Linux version ?

[Thornok]

since many game engines seem so support Linux, why not create a Linux port ?

not necessarily, many game engines (Unreal, Unitiy, Godot) run on multiple platforms.

Windows Edge is based on open source chromium, the same browser i am using on Linux.

there are many cross platform programs people are using on windows.

windows was better in the past but i had too many issues so i removed it completely.

Windows is made for games, whether you like it or not. It's where most of the gamers are. I wouldn't spent a scent on Linux games.

Windows games run on Linux.

Ubuntu 22.04 is a masterpiece and everybody not using it is missing out.

A lot of them do. And some work way better than others and can fluctuate from game update to update. ESO for example has really bad graphical glitches under Linux since like 3 expansions ago.

But when I wanna play a game, I don't wanna have to try messing with trying dif versions of proton, hope I can find a Lutris installer for games not on Steam. I don't even know how you install and play Battle.net, U-play, Epic store games etc. And don't wanna deal with it if it involves the terminal etc. when I can just download and install on Windows.

Also I couldn't make use of my Game Pass PC sub of course, which is how I will be playing this particular game.

I'm thrilled Linux gaming has improved so much over the last few years. Choice and competition is always good. But it's just not worth the hassle to me.

I am commenting on Linux today, there is no Windows in my appartment.

Linux is not only about gaming, it's about everything.

Use Proton, it's what's being used now days, less and less games are getting Linux ports because of it.

yes of course, almost all games run with Proton … i even have Diablo 2 Resurrected on Linux :)

Not alot of games are being supported on Linux sadly :C Hell even newer games wont even be able to be played on older Windows like Windows 7 for example. Sadly if you want to know for sure that you'll be able to play any game on pc that you see, switching to windows is the only option. Otherwise as Ron said check out Proton!

Everytime a new game appears on Steam we get these Linux and Mac users coming on the forum with their:

Where's the Mac version, where's the Linux version
Why isn't there a Mac version, why isn't there a Linux version
Is there gonna be a Mac version, is there gonna be a Linux version.

Why should Devs waste their time and resources making games for operating systems that hardly anybody uses ?/

Exactly!! And these OSes doesn't have what it takes to run games at their full capacity or even close!
I'm actually surprised that some devs wastes their time, effort and resources to make their games available on Linux and Mac!! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

FYI in case anyone is wondering - the game runs if you switch to Proton Experimental.

I am able to play on high settings with DLSS (balanced) enabled, 80% resolution scale in 1080p on 40-60+ FPS on an MSI laptop with a 3060 and Arch Linux.
All this with OBS recording enabled.

Runs pretty well IMO.

+1 for a native elf/linux version (not that msft grade proton technical abomination)

The pb, I may watch some streams, spoil myself to a point even if a native elf/linux version is out I would not buy and play it.

(ooops it seems those may be the same group of ppl than you have in ubisoft and
in microsoft in my country... bad omens).

[Thornok]

the first one runs with Proton & Radeon & Ryzen.

maybe a native version would be worse.

I bought this game and I confirm that this game run perfectely in linux ( I play this game on my Mint Distro (Kernel 5.15)
-> Not needed to enable Proton: Install and play!

Enjoy this game on your Linux Distro. :)

Which game are you talking about? Because this very game does not even propose to download an elf/linux version. Maybe you had that horrible proton enable without knowing it.
I know that technically, only win64+vulkan support via a lean wine build is reasonable. But most if not all win64-only games (aka windoz) won't run with such a lean windows compatibility layer, maybe ID software games would though.

All that to say, I did watch steams, and saw nearly the whole game now (I am 99% spoiled :( I know it is all on me). This game is beautiful (but does not reach an horizon forbidden west), and its type is mostly a narrative "corridor game".

Spoiler: Proton is frickin' magic! Native ports are overrated anyway. A lot of them are not maintained well, don't support multiplayer properly, etc.
