Two Worlds II RPG delayed for Linux

Apparently you need to pay extra to get access to the games console command, so say you can fix quests etc like you do in Skyrim. Wondering if this developer is serious about the gaming industry, it also makes it hard to believe they will honor their Linux version commitment.

Quoting: 14If it gets multiplayer / co-op, I'll get it, otherwise I'm personally not interested in playing by myself.
I will get into it once that happens also, maybe some twitch stream stuff.

Well I have it already because I was following its development long before release and there was a discount, it was risky and It may still turn into abandon-ware at some point, but we will see.

It has got much better since pre-steam launch versions, I hope they can improve on it a fair bit more and remove that god awful fog of war, and perhaps make better LOD for shrubbery/trees as the pop-in is ugly.

It runs ok under amdgpu mesa driver, however still needs allot of work before 4k resolution is considered playable. I run at 1440p for any sort of sensible framerate.

LMAO, I hate being right sometimes.

Large texture sizes is a big problem with OpenGL with its amazingly low Limit of 750MB or so on 32bit apps! DX9 32bit has a limit of 4GB on windows8+ (is unlimited on Win7). Truly it is a troubling issue that makes no sense to me.

If you plan to make a HD graphics game, for the love of god start with a 64bit exe or face major consequences!

Liam is it possible you can do a list of E3 games that might be coming to Linux? might make for a interesting news article. I'm trying to find out details myself but with not much luck...

Steam Direct launches as Valve gave the greenlight to many of the remaining 3,400 games left

Gone are the days of botnets green-lighting terrible games from terrible developers, hopefully...

Guess the bots will focus now on posting fake reviews, however I think there are some conditions to that also?

Quoting: LeopardWhat about no Tux no bucks?
While most the time if the developer is in a position to release a Linux version I will argue this point. Unfortunately there are many older games or DX11 games that are left in the dust that won't get a Linux release any time soon, or ever. So you can choose to NOT buy them, you are missing out on some amazing stuff however!

Also if their games work well via Wine that can convince developers to look at making it official, as we have seen happen in the past. Plus it brings more people over to Linux platform which we need, people just want to play their games, they don't care about the politics of it all! MMKAY

Are you ready for some more Tyranny? Something is being teased for tomorrow

I heard the game was quite short story wise, like 6hrs or something.

I might wait until it hits $15usd or something .

In same boat, last time I played it was during early access. I might have to dust it off and find a local group to play with for some fun.

I like it went developers commit and follow through with updating their games beyond expectations like this, so many games on my steam list from EA are getting like a minor update every few months, real pathetic. Or abandoned.

Sure developers need money, start a new exciting project if you must but don't abandon previous games and leave them incomplete!
