Linux Support Soon?

Saw some signs of Linux support in the depots today. Does this mean Linux will be coming soon?

Wow Kindred. Yeah, that was bad. Come on dude, like, at least try?
So, at the moment I'm doing a build for Linux. This game would literally work out of the box, if it weren't for some kind of freeze that is occurring when loading into the game.

I have no experience with gdb or valgrind, but I intend to get the build on the linux machine and see if it's still freezing (there has been a lot of code refactoring since I last tried.)

If it's still freezing, I need to figure out how to get the project compiling in Linux with cmake, and then attempt to debug it I guess? ♥♥♥♥'s hard because at 4.7.1, the version we're on, Unreal doesn't "officially" support native Linux building. So we have to cross-compile.

Thanks for the status update, hope it works out. There's a branch that made it easier to build the Linux editor for 4.7 if that helps. I did it with one of the versions and got the basic blueprint stuff to work well.

does Unreal mean an OS X build is also in the works? I already have the game and a Windows PC, but would love to have this on my Mac as well :).

We are indeed planning on releasing on OS X as well. The Mac build is in a similar boat as the Linux one. We only have one Mac machine to test on, so it's bottlenecked pretty hard there.
