I hope crytek keeps working on their port, due to this game coming, and most of all star citizen.

Raven’s Cry Released On Linux, Still A Bit Buggy
1 Feb 2015 at 12:56 am UTC

Quoting: KeyrockYeah, the game seems to have a lot of bugs. I've been pretty lucky on my Xubuntu 14.04 rig. There is a bug (which I reported) that the game often (not always) locks up when autosaving. There is an easy workaround which is to simply disable autosaving (I've never had the game lock up when manually saving). Outside of that, the game has run quite well for me, though it could just be dumb luck as I've only played a little over 2 hours so far.

I'd say AAA graphics is a bit of a stretch. The environments look pretty nice, but the character models, especially outside of the main character and a few other major characters, look like they're from about 7 or 8 years ago. The voice acting and dialogue are pretty bad, there are major lip sync issues (maybe due to this being in a different language than English initially), missing voice acting, clipping issues pretty crazy for a game released in 2015, weird audio mixing problems making it hard to hear conversations (luckily there are separate volume sliders for voices and other stuff, so you can work around this), and a whole host of bugs and lack of polish issues.

With all that said, I'm enjoying the game. It has a weird low budget charm to it. The naval combat isn't as smooth, fast, and nicely flowing as in Black Flag, but it works well enough once you get used to it and doesn't hold your had as much (which I like). Plus the game has real, proper, dirty, vulgar, sexist sea shanties, the way they were meant to be. I love me some sea shanties.

Anyway, I've been lucky with the game running well for me. Hopefully they'll get the issues sorted out so it will run well for others too. To anyone thinking about getting this, know that it;s essentially a beta right now.
Yeah this autosaving lockup for me always happens right as i start trying to board my ship. It just freezes the system for a few minutes and then crashes to desktop.

This has been a weird and horrific week in the first part of 2015 for us Linux gamers.. Hope it gets better.

Day one release of Raven's Cry.. you have to go to properties and "betas", and select "Devcomp"...in order to download 5GB of files after you initially download 2.1GB...interesting.

Owh man, I spent my cash on Dying Light (well spent!) so now I can't afford Raven's Cry!

I can't believe it's come to a point where we are getting new high quality games for Linux, and there's too many that I can't afford to keep getting them all.
Hopefully Raven's Cry actually works..Lol

Dying Light Patch Released, Our Thoughts On It, Still Terrible

They say that they are fixing issues on distros like Linux Mint?? my laptop with the intel chip runs the game in Linux Mint... Although after this patch, my AMD Phenom 2 x6 1100T still wont load this game.
