Hi everyone, we'd like to get your help in testing Chivalry for Linux and Mac OS X.
Everyone who owns Chivalry should now have access to the Linux and OS X versions. Currently you will need to switch to a Beta branch to access this, the "linuxtesting" branch (for both OS X and Linux).
To access the port testing beta from the Desktop Steam client, right-click on Chivalry in the library, click Properties, click on the BETAS tab, and choose linuxtesting from the drop-down.
From Big Picture, open up Chivalry's page in the Library, move left to "Links & More", and down to "Select Beta..."; open this, choose "Ports testing (Linux+Mac)" from the drop-down, and choose OK.
If you can't see the branch, you may need to restart Steam first.
The Linux and Mac OS X builds should run without any additional dependencies required so long as you have Steam installed. Steam should include all the necessary libraries.
Performance on Linux should be roughly what it is on Windows for the same hardware, with potentially up to a 10% difference or so. OS X should be similar. Performance differences are going to come from differences between UE's renderers, and between OpenGL drivers.
We don't have much in the way of Mac hardware, so any performance reports we can get would be helpful, especially if you can compare performance to the game running natively in Windows, but even if not. Comparisons on Linux would also be really helpful.
Please post any bug reports, performance reports, or other feedback to:

An idiots guide to setting up Minecraft on Steam Deck / SteamOS with controller support
How to install extra software, apps and games on SteamOS and Steam Deck
Modified the Steam app configuration a bit, it should work now. It may take a few minutes for Steam's servers' cache to update, and you may have to restart the client as well. If it still doesn't work, can you pastebin Steam's logs, or at least any relevant ones? Thanks!
Very good day.
I would ask the same. If we buy and install only the beta/test-build, will it count as Linux or Windows sale?
I suppose that if you play the beta version of the game then the "most hours after 7 days" will come to play.... can't be sure, though.
I've been waiting this game for quite some time, can't wait to- wa-wait a second, what about the Deadliest Warrior DLC? I can't play the game without it
linux depot has a lot less subs attached: https://steamdb.info/depot/241281/subs/
than windows depot: https://steamdb.info/depot/241280/subs/
reported already on their forums as well..lets hope for the best
edit: ok they fixed it fast after reporting... its downloading now :)
I think steam registers which platform you play the game on most, as the one that counts.
performance i think is pretty good for a old GPU like 660Ti

But does it properly register a platform that is not officially supported? I know there are rumors of Linux sales showing up for games that don't have Linux versions simply because someone bought the game on Linux, but I couldn't find anything to actually confirm those rumors.
