Quoting: RaymondYes, will buy it but it's so stupid that Square Enix recently had a very good deal on the game (70% off I believe) so close to the release on Linux. I guess many bought the game then and they wont buy the game twice of course, all these sales are already Windows sales....

I haven't bought the game yet to make sure that Feral gets honored. Though according to https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3232/post_id=15175 these earlier sales do count for Linux when bought and initially played on Linux.

I was never really much into the original TR games, if I remember correctly I only finished the 2nd one. The 2013 reboot though is one of my all time favorites, really loved presentation, story and game-play. So I'm really getting excited about Rise of the TR coming to Linux. Seems release date is coming closer now.

PS: Really hope this will be a huge financial success, then we can hope for Shadow of the TR too. (Once story and artwork is complete/all DLC's are released and when our Windows friends are finished with beta-testing ;))

Quoting: skinnyrafAnd yet another discussion hijacked into a GNU/Linux, Free Software, purists vs pragmatists, DRM, GOG vs Steam flamewar...

..also known as "a typical family gathering weekend in Gaming on Linux 'fan site'" :P. I love it people... except I'm notice this year becoming almost daily basis.

I'll take advise from a very wise user here recently and just get a beer :)

Quoting: jensPeople running a FOSS exclusive system should be able to do so. Using non-FOSS software, like me using NVidia drivers and Steam, should also be "just OK" and accepted.

Extreme views "this and that should not be accepted" usually serves no one in the long term but only feeds useless religious discussions.

The discussion was not about what users are installing, but what is acceptable or not for developers to push on users. Something like CUDA from Nvidia should not be acceptable for example. Same goes for any other type of lock-in or exclusivity, which are simply anti-competitive practices. Trying to whitewash such kind of practice serves no good purpose.

It would be nice of you if you would state your personal opinion as such. I respect that you are highly offended by any kind of exclusivity.

Quoting: elbuglione"some trying to justify exclusives and lock-in as a valid methodology"
Sadly... is valid, because is working!

It has no place in FOSS-philosophy, even when there's a proprietary store front in middle.

People need to stop viewing Linux as FOSS-exclusive. It ain't, and it won't build the momentum required unless big-money gets behind it (as evidenced by Valve pushing it).

Yes. As @mirv already pointed out, it is all about providing choice. Fortunately Linux does that. People running a FOSS exclusive system should be able to do so. Using non-FOSS software, like me using NVidia drivers and Steam, should also be "just OK" and accepted.

Extreme views "this and that should not be accepted" usually serves no one in the long term but only feeds useless religious discussions.

Quoting: GuestYeah, it's sad a tiny vocal minority can give a bad image of the Linux community as a whole. Insulting developers for games, what a shame ! Some people need to grow up :)

I agree 100 percent I do genuinely believe that the people being vocale are the ones that code themselves they see linux as a open easy to develop for platform and anything that does not run flawlessly at release is obiviously down to incompetence or lazyness. I have noticed that the linux community is very militant about many things but linux gaming is one of them just seems to bring out the worst in the harcore linux for life crowds. I get being annoyed a game you paid for doesnt play well with your system at least we have steam refunds, bottom line error reports with crash reports being sent and a description of the game error helpful. Long ramble rant about learning to linux brah not so much.

Yep, the Linux community can be the best, but unfortunately sporadically also the worst to deal with.

Quoting: lucifertdarkI'm not getting the green screen with the latest patch, could it be your video drivers? I'm using the 390.48 nvidia drivers.

Interesting what causes this. Video driver version would be my first bet too, but I'm also running nvidia driver version 390.42.

390.42 and 390.48 are actually two different driver releases, but I didn't see anything in the changelog that could be relevant.

Ah, thanks a lot for correcting me, missed the difference in that last digit ;). Lets see what happens once negativo17 pushes this version for Fedora.

Quoting: ArehandoroA bit late maybe, but has someone tried the game now that the patch is official? I get a green screen at the beginning of the mission (cgi intro) and only hear music/voice and see subtitles. After the intro ends the game crashes and exits to the desktop. Have tried to find the logs for the game but strangely it's not where the devs say.

I have the same green cutscenes, the -skipmovies launch option did the trick for me. Not perfect but acceptable.

Quoting: GuestI'm confused - what are people arguing about?

Just the usual :)
As soon as someone points out that Open Source/FOSS has its weaknesses too some brave FOSS warrior stands up and fights with a knife between its teeth till the last men ;)
