well.. unfortunately for me these requirements look kinda too much for my pc..but I want this game so much and I will try it no matter what. I got it just now from Humble. I will probably get a new pc next year (at last!) so its ok either way.

Hopefully they will release it soon! Thank you Feral! <3

That's really sad. I hope they give us a Linux version sometime after release. *sigh*

Quoting: riusmaI have This War of Mine on my Steam library (with the War Child Charity DLC) and I never found the time to launch it... I hope that when I will be in the right mood for playing it it will still be playable on Linux. :|

I agree with Eike. Go for it! Unique survival game with crafting/resource management etc. Highly recommended.

PS: yes, if you play a lot you start min-maxing everything and the game looks easy, but the feeling when you first start playing and you have no clue..is unique..

Personally I never had issues running the game. I also got the season pass because I was certain it was worth it (somehow I managed to sink 104 hours into this game with endless mods etc..). I am greatly disappointed..lets put it that way. They better remove the steamOS icon from season pass as well..

PS: They have to make an official statement with their intentions.

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: PatolaBut... Haven't they said it would be ready by the end of this month? :'(

Nope. They only said in the autumn previously.

ehem..it was "early" autumn first..but then unfortunately that became autumn. That's probably why people assumed it will get released during this month. They probably had to reschedule due to the DLC. I just hope its not that far away. (secretly hoping for a release on Nov 8th)

PS: are you anxious about that Stellaris announcement tomorrow Liam? (I hope there is a date for the 2.2 release in there)

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: SadL..personally I had no issues with Civ V or Civ VI ..should I feel lucky?

Regardless, I really like Civilization series (big fan since 1991) and I want a native build (obviously it's always good to have other options like proton/wine as well).

The previous comments make me worry a bit about future compatibility. I would hate it if my next gpu (or pc for that matter) had issues running these games. Hopefully Aspyr will fix the issue and then focus on improving the port.

From what i understand , they both using AMD gpu's. I'm on Nvidia like you and never had a problem.

Maybe that's the case. Hopefully things can get better for them from the driver's front as well.

I really agree with Spacesurfer and LibertyPaulM. Pretty sure Aspyr feels the heat and they are trying. Getting a port up to date with crossplatform multiplayer after a delay (even a big one) is better than having no port at all.

Quoting: dpanter

Quoting: SadLLet me quickly jump into this conversation just to add that it looks like it is possible to play a game with proton even if there is a native port. At least that's what people report in some reddit posts (/r/linux_gaming) link [External Link]. People mention that you can download a windows version of a game through SteamCMD and then use the proton_run script to run it using proton.

I installed a game with Native2Proton, worked like a charm. I compared it to the Linux native version which I also had installed at the same time. It was just some small indie game but still.

Yeah..I always forget that script.. and I couldn't find it when was asked about it on steam (Civ VI Linux discussion) ..I really have to bookmark it just to send it to whoever asks. Personally I am just waiting/wanting native games..but its always a good idea to have options.

Quoting: M@GOidIf my experience with Proton means something, Feral is pretty safe. Unless Proton magically hits Gallium 9 levels of performance, their ports will always be better.

And I still keep my promise of "no tux, no bux".

im not sure about that
if you take ROTR and compare linux native vs windows

and shadow of TTR - linux proton vs windows
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qubt4vrrh_E [External Link]

the difference is not that big. lets wait how a native port of the new TR performs, but proton set the bar quite high

im also waiting for valve leting you install windows versions of native linux games on linux and compare it to the native version

You can, if you wish, install Steam via wine and basically run the games that way. Of course, for apples-to-apples, you might want a customised wine version that includes what patches Valve have added. Depends how desperately you want to compare though - obviously it's not a click and play approach, you'll need to build wine for yourself.

"Proton" misses a few other things that might not show in the usual comparisons (at work right now, and watching gaming videos on youtube is frowned upon, so I've not watched the links). Any porting company can tweak parts of the game itself to smooth out gameplay (I know Feral did this for Mad Max, where specific map areas were tweaked with Vulkan to have them run much better). A generic wrapper like wine can't really do this too easily, but then it's also perhaps not something seen in every game either. I only mention because while it might not show up in youtube videos, it can affect game enjoyment quite substantially.

For myself, Rise of the Tomb Raider was extra playable for me personally because of some of the work Feral did with task management and multiple cores. Even my old rig played it smoothly because of 6 cores.

Wine though does let me play even native games that won't work for me (Dawn of War II: Retribution in particular has some audio library incompatibility meaning I can only play it properly via wine). Basically there's more to it than just fps is all I'm trying to say.

Let me quickly jump into this conversation just to add that it looks like it is possible to play a game with proton even if there is a native port.
