Quoting: TheBardIt's lame. If you don't plan to actively porting something on Linux, just don't tease it! When it's teased, it's to late to shut our mouth. Then you need to communicate and be honest. That's what is called an healthy business relation.

That kind of attitude is what is preventing us from having an honest communication relationship with devs.
Larian were honest about their porting troubles. They had some unforseen middleware issues that took some time to figure out. In the end they delivered a very well optimized rpg for Linux.

Yet people continued to bitch about the delays. That attitude is what is keeping cdpr from disclosing any information.

It's easy.

They're working on it but are having difficulties. This would be their first Linux game. Witcher 2 was outsourced to VP.
The complete silence in a PR tactic. They essentially don't want to tell us anything because of the usual backlash companies get when postponing Linux releases. They want to avoid the hate that Larian got when they postponed Divinity: Origininal Sin for Linux.
It's all due to the toxic members of the community that are somehow very vocal on Linux and simply cannot tolerate release dates being pushed back.

This is why we can't have nice things and a direct conversation with developers.

You can use the steam controller outside of steam, right?

This does not include Android, even though it is Linux,

Android is not Linux. Linux programs don't work on Android and Android apps don't work on Linux.
Android uses a heavily modified version of the Linux kernel. That's it.

What are your thoughts, any theories?

Vulkan is a new API. So far all performance tests yielded similar results. This was expected and is not news.

Please don't sensationalize the issue. Vulkan will get better in time as will it's implementation by game developers. :)

Another benchmark seems to contradict your results.

"On SteamOS Nvidia's Threaded Optimization was set to ON."
You guys should redo your tests using that. :)

They should also stop collecting user data without their explicit consent.
Hopefully you guys haven't forgotten. :)

Drifting snows + hazelnuts (which are brown-ish) = desserts?

Mad Max? :D

Linux market share will always be hard to track just because the OS doesn't phone home and that's a good thing. :)
