SteamOS/Linux

According to the Development Roadmap Linux is still the first objective, but I see in SteamDB that yesterday Linux was removed from oslist, what happened?

Greetings, SteamOS and Linux will follow soon. We removed it from the description as it isn't in yet.

Hm, OK then, I'll wait.
Congrats for the release.

+1 for Linux but improve the game first... ;)

Any update on this?

Hey LiamD,

Unfortunately, Unreal Engine 4's Linux support is somewhat limited, especially regarding up to date graphics/rendering features. We put a ton of work in to getting our game up to date on Linux/SteamOS, and from a technical and game-code standpoint, we are there, but a specific bug in UE4's rendering messes with the game's landscape.
We are now just waiting on an update from Epic Games to fix the specific rendering bug, at which point we can put The Other 99 out there on Linux.

We are really disappointed we haven't been able release on other platforms sooner, but are keeping an eye out for updates, and will release as soon as possible!

Cheers,
Harry

Thanks for the update, the open communication here is really appreciated.

I will give it a shout out and just maybe it will poke epic a bit for you :)

Haven't really cared about most of the "survival" genre, but it looks like this game brings what the others appear to lack - a sense of mystery and narrative...

And I am thoroughly impressed by the level of responsiveness the devs have on these forums!

All that, and the transparency around the delay for the Linux release...?

Kudos to you guys, this is how it should be done!

Here's hoping the Linux version arrives before Christmas - got some free time coming up... :)
