Feral Interactive are teasing a brand new native Linux port
25 Aug 2018 at 12:27 am UTC Likes: 1

My guess is Valkyria Chronicles 4!!!

It will be released a the end of September, Sega has a couple of native Linux games and Valkyria Chronicles has been updated on my PC for no reason today (installed with Proton).

So I bet on Valkyria Chronicles 4 (and I hope an updated native Valkyria Chronicles or official Proton Valkyria Chronicles, since it already works with Proton, except for a couple of crashes).

At What type of device do you primerily use for Linux gaming?, I answered Other, but since there is no input box to add some informations, here it is:

I stream my games from my desktop PC to my laptop while I'm on my sofa (with Steam streaming). So, not sure if it counts as Desktop, Laptop or Sofa PC...

I would make a good hunter because I already live at night since may 18, feeding my newborn boy when he wakes up.

Terraria Now In Open Mac And Linux Beta

The game is very slow on an Intel HD 4400, running at 1080p. It may be optimized, as the first release of Starbound was also very slow, but now running smoothly.

Quoting: mrdeathjr
Quoting: mboucharPlayed a long time ago when Steam didn't exist, so I just bought it.

I played for about 2 hours. I experienced a lot of crashes in the prologue, I think when using the menu. There are also missing textures sometimes when switching levels (everything is black except for the character models). I have to alt-tab out of the game and back in to restore the textures.

I really enjoy the widescreen resolution. I tried KOTOR 1 recently, and I can't play with that 4:3 resolution...
Strange in my case works, stay played all prologue and works without crash

Quoting: mboucharI still have the texture bug when loading a new level, but it is easily fixed.
An example of entering a new area:

After alt-tabbing out and in game:

Also, the star count in the background seems a little big high, but I don't remember if it was the same background in Windows.

I experienced more crashes while playing, so I looked at the console log to find if something was wrong with my setup and found that I had the following bug :
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84372 [External Link]

I had already updated my Kubuntu 15.04 install with Mesa 10.6 to fix a bug while playing Valkyria Chronicles through Wine, so I updated my kernel to 4.1.3 and the intel driver to 2.99.917. Now, the crashes are fixed (I replayed the prologue successfully).

I still have the texture bug when loading a new level, but it is easily fixed.

Quoting: linuxgamerBought! Never played it, played Jedi Academy instead.
The Jedi Knight series popped my cherry when it came to triple A PC gaming, Jedi Outcast was the first PC game I ever owned. But I think KOTOR 1 was better, as for KOTOR 2, I don't know why but I just never make it that far into KOTOR 2 before I get bored and shut it off and then don't start it again ever until maybe months or years later. I mean last time I didn't even finish the prologue.

Wouldn't it be a riot though if the jedi knight series were ported? At least the Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy ones (the others are so old they can run on emulators easy, I bet you could run em in virtualbox! no joke!)

The multiplayer in those games is the shit... Rune too, although Rune already has a native linux version hidden somewhere in the universe.
The source code for Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy has been open-sourced a while ago. I played an updated version with native support for linux.

Update : Crashes are fixed. It was a bug with the intel driver
