mistake about Rise of the Tomb Raider.
*Feral is lying in their Feral Radar UFO thing and the game indeed is really close to be released.
My feeling is more along the lines of this: Square Enix are trying to squeeze out as many "Windows" Sales as they can (including to the Linux community) before the official "Linux" offering goes out.
If that's the case then that sucks. Hopefully it's not. One way to deal with this would be to just give the dev no money on humble. It sucks for Feral but who knows if they'd see anything from it anyway and the point of humble is charity not the devs.

EDIT: For the love of God I need to stop opening my mouth before looking stuff up. You're talking about sales on the store not a bundle. Don't mind me. I do find it funny how I did this twice on one post.

So far this game is great. There's still some issues with text rendering but for the most part it's fine. It's also not unity which made me warm and fuzzy inside.

Quoting: GuestAFAIK, Before the Storm was built on Unity. Is this a fully native version built with Unity, or does it use Feral's wrapper?
Life is strange is UE3 Not unity.

EDIT: I take that back XD. There's no delete comment but yeah...you're right. The original is UE3 not before the storm.

Quoting: ScooptaYeah and some of the bugs I've seen make me think studio wildcard is just a front for Bethesda XDXD. Oh well. That's just ark. It would be nice if they fixed some stuff instead of adding more content. I like the content but some of the bugs make the game rather frustrating to play at times.
Don't get me wrong, when it works it's a great game & I can lose hours on it, but there are times when it's an adventure all of it's own just getting it to start, it's like they're putting updates out as puzzles with one piece at random that breaks everything & they're not telling us which one it is.

It's a great game, but it could be so much better if they stopped using the Bethesda method.
I've only ever had one update break the game but yeah...the bugs are not fun.

Quoting: evergreenok, I don’t like games like this, but I bought it to support feral and to test vulkan. yahoooooo!!!

ps. any hope feral can put hands on Ark survival evolved?
Why would they need to? The game already runs on Linux and is arguably more native then their ports. It isn't very well optimized and has some bugs but that's just ark on all platforms
The word Optimize seems to be unknown to the Ark developers.

I know it is OT, but I have to short answer: if you compare it to windows, you think you are playing on unreal engine 1 on linux and unreal engine 3 on windows. bugs are present on windows too, but the graphic is since 1 year like another game 10 years newer.
I mean it's graphics are nice on Linux. They may or may not be better on Windows seeing as I've never played it on Windows but the graphics are good enough. Graphics don't make or break a game for me and it's not like they're bad in the first place.

Quoting: ScooptaI'm hoping vulkan will mean an end to their "we only officially support nVidia cards" stance that they've had on some of their titles because I WANT THIS GAME. XD
I know that it has not been always the case but all games ported by Feral work on AMD now, no? (with recent versions of MESA and despite what some of the Steam requirements indicate) The problem wasn't really Vulkan (or OpenGL version) but more on the availability of drivers (from AMD or Open Source) versions supporting it (or OpenGL > 3) in most distributions (and SteamOS mainly). Feral contribute to MESA development since some time now... :S:
The problem was AMDs terrible OpenGL drivers. I tried shadow of Mordor on the latest AMD drivers prior to switching to mesa. They supported OpenGL 4.5. Did the game run? Nope. However on the latest version of mesa it currently does but it was definitely the OpenGL driver being broken. Something I'm hoping their vulkan drivers don't suffer from. That being said mesa is generally just better.
