Yeah, we're still lacking in the games department. But it's getting a lot better. If we actually get CIV VI, Shadow Warrior 2, Deus Ex MD, Homefront Revolution, Hitman and Street Fighter V I think more developers/publishers will start following suit. I'm sure we'll get Deus Ex and Hitman as Feral are doing them, the rest...... Maybe.

Hopefully VP and Aspyr come back out with some projects pretty soon.

The back and forth is VERY annoying; or the for sure, we're working on it, we're looking at it, I don't know what you are talking about. Makes you wish they would keep their mouths shut until it was set in stone.

Would probably be a good idea. Not sure how he'd respond though, I think he's been getting crap from people about Darksiders since he left Nordic(or whatever related company he worked for).

Hmm Darksiders - now that is a game I'd like to play...

Same here, I threw it at the Feral requestinator.

Quoting: ziabiceStill not working with Mesa radeonsi, all I get is a black screen, but I can hear sounds and voices :(

Not surprising, I believe these use the engine for Dying Light. Dying Light will not run on AMD at all, NVidia only. I did play the original Dead Island on an AMD card, but not the Definitive. Unfortunately I think if you want to play Dead Island/Dying Light, you must use Nvidia.

Would be nice if that changes at some point.

Dying Light working fine on AMD GPU with fglrx driver. Don't know how or if working on AMDGPU-PRO but should. Mesa still is not supporting.

Interesting, maybe it got patched. I haven't tried it since shortly after Dying Light released. Haven't run an AMD card since shortly after Dying Light came out. We had another thread where another user confirmed it not working on AMD due to OpenGL profile versions that Techland said wasn't there problem to fix. Thinking back on it I think that was limited to mesa and not fglrx.

Out of curiosity what distro/version you running? I got a little tired of patching the fglrx drivers every time I upgraded the kernel and AMD decided they wouldn't stay compatible with current kernels. I run Fedora which maintains a pretty recent kernel, say Ubuntu or Debian may not have that problem.

Quoting: WorMzyThat's nice to see. Didn't both companies involved just throw up their arms and say "not our problem" just a couple of months ago? Would be nice to see which company is actually showing some integrity and pushing out these updates.

Yeah, noted here, weird since the games are being updated.

It seems like some of the developers releasing for Linux have only a couple of people working on the ports and almost no one else really even knows they exist. I'm hoping this is what is happening with Shadow Warrior 2 also. They really should send out a memo company wide that no one is to answer questions about Linux in any way besides that they do not have any information on that, along with the name of someone who does and can answer the questions. That would just make to much sense though.

Quoting: natewardawgI wouldn't put much stock in the response of a level designer on this topic. Not being mean at all, but he really may not even know Linux if he saw it.

My thoughts exactly. By saying I don't think so it tells me that he has absolutely no idea, doesn't know anything about it one way or the other.

I played through Riptide before the patches and had no issues whatsoever. It was great. I didn't get Dead Island Definitive as I have the original and played it ALOT!!!

Seems like someone that has no idea what is going on talking about things they have no business talking about.

One dev commented on the Steam Forum 3 hours ago..

"The linux version is still development, but we still don't quite have a date yet - work is on going and hopefully soon, we can share some more news with you."

Good to see they are at work.. but it will still take some time.

Yeah, I haven't come to the soon conclusion either. From my perspective they only just actually started working on it, so we're probably several if not many months out.
