Already pre-ordered yesterday :)
And yes, before someone jumps to explain the whole "don't do it before etc", this time I'm willing to take the risk.

Quoting: DrMcCoyWell, there's this review on Rock, Paper, Shotgun [External Link], and that looks like it is quite bad...

About the porting: are they actually porting it themselves now? The earlier X games were ported by outside contractors and Egoraptor let those ports rot afterwards. I always hated them for that.

Is rather an old review though, made when the game was released. From what I gather the game changed a lot since the release.

The forum post that Liam linked is a very interesting read about their current thoughts about Linux/OpenGL.

Wow, in order for those reviews to be negative, the gameplay must be really really bad or buggy, because the graphics are just fantastic.

And that's why Linux community is perceived badly, we're starting to behave like a pack of wolves in here and on Phoronix, "because we're right".
So much for the nice people on GamingOnLinux.

Thank you for making me aware of this. I have a Blue WD (default timer disabled) but is something good to know.

Voting for it is not a problem, funding OTOH....
Generally we wait until wee see the Linux version in hand, we've been burned so many times.

It does look promising though, if you could upload a Linux demo somewhere it would be great.

I don't know if you guys just put up brave faces or really don't care, but this news really depressed me.

I kinda expect to see Linux support growing, not getting smaller.
It's not a big blow I know, but a blow nevertheless at least for Linux perception in general. Another good occasion for trolls to start ranting about Linux being so crappy that developers start ditching it etc.
Not so good publicity.

Quoting: TakFortunately, problems like the one you mentioned above are getting fixed as they get reported - the mouse look problems have been resolved, vsync (which was initially disabled on some WMs to work around a bug in Compiz/Unity DE) has been reënabled on all WMs, etc.
Additionally, Unity 5 takes a more SDL-like approach to gamepad support (see Fight the Dragon), meaning that things should be more likely to Just Work, and it should be easier for users to override them if they don't.

If they're fixed in the engine it doesn't reflect in the Unity games I have.
I still see the mouse look bug (more recently in Interstellar Marines were was previously working), I still can't enable vsync and the gamepad is working correctly in very, very few games.
