Mac v.s. Linux - Cross Platform Support (Beta)

This post concerns the Mac and Linux versions of Empire: Total War, ported by Feral Interactive.

We have updated the Mac OS X and Linux/SteamOS versions of Empire: Total War so that both versions now use a platform-agnostic maths library. This modification allows Mac OS X and Linux gamers to play against each other, both online and on LAN. Previously, this was impossible because the original library would work differently on different platforms, causing the game to be unable to keep in sync across platforms.

The changes to the maths library are fairly complex, so we are offering this as an opt-in Beta option so that you can try it out, and then report any issues you find back to us. We can then make improvements before we make the update available to everyone on the main retail branch.

You can find the Multiplayer Beta in the Beta tab of the Empire: Total War Properties window in your Steam client. The Beta branch is called "mac_linux_mp_beta".

There are few important points to note about the Beta:

1. Battle replays created in the current retail version will not work in the Beta, as they are based on the old maths library. All your other saves and progress are fully compatible.
2. If you opt into the Beta you can only play against other Mac and Linux users who are also opted into the Beta.
3. The Windows version is not affected by this change, so Mac and Linux users will not be able to play against Windows users, even if they are opted into the Beta.
4. If you have issues, please email our support team so they can collate them and report back to our development teams for investigation. The email address for all feedback on this Beta is empiremultiplayer@feralinteractive.com
5. The Beta exhibits a known performance drop compared to retail builds on AMD cards running on Linux which we will be investigating.

We hope you enjoy the Beta, and look forward to your feedback.

Thanks,

The Feral Interactive Team

Is your new maths library also being considered on Windows, or will Mac/Linux permanently be in their own little non-Windows ghetto for multiplayer?

I doubt it since Creative Assembly didn't do the OSX/Linux ports but it'd be really cool if the two developers could get together and make something work for the three platforms

Linux version seems to execute with no graphics whatsoever, though. I can just see the display cursor and here background sound. This is occuring whether I execute from Steam and from desktop icon.

Please make sure you meet all the requirements of the game, it has been shipping for a number of months now and we haven't had any major reports of problems.

Have you checked your hardware and software against the specifications?

The game FAQs should show you the location of your prefeneces and save data. You can open this folder and load FAQs using the pre game options window.

Nope, not in there. Funny joke to play on this guy though...

I would contact support, we don't have reports from users and the game has been out now for some time so it sounds like something that has been introduced in a SteamOS update.

If you contact with details we can investigate.
