Batman: Arkham Knight Will Be Available On Linux And SteamOS In Spring 2016

Quoting: maodzedunOh, please - you're just a hating fanboy. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Windows. The game runs like sh*t. Feel free to check out the Steam sub-forum. The Witcher III and Battlefield 4 run at 1440p with less than 8GB of RAM but the "amazing" Batman needs 12GB of RAM for 1080p. If you bothered to actually check things before you made absurd statements you'd know that Arkham City has sub par performance to this day and Origins is plain broken with WB refusing to fix it because there was no "Steam Refund" policy at the time of its release. Feel free to recall this come spring 2016 when Arkham Knight hits Linux and it runs like absolute a**.

Wow, simmer down there salty Joe. Could care less what you just said after "hating fanboy". I have no clue what that even means. I will say this though, I love Batman. Did I ever buy a game from who you are talking about? Nope. So now I'm obligated to care about that company? Why? Hell, why should I give a shit about Battlefield 4? I never touch EA games to begin with. Sounds to me it's your own personal problem, and I don't have to be an obsessive diehard gamer to see that.

Windows 10 is going to take more RAM (every Windows does, for whatever new "feature" they want to add). Whether it takes 12 GB or 8 GB, doesn't make that statement wrong. Sorry you're offended by the Windows 10 Skynet comment. Get some more new RAM or hardware if you thought a "free" upgrade was totally worth the sanity check to feed your corporate overlords.

Of course I'm going to invest in this game when it comes to Linux. It's a completely different porting company doing it (with an approval rating from me so far).

How is you not being a hardcore gamer or not purchasing EA in any way related to the performance of games in Windows. If anything it shows you don't really know what you're talking about. Which btw is clear because for all it's shortcomings (mostly security related) if Windows 10 can be praised for something it is solid gaming experienced. Claiming that a 50% increase in RAM usage of a proven bad port is somehow the OS' problem is a fundamentally flawed statement when compered to the mountain of evidence (i.e. other games) that says otherwise.
I realize I may have chosen the wrong tone in my previous post and I apologize for that, but I stand firmly behind my statement - you clearly do not know what you're talking about.

This is "GamingOnLinux". If you are a Windows user here to defend Windows....I'm sure you have something else better to do with your time...maybe?

Quoting: maodzedunHow is you not being a hardcore gamer or not purchasing EA in any way related to the performance of games in Windows.

I didn't make it a relevant statement to start with, you required it to be the butt of the conversation. I made an observation, you attacked me.

Again, you're trying to make me acquire some sort of gamer "credentials" for Windows Land. I don't have to do business with EA or RockSteady for this subject. I can still test cross-platform games and software to get an informed opinion on Windows 10 "gaming". It blows, chunks, from my experience. However, my original claim wasn't to be an informative opinion. It was just a blanket OPINION and how Microsoft further ceases to amaze me how they can fuck up their own OS, on an ethical level (read the damn public private policy yourself) and a technical level.

What are you trying to get out of me? To be specific on how terrible it is (I mean I can if you want me to, but you derailed this topic so hard enough)? Or that I'm suppose to be "mad" about RockSteady's port? Fuck man, I don't know how many times I have to say this but, THEY AREN'T DOING THE LINUX PORT.

Now THAT is what is irrelevant.

Even if I didn't SIN to test out the horrors of Windows 10 (which sadly I did and barfed all over it), I can still tell you from all the information I gather on it in the public eye, that it's a piece of shit. All you are doing, is saying "You have no right to an opinion because you're not a gaming elitist like I am". You can go piss off with that nonsense.

QuoteFor Windows 10 users, we’ve found that having at least 12GB of system RAM on a PC allows the game to operate without paging and provides a smoother gameplay experience.

People are whining about this

I honestly don't get this attitude, especially given that adding 8GB RAM to a system costs less than this game to begin with. ;-) When building my Steambox I bought only 8GB because at the time there was not a single game that would actually benefit from more RAM. But I left one slot free for another 8GB in the future, because that's how computing works and has always worked. Especially so with Windows - as far back as I remember, every new Windows release has always meant huge boost of sales of memory expansions. ;-)

Adding 8GB might be an option for you. What if your RAM banks are already full? Or your motherboard provides only one bank? Or two banks filled with 2GB modules? Then you would have to rip out your already installed memory and get 16GB modules.

Quoting: maodzedunI hope they port the previous games as well - Arkham City is effing amazing.

Which makes me wonder why they (Feral and Aspyr haven't ported their Mac catalog over?

Though, I'm not complaining. They're doing pretty well as is with newer titles.

Porting their Mac catalogue to Linux would require refreshing (extending to Linux) the deal with the original publisher and putting some extra work into it. My guess is that releasing a new game for both Mac and Linux is usually just more profitable than doing it for Linux only. And they have limited recources considered Steam Machines being around the corner etc.

I wonder whether this game will support AMD on Linux. I mean, it runs on both consoles...

Quoting: MaelraneI wonder whether this game will support AMD on Linux. I mean, it runs on both consoles...

It doesn't run on OpenGL or AMD's Linux drivers on consoles. The lack of AMD support in Feral's ports isn't due to AMD's hardware being insufficient in any way. It's all about the software.

Like I said - I apologize. I absolutely attacked you for no reason. I was probably pissed about something and whatever and stepped out of the area of good tone.
Anyway, I completely reject your position so I propose we agree to disagree.

If you must know am dual booting. Not that I have to defend myself on an open forum. Unless Liam bans all pro-Windows comments I can express my opinion freely. I believe that as somebody who does most of his gaming on Windows I can bring an unique perspective to the community. But you know what they say about opinions, so - cheers.

Interesting, as many have no problem with AMD, so I blame Feral and the FUD.

For example: CoH2: AMD not supported, runs like a charm on my old HD6950 with Mesa. I think they simply do not care at all. I guess they think the margin isn't worth the extra effort.
