GOG would do a hell of a allot better if they'd release that GOG Galaxy Linux Client!?¿!

I think many companies are just afraid of getting a bad reputation if the port gets released wonky like many often do. But for the most part issues get resolved in due time, helps allot that MESA is actually making progress also.

g000h wish I was you, being able to be entertained so easily for endless hours would be amazing, sadly most games tend to be quite MEH after a few hours at a time. I only keep playing Skyrim because of mods, but have only beat the game once in a rush.

The most time I have probably spend on a game that is not Multiplayer would be Witcher3, it just takes quite a while to finish the base game (have not even got into DLC because low FPS at 4k, waiting on upgrade).

Perhaps if Feral went to Bethesda and said, 'hey we will make the Skyrim/Fallout ports happen with no cost to you, and you'd still make %% profit from sales you would otherwise not have got', THEN maybe Bethesda would listen, but if Feral go asking for money to make a port then they will get a literal sword in the gut from certain developers.

Looks good, wonder if someone has setup some performance analysis benchmarks. Be interesting to find out how well it manages these high end 3D features in comparison to say, Unity3D.

Yeah I know, Bethesda has a bit of a cold war going on with Linux, they don't acknowledge it and seem to avoid hiring anyone with Linux experience (last time I heard nobody in their office has linux installed anywhere...)

Well its more a question of WHAT GAMES CAN THEY PORT.

BUT given that Bethesda has Vulkan render setup with the Switch version of Skyrim (SE) then I would say make SkyrimSE and Fallout4 available. Next would be Witcher3 or/and GTA5, but allot of these bigger companies are HOSTILE to the idea of Linux (have in the past), no idea why, they just are.

Unlikely List: (Dev hates Linux)
Skyrim SE
Fallout 4
Witcher 3 (no GOG Galaxy, backed out of W3 for Linux)
GTA5
Mass Effect Andromeda

Likely List: (Dev may be open to Linux)
Empyrion - Galactic Survival
Rise of the Tomb Raider
DOOM (ID, easy port)
RAGE (ID, easy port)
Med Of War Assault Squad 2
Carmageddon Max Damage (sure why not)
Galactic Civ III
Legend of Grimrock 2 (first one was)
RISEN 3 Titan Lords

That is some on my list there are some upcoming games also but will wait until release, I would even be open to paying a additional fee on top (not full price again please) to get the Linux version of these games!

It would be nice if it also gave you a percentage of performance vs native windows.

Yes, I keep forgetting your not like the chap over at Phoronix, not much spare hardware laying around no doubt. That fella has a server basement full of sleeping hardware waiting around for a benchmark to happen once a month :)

Ok, well for 2-3 players on the server I'd thought a Dual Core CPU would be enough, but I guess you still have all these dinos running around being simulated in a stupid fashion.
