Any news on Linux?

Does support coming back?

I hope Eugen Systems would reconsider their decision in the wake of upcoming Steam Deck release.

Thanks for the fast answer. By any chance, are you considering going back to Linux, in the wake of upcoming Valve's Steam Deck handheld PCs? Those systems are already in long backorder and would sell millions units. With Wargame engine's amazing perf optimization it's a great fit to run on portable systems.

Obviously, not on the run, but hooking Steam Deck to any available TV screen with kb+mouse is a great portable solution.

My friends still play Wargame on Linux using Proton. Maybe you should try that. :)

at least linux people can still play their version online together.

if you install wargame on linux, you still have the good version to watch old replays (and play matches based on linux community= ) and can decicate a "second machine" laptop like me to watch replays, while you go on on your main Gaming carreer

I have a stoney ridge laptop for 300€ (Lenovo Ideapad Slim 1-11AST05)
that sucks with win 10, but with ubuntu 20.10 + a kernel update I got the wifi to work, and wargame aswell.)
As linux is more lightweight, you can play almost any PC game that is not a biased shooter, Red dragon works very smooth even on high settings playable and Xrebirth aswell (all games that dont take more than 2-3 gb ram +graphics memory away)

thats a milestone for 300€ and you have almost 90% of all PC games working on it.
enough to develop on the important paths of informatic, including deformable terrain and get rid of the wallpaper-3d out of 2d-models that you cant destroy.

oficcially all of that sucks, but its the future OFF the cloudblow-informatics that proclaims to be the future offway the truth

Thanks for an advice. Proton is a nice tool, but it's not a replacement for native version.

Yes, it is.

It is a 'replacement for native version'. That's the point.

I would gladly debate anyone who makes this "but it's not native" offhand comment everytime Linux gaming comes up, if you care to share your decades of expertise in Linux Kernel development, writing libraries or just C/C++ ... in another life.

Or, you could just compare your Linux 'native' Wargames (1 & 2) with running them in Proton/WINE, if it is about playing games you care. See for yourself?

:TerribleFace:

No, it's not the point. And I'm not interested in debate over it, because goal of debate is not to find the truth, so it's a waste of time.

Yes, it's a good thing that Eugen handled it properly. And I'll be happy to welcome them back, if they'll reconsider this decision.

[Enigmatic]

I'll be patiently waiting for a native version as well.

You don't have to write new libs. You just use existing GNU/Linux Libs not Microsoft Visual studio lol or windows Media player. It's choice is all it is.

[Bashar Al Assad]

We could all still play the old version together weren't for a vocal minority pressure the devs to split the community with a patch over a minor glitch.

[Moshh]

If Eugen could please have a quick look at Proton support that would be seriously appreciated.

The game seems to run fine with Dx11 set as the default. There also needs to be an easy way to disable the movies as they have a reliance on windows media player...

Or more precisely EGS's pressure. ;)

[Enigmatic]

Yeah that might be a part of it.
If you also pay for Microsoft 'services' you are also susceptible to having your product controlled as well.

South Africa not on Linux? not buying it then

Was looking forward to purchasing some new Wargame DLC, unfortunately, I found out that Linux is no longer supported by the developers.

Since this is the case, I will not be investing in the Wargame franchise in the future.

Windows is irrelevant and I will never use a Windows computer again. Yea, I play some Windows games with Proton, but for Wargame I will not, since it has a Linux version from the past. So no, I will not be switching to Proton for Wargame just to get the new DLC.

[dream scatter]

Yea, I'm not going to be purchasing any more Wargame DLC without Linux support.

I will not be switching to Proton just for one DLC and a minor patch.

If they want me as a customer, they are welcome to continue Linux support. Windows is outdated software I haven't used in almost a decade now. I am surprised there are still people who use Windows in the real world.
