Quoting: rkfgBut is it going to be released for Linux at the day one?

Twitter may have been vague, but the Itch and Steam pages list all platforms.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyA bit moot currently since I believe Mac has at least 5 times our gaming market share at the moment, so the market is larger porting to Mac anyway.

True. On the other hand, any dev that wants to can create a small partition on their dev machine and try a Linux build for free. Getting an actual Mac to test things on is not exactly cheap. Which, I assume, is why you frequently see games with a Linux port that don't have Mac ports.

Quoting: WorMzyBoo. Didn't realise it would require gtk3.

Shouldn't the snap include its dependencies?


Anyway. What is there seems to work perfectly fine. Not much to test of course, but I wanted to at least see how it responded to ultrawide. Which seems to be good apart from a minor nitpick.

Well, this is something I'd like to test for sure. Thanks! That'll give me something to do tonight.

I haven't played many games with Proton. One interesting one was Bioshock Remastered. This one is interesting because the reviews are littered with people complaining about crashes and whatever issues the game has. However, I played it all the way through without crashes or any other issues whatsoever. Seems that proton does better here than Win10. It is also pretty much a must for VR because the number of native releases is rather small. However, there I have encountered a few failures.

Nice! Still a long way away though. Even though the Linux port for this should be easier than the first one, I hope they leave it in for all that time. If they do, I'm there!

Quoting: WorMzyInteresting to see BL3 up there, so there must be a working Linux version! Hopefully it sees its way to Linux proper after the 'Epic exclusive' bollocks expires.

At least BL3 is built on UE4, so as long as they didn't make any exceptionally poor choices, it should port to Vulkan. I'm more surprised by things like Cyberpunk 2077 which is not an engine that was associated with Vulkan before. Which means quite a few big proprietary engines have already included Vulkan support.

Not the best reviews, but even some of the negative ones are about things that appeal to me. Definitely on my radar!

Quoting: Para-Glidingstrange game, it is badly rated on steam due it seems to bugs, no translation? Some of you own this gam and how does it compare to a minecraft for teenagers? ty for your returns

It is a strange game and I don't think it compares at all. Building takes a lot of work and resources. To get those, you need to move around to other islands as well. Make something better to sail with because the initial life raft is a disaster. Dive to get loot from underwater wrecks. And deal with hostile wild life. Diving to deeper wrecks creates quite a bit of tension due to sharks and lack of visibility. All in all a different experience.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWhat Windows gamer is going to install Linux just to get a refund of a single game?
Sounds a bit silly to me.

And silly people are unheard of? :D I'm thinking that there are 25% negative reviews. At least a portion of those might try to get something back out of shear principle. It quickly adds up to more than the number of Linux owners. Especially with the low percentage of sales that Rust appears to have on Linux.

Quoting: ysblokjeSo ehhh how would this work if you bought it via Humble Bundle at some point?

I suspect it doesn't. I got mine through a humble bundle. For me that means that the price was probably less than $1, so it's not even worth investigating.
