Linux Support for Tribes of Midgard

[LinuxGameConsortium.com (LGC)]

Since we have confirmation that Unreal Engine 4 is being used for development.
Here is hoping to see native Linux support for Tribes of Midgard.

If you played the Open Beta and want to see Linux support. This is the place to share that Tux Love or +1

Curious to know if this will have Linux support. The developer offered GamingOnLinux a key on KeyMailer, so will be interested to know if that was in error.

Tribes runs well via Proton. Since Unreal Engine 4 is being used for development.

I agree, a formal Linux confirmation is certainly welcome. And long overdue.

I am curious too!

Hi all,

Apologies it took so long to reply! Right now Tribes does not have Linux support. It may run on Proton - the next time we have the game open you can certainly try it out (and let us know if it does)!

So I take it there's no plans to support Linux right now?

Not right now, no, but this could change in the future.

From my experience Norsfell, Linux support seems to go back and forth.

Therefore, it would be great to actually see native support. It's been talked about in email, discussed, and of course outlined here on Steam as well. So the demand is there. :)
Especially since content development is using Unreal Engine 4.

Please consider native Linux support! This game looks like exactly what my crew loves (PvE, crafting, classes, survival). Keep up the hard work!

+1 I would love to see native linux support

[Deuxis]

Yup. I wanna buy and play this game, but only if it supports Linux. (Natively or via Proton or other seamless tool, as long as it works decently.) If it will not and I'll be forced to jump through hoops to play it then I will not buy it. (And either not play it at all or pirate it.)

Just spend time developing for the 98% of people who use windows to game like adults. Linux support isn't financially relevant.

second: dont waste resources supporting fringe operating systems. all the +1's in the world dont amount to copies sold and weve seen over the years when going back to these threads years AFTER the devs supported linux 75% of the people who claimed they would buy the game STILL dont have it in their steam libraries.

EXACTLY!

[Deuxis]

I'm sorry. But the situation is as it is exactly because of that attitude. Valve did nice work integrating Proton and enabling its support and the goal of seamless Linux support is so close that I'm sure the effort required to support it is outweighed by even the 25% of the current, small market. And if Steam Deck takes off, the market will get much, much bigger. But even if the given studio has such thin resources, at least set up a Linux support thread where people will work together to make it happen with the dev team taking a moment to answer queries and help every once in a while.

Btw I'd like to see the source for those statistics, because I can hardly believe them. I myself actually buy the games, and sometimes gift copies to friends because it's a cause that deserves support.
