To "So what's left?"

All Bethesda games, i'll hope that sometime in the future they will change mind.

Yes! Should this hit Linux, it would be awesome!
I'm still a huge fan of the GRID1, though haven't seen anyone online for the past year or so... so I guess I need another one. :D

Incredible news, Codemaster racing games are strong franchise.

My favourite FPS multiplayer game *ever*. Hands down, even.

So needless to say, for me personally this is one giant milestone in the timeline of Linux gaming (assuming the client comes to Linux too, of course).

Is a 2d Game made with torque. Been on Linux for about a year.
So is this really just like "official support" or something?

This is still a game that is very shotty on many linux distro's. The community has begged for help on the steam forums but no reply.

Quoting: liamdaweTrouble is they never actually sold Linux versions just offered them as a download, so he was talking out of his ass.

Well, there was the whole retail Quake 3 debacle, and the fact that they evidently were not happy with the amount of Linux players on Quake Live. Neither of those are terribly good metrics, but it was not completely made up.

Granted, the whole stance of id on Linux now is simply a reflection of Zenimax's policy of not allowing unsupported binaries of their games, which is what actually sank the Linux port as that is how the id Tech 4 ports were handled. Carmark claimed that he could only lobby for either Source Code releases or Unsupported binaries, and in the end he decided (rightly) that Source Code releases were more important.

...of course with Carmack no longer at id they will probably just quietly drop that as well.

The latest id engine is probably capable of supporting Linux, but they chose not to port Rage as Carmack claimed Linux doesn't sell.

Trouble is they never actually sold Linux versions just offered them as a download, so he was talking out of his ass.

Quoting: loggfreakid tech doesn't support linux, they did untill id-tech 4, but id-tech 5 doesn't anymore(as far as i've seen no games have linux version on id-tech 5)

From what I can tell/understand id Tech 5 would be very very easy to port to Linux if need be. I don't think they can really use the engine as a reason not to support Linux.

I hope they will consider to port the Overlord series as well. I really liked those games. :)

Quoting: berarmaI've written in the Desura forum in hopes they take Desura customers more seriously. I shouldn't have bought it until completed.

The Desura version is really old due to Desura not supporting multiple branches of releases.

They are hoping to put the latest test up as stable on both Steam & Desura.

:D

Quoting: SabunThat would be great. Codemaster's racing games are next to impossible to get working in Wine. The closest success I've had is with the first GRID, and even then it just randomly crashes.

Maybe it wasn't specific to Wine. I've had random crashes on Windows as well.

Anyway, I'm definitely buying Project CARS as soon as it comes out on Linux.
I wonder if hype build around that game influenced people at Codemasters to consider Linux/SteamOS support.

Quoting: AnonymousAh, waiting for that one, sort of. I saw some teasers etc., and really liked it. But the game is currently Steam-only, so I couldn't try myself.

Well, that's actually not true. You can get the game DRM-free either on the game's website, on Desura, or on IndieGameStand.

QuoteIn terms of significant game engines that don't support Linux, there's the Blizzard one . . . and what else?

There are a few more I suppose. Would like to see the following game engines to be ported:
Frostbite, IW_Engine, RAGE, Anvil

Personally, I don't give a damn about lizard games.

I've setup a system with LTSP and virtualgl that works pretty well. Virtualgl will also run wine and integrates with turbovnc/tigervnc as well. Virtualgl doesn't do sound, but that's handled in ltsp with pulseaudio anyway. So now any pc that can boot from lan, runs linux without needing to install anything including 3d games. Off course you don't need LTSP, virtualgl will work on just about any linux and you'll only need enable networksound for pulseaudio to complete the experience.
