Where is the Linux version?

[LiNuX-leillo]

Croteam games have a good Linux support, but, what happens with SS4?

[Dingus]

Will there be linux support?

Inquiring for the purpose of finding out whether or not to give moni I'd love to

[Wuffyhumps]

Great question. There is only a Windows icon right now. Croteam supports Linux for other games, and has been really focused on Linux in the past, so I was shocked to find out this didn't have day one Linux support.

Any news from Croteam about when the Linux support was coming?

package for linux supposedly exists, same with osx and VR versions https://steamdb.info/app/257420/depots/ but it's not advertised on store page and probably won't download it?

Let's hope they get around to the Linux release soon!

Empty depots, not even any private branches have files, so probably leftovers from ealier development :(

It doesn't matter as much if game runs on proton well. I imagine SS4 will be also added to Fusion at some point. Makes sense to focus on windows release first, especially given that it's obvious they rushed development at the very end to meet the deadline.

[HJ]

also it's not certain that depots are empty or not, they seem to be just encrypted or missing info, steamdb isn't all-knowing and steam does have some mechanisms to keep stuff secret.

That's but a lie, their support was bad at best and horrible most of the times.
Seriously, the same games on the same hardware manage to produce 60-80% less FPS just because it was built for a different target?
Croatian software development skills seems to suck a lot.

I believe they announced earlier this year that the linux version was being delayed to focus on getting the windows release out the door. I just look at it as windows users getting to do additional bug testing for me before it's 'final' release :)

Well here's a response they gave 4 months ago: https://steamcommunity.com/app/257420/discussions/0/4540134453715300875/?ctp=6#c2244427453113806594

idk what you're talking about, Fusion works great on Linux. Even VR works rather well. Are you sure you're not using ancient drivers or noveau? Depsite what valve claimed back in 2015 (or was it 2013) using linux even natively doesn't meant it will have better or same performance as windows.

Linux support is not planned at the moment.

Sorry but I got the same amount of FPS while playing on Vulkan, both on Windows and Linux. When it comes to Linux gaming, there is a lot of variables involved, like drivers. Have sure to install ALL games in a EXT4 partition, because ntfs-3g driver has a really big performance hit.

You can tune your distro to improve the performance by reading this:

Linux with Proton is borked

Unfortunately Linux with Proton is borked. Immediate crash dialog. Very sad without planned linux support, seems like its dead for me now (playing Serious Sam since the first encounter).

Croteam, please reconsider if a linux version should appear!
