Works fine for me, running in high settings (haven't tried ultra and don't really care) on a four-year-old system using a current mid-range graphics card. Had one crash that wasn't repeated when I replayed the same area, that's it.

I don't give a damn if it's a native port or a wrapper or whatever, so long as it works and as far as I can see it works. So I'm perfectly happy with it. To be honest, I've had a lot more problems getting stuff like Secrets of Raetikon or even Kentucky Route Zero to run well under Linux than this game.

Indeed. I've been subscribed the github repo for a while now, and instead of calming down, as you would expect in the lead up to a big release, it seems to be accelerating!

Just look at the commits graph from March onwards: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/graphs/commit-activity

I was rather suprised how well it worked on my system.
i don't have a really powerfull system atm so I suspected that I would have real problems running it even in the lowest setting.
I could just be lucky though. :D

Guys, a moderator on the CDPR forum posted the link to this page:

How to contact Tech Support

I thought I should pass it along. They have instructions for Linux users on there.

I don't own either game but I would much rather pay full price for these games than buy them at 80% off and get a crappy, crappy port like with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Quoting: SabunIf they do end up releasing a port, and it's well done (actually professional, and not a money grab), they may have my respect and money then. Time will tell though.

I'm really only likely to buy it once it's on sale now though (that feeling of brand new is gone since they took so long).

I don't care whether it's a brand new game or not as long as it makes its way to Linux in a native state and works like it should. I would much rather pay full price for The Witcher 2 than have a 4$ discount and a crappy, crappy port. As the fiasco with The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings indicates, I would much rather pay full price than buy it at 80% off and get a crappy, crappy port.

Also if you have the game or something (looks like they'll stick to new games only) it also makes the perfect gift :)

Also interesting is that since the last 0.9 version the modding community has been rolling fast with new aliens, weapons and campaigns.

If you want to to take a peek here are a few relevant links:

• Open XCOM Mods new website beta


• Open XCOM Mods old website (Luke83)


• Forum - Completed Mods


• Forum - Modding Experiments

So even if they're really near to version 1.0 it will hardly stop there :)

Quoting: liamdaweI would have if I felt it was needed, but it's just an RTS game with quite basic mechanics too. You build buildings, then units, then fight.

Of course you didn't feel the need, you know the game :P
(I admit I haven't followed the game so I didn't even know it's a RTS with basic mechanics)

QuoteThe original X-COM game UFO: Enemy Unknown/X-COM UFO Defense is one of the best strategy games ever made.

Can't agree more! :)
...but it's hard to not notice that it is a 20 years old game.

wait... so the tabletop displaying the the formation/tactics/whatever is in 2D? What kind of space battle stays in 2D? Have these guys never read Ender's game?

FYI it´s a bit cheaper on Humble bundle store then on Steam though. At least in Euros.

May I suggest to park the mouse pointer on items with tooltips more often in the gameplay video or/and to to add captions to explain what is happening in the game? Considering that there is no commentary I gave up looking at the video after few minutes since I had no idea what you where doing. Thanks!

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyYeah.....this is one of the few games that I didn't want on Linux at all.

What's your issue with it?

My guess is he means that he will spend a lot of time playing it (?).

Had no more crash problems on Metro since nvidia 33x series... did an entire playthrough on Ranger mode, seems like I'm lucky.
I first finished the game with the crashes at the time, though.

Quoting: Anonymous

Quoting: Metallinatus

Quoting: mannyweird no mac version for 2033 redux, only linux/steamOS / windows :D

Because SteamOS is not based on Mac, that's why.

I've noticed the CPU and RAM requirements for Windows & Linux are the same, but the required graphics cards are different. What can we infer from that in regards to it being a truely native port?

It should be native. The point of the graphics cards is that nvidia and amd won't support their older cards with better drivers on Linux. So older graphics cards will run better in Windows unfortunately. On the other hand they had to start somewhere right?

I preordered the bundle btw :>
I hope the games wont crash as much as the Metro LL Linux port :/

ordered 6 months when i saw it on reddit because it looks awesome

postage to Australia doubled the price and im still waiting for mays one(hopefully this week coming up! has to be close) its costly and quite a gamble with the products being a surprise and i wish they would include steam keys(from what i hear they are looking into that?) but it looks like its a nice product and aslong as they continue to support linux i really don't mind paying up

Quoting: Wrapper

Quoting: AnonymousI am happy with the port :).

Good for you! But it's not a port. It's just a wrap :)

I dont care. It is running fine and supported. Of course i expect, that they are fixing reported issues, so that everyone can enjoy this game.

Quoting: SilviuSomehow I find that very, very unlikely...

He even posted the same comment on the Steam forums, copy&paste:

Post #309

What you find very unlikely it's not my problem, i post my experience, that's all, and i see i'm not alone with good experience so far.
I have also done a video of the game where you'll can view how well it runs.

Guys, chill out. We are seeing results ranging from complete unplayability to decent performance and we have no idea why, but playing the blame game isn't going to do any of us any good. Please refrain from insulting others.
