Quoting: Dunc

Quoting: EndeavourAccuracyMy experience with Rust on Linux was mid-June of this year.
First, it crashed, so I restarted.
Then I joined a queue to start a MP game.
After waiting for ~15 minutes to join the game, it crashed again.
Never played it again, 0.4 hrs on record.

Same here. I think I have an hour on record, because I've owned it for longer and tried a few times to run it. I've never actually been able to play the game. (It may well be that NVidia bug, but it doesn't look like one. It feels more like something in the network code.)

Nvidia bug was game crashing during loading assets. Near 1800th asset it was crashing to desktop.

Quoting: namiko

Quoting: Leopard...Turned out it was a Nvidia driver bug.

Wow. If he's got Nvidia's Linux drivers to blame for lost game sales (their drivers have been pretty impossible for some laptops), that's pretty shitty of Nvidia.

Definitely upgrading to an AMD when I get the chance because Nvidia on Linux is going downhill.

Nvidia driver bug had a workaround , we discovered it a bit late.

Other problems were ( 5 people including me refunded on Nvidia driver bug state , 1 person applied workaround and get past asset loading screen ) according to person who got it running were :

1-) Crazy memory leak
2-) Very slow load times

So he also refunded due to this.

Overall ; yes there was an Nvidia bug that affects drivers higher than 390 but that was not the only reason of our refunds.
Like he stated on these 3 year old tweets , probably he never tested Linux builds so it made them more error prone. When people started buying , refunding , error reporting ( recently saw a Rust related issue on Valve Steam Github ) it just triggered him.

Well , honestly i'm a bit sad but i rather prefer giving my money to devs who really tries to support Linux.

Good luck to him and his game , that's all i can say.

On the last sales , 6 person bought that game and refunded due to crash to desktop out of 40 person populated Linux discord group.

Turned out it was a Nvidia driver bug.

I think people like us who are refunding and noting problems on refund request triggered that not willing to support Linux anyway dev and he got rid of us.

Simple.

Quoting: AzPGreat news! They recently tweeted be that "We are still doing loads of work with Vulkan, and may have some news for you soon…", so hopefully we will see it release with Vulkan support!

If that means revisiting old titles that needs performance upgrade, they're very welcome.

Nice.

If BossKey Productions - Nexon would do the same thing for LawBreakers ; that would be good.

Quoting: GuestBecause why would anyone consider porting to a platform where people pirate games anyway?

That's how it impacts the GNU/Linux gaming market.

Lol , Windows guys are pirating much more than us. There is why Denuvo like things exist

And also , you're just keep saying like " You are pirating every piece of software"

If you want i can just put screenshot of my Steam payments. Pure Linux compatible games and i'm spending much more than my Windows days to games.

We are not pirating Linux games or games has a possibility for Linux ports. There are some games has zero chance for Linux ports and i simply don't want to spend money for them.

Why? Because i'm using Linux only which means i need use Wine to play them with a so so experience , caveats.

If i was a dual booter i would buy them too. Because i simply don't like to pay for an unsupported product and suffer.

In fact , people like you are much more dangerous to Linux gaming scene. You are simply saying :

Linux support is not important for me to buy your products.

Great logic

Quoting: lejimsterWell. I always love Linux support. But Dying Light doesn't even work on my Arch distro. I get further into the game using DXVK.

This an AMD issue and probably will be fixed on Mesa 18.2

And also a user confirmation:

Hi

I can confirm Dying Light is still working great with this series, it
doesn't require any overrides and changes to the graphical settings no
longer cause crashes

https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2018-June/198844.html [External Link]

Game works for Nvidia like since it is out , because Nvidia driver always had compat profiles while AMD open source driver wasn't until last year.

Quoting: tonRAs expected. I'm always doubting any games shown on Microsoft E3 will launched on Linux. Including beloved CP2077 (sorry guys). If the games 'shown on Microsoft E3' launched on Linux, great but i'm expecting the game will become broken like Ark. If the games doesn't become 'Ark', then I will buy it. That's the lesson I learned after become Linux gamer.

Sorry guys, but my perception sometimes hard to change. And for many reasons.

You are very right , why are you keep saying sorry though?

Until they support Linux properly , no bucks from me.

Also a clarification to running repacked games:

If i had to buy every Windows only title to run them with Wine , i would dual boot or single boot to Windows instead. I don't like to pay and suffer.

Quoting: mylkai havent played dead island riptide. ill gonna buy it now and play it on linux. maybe it helps techland to decide

do we know if they use VULKAN for windows?
i think it would be easier to port it to linux then, like this article says about doom
https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/doom-2016-could-have-been-on-linux-id-software-made-a-linux-version-sound-easy-to-do.11465

Probably DX11 ( for Windows 7 users ) and DX12 combined ( because of Xbox One version), little chance for Vulkan.
