A great RPG (no matter what some people say) has gotten better.

Cossacks looks to be a lot more in line with Empire Earth or 0 A.D.

Quoting: CSharpIt's currently on -40% sale on Steam. Is it worth picking up like this? Also, if I were to pick it up - does Steam count it as a Windows sale? I'd hate to give the dev's the impression that their Windows version is selling when I just wanna sit on it until Linux is out. Or should I wait for Steam Summer Sale? Or should I pick it up somewhere else altogether?

Don't buy it until actually released for Linux. No Tux , no bucks

The usual rule applies to every game: Don't buy it until the Linux version is released.

Currently when you pick it it very likely would be counted a windows sale. I doubt the developer would mind, since it's a in-house port (money is theirs afterall), but if you care for the statistics you'd have to wait.

Thanks!
I have a reasonable frame rate, but severe dips from time to time...
Did you take a look at CPU (and GPU) usage?

I've been hanging out for this for like forever... Original Cossacks, and Napoleonic Wars were the only reason I had Wine a few desktops ago (Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04 and elementary freya and Ubuntu 15.10)... Best RTS ever! Wine recently broke a 16.04 install (dependency hell) so I gave up... To play this Natively would be a dream come true!

Ballistic Overkill updated as promised with Vulkan, but it's now completely broken (UPDATED with temp fix)

Well, there's an update for it but still broke on my end :(

It's not as simple as "just open it up". That can swarm and overwhelm developers.

Agree developers do not need 100 reports on same bug from 100 people at the same time.

Let's hope that all of these delays actually worth it.. It's a game that is indeed really close to the classic Age of Empires franchise, and I love this idea.. Release the game and let me feel young again (Age of Empires I was my first game on PC).

Seems a lot of people can, and a lot can't run it at the moment.
Darrn, I have time this evening and wanted to give it a try on my RX460 and GTX1050 graphics cards to see...

Fingers crossed I'm among the lucky ones. For the sniper bug - I usually play sniper, and since I'm bad at FPS games, it's a good thing they decided to help me :D.

I love these classic RTS games. Hopefully it has a good single-player campaign.

I will definitely get it as soon as it releases for Linux on GOG.

If it runs well and is a nice game to play I might still consider buying it. Will it have cross platform Multiplayer?

Quoting: lucinosI don't remember that. I for many years now remember the physical limit be considered around 5 nm (and it is getting there now as it seems).

Some more years ago (beginning of the century?), the wave length of the lithography was supposed to be the lower limit of the structure size...

Quoting: lucinosIn any case 1nm is very near the atomic scale.

Yeah, we're running into limits (and already did).
10 GHz was predicted as well back then...

I'm confused there're just so few comments! Awesome news! I'm only writing by now since I had no time to check out Gaming on Linux for a while. Gonna download Mesa 17.1 on Arch and try a bunch of Games. (:
