I'd like to build a linux-controlled drone :).

The game itself reminds me some good old 8 bit classics a bit. Might be addictive.

Thanks. It seems interesting. I need to test it out

I don't know why, but your code doesn't work for me. The recent beta code with the vulkan support doesn't do anything as well. Any help?

Quoting: Ehvis

What the hell are you waiting for?

Waiting for the option to pay for it I imagine. We do want SW2 as well, don't we. :D

Well I just bought that two years ago, but - sadly - still no linux version :). The second part is worse though IMO.

Damn, I've just bought that and it really lacks of the executable :(

I've subscribed the beta channel, but I still cannot switch to Vulkan. Ballistic Overkill itself didn't even updated to a newer version.

Damn, it looks like linux is starting to suck again in terms of gaming... I just bought it, and all I get is a black screen with a pointer (and game music in background). I know it says early access, but anyways... It's so frustrating. Worms W.M.D., Robocraft, Dirt Rally and a bit earlier, even the Rocket League stopped working properly... and now, the ESSENCE :(

Quoting: nadrolinuxIIRC workaround for a rendering issues with mesa was included in mesa 17.0. At now this game works without problems with radeonsi drivers and mesa 17.1 (I tested it with the last update 5 minutes ago^^), however you must remove libstdc++.so.6 from WormsWMD/lib path, without that a game will not launch which is a little sad (this file is restored with an each game update).

Wow, that solved my problems with running the game. I was unable to launch it, thanks. The game itself is buggy as hell anyways :(.

I am generally experiencing some significant frame skips in Mad Max just recently, but it was ok earlier. It's worth to mention however, but the game performance seems far better when using Vulkan. Oh by the way, do you know any applications that can show FPS'es and stuff while running a game? I know of GLXOSD but it doesn't show any output when running the Vulkan beta. And also, it seems to stuck on 60fpses in any game.
