Ready your swords and your axe as Total War: WARHAMMER II is heading to Linux this month and Feral Interactive have now put up the system requirements.
Here's what you're going to need at a minimum:
- OS: Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit
- CPU: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i3-4130 processor
- RAM: 6GB
- GPU: 2GB Nvidia GTX 680 or 2GB AMD R9 285 (GCN 3rd Generation)
For the recommended specs, you will want:
- CPU: 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4770
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU: 4GB Nvidia GTX 970 or 4GB AMD RX 480 graphics card or better.
As a reminder, it's going to use Vulkan and so you're going to need up to date drivers. Feral have tested it on NVIDIA with the 396.54 driver and on AMD they require Mesa 18.1.5.
You will be able to grab it from Humble Store, Feral Store and Steam.
Feral have done some really good stuff for Linux gamers over the past few years, so hopefully they will continue giving us some top quality games. We also still have Life is Strange 2 and Total War: THREE KINGDOMS to come after but nothing else has been announced yet.
We should hopefully have a review up on it a little while after release.
Hopefully they will release it soon! Thank you Feral! <3
They'd be better off doing something with a wider appeal.

Feral, there are more Brands than Intel who build good CPUs!
Quoting: EgonautFeral still only supporting Intel CPUs, guess I can't play the game then ...Wow , do you seriously think that game won't work on AMD?

RECOMMENDED:
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4570 3.20GHz
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4GB | AMD Radeon R9 290X 4GB @1080p
but can't really blame Feral.
I have been testing and it really seems that my old i5-3570k+770+8GB+WIN10 kicks my i5-4690k+970+8GB+Arch ass what comes to performance.
Quoting: GuestAnyway, I don't meet the CPU specs for this game, officially, but I think the high core count might end up carrying me through.
From what I could tell the i3-4130 was about 50-60% faster in single threaded apps but the 1055T was 25% faster in multi threaded apps. If the game uses 4 or more CPU cores you should be ok.

All these requirements mean is they didn't test on any AMD CPUs. If you truly believe that the game won't work on AMD CPUs then you don't understand PC gaming or PC hardware. I for one can say every Feral port I own has worked on various AMD CPUs.

Quoting: dorronAs much as i love Feral and their great work porting games to Linux...they are doing too many games like this one.
They'd be better off doing something with a wider appeal.
its one of the most played game on steam, that dont have a linux port, or is gta5, pubg, etc
tomb raider will have a linux port i guess. not even 3000 players in the past 24h

i also wish they would port yakuza, or elex, or sniper elite, but they have to make money
and then there is proton. could be, that they dont make much money with life is strange 2, cause some play it with steamplay NOW!
See more from me
