Quoting: KDGNORit run good but what spec do you have :-/

why no info on what hardware you have...

At that time, it was a NVidia GTX650 with I7-2600 and 16bg DDR3-1333.

What I meant it's that I've seen games loosing much more in term of performances because of Wine, with the same rig.

I understand, it was just a suggestion.

FYI this game is no more in early access. It's been officially released a couple of weeks ago and I think, but I may be wrong, that they added a solo campaign of some sort.

Edit:

"Epic Single-Player - Galactic War is a twist on traditional real-time strategy campaigns that has players battling across a dynamic galaxy filled with procedurally-generated content. Every playthrough is different. Annihilation is final."

Found that on Steam.

Great!
Last time I tried, it didn't work... Not supported.
Going to try it when i'm home.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Used to play it through wine and it worked well at the time. I got little doubts about the quality of the port.

I'm a big fan of World of Tanks but it's not available on Linux so I switched to WarThunder. Anyone knows when the Steam Launcher for Linux will show up?

The problem is that game development on Linux is a work in progress and Valve has given it a new momentum. Still, there's a lot of work to do and some of us hope to have performances on par with Windows.

We should keep in mind that DX has a 15 years lead of development on us.

I'm very confident that things are going to get better over time but in the meanwhile I understand why some of us are disapointed.

Maybe we should see the state of gaming on linux like a big beta and we are contributing to make it better?

RTS... What about Planetary Annihilation?

Quoting: MohandevirShould have re-read myself.

No worries ;)… What I meant is: there is not a single (good, native, not top-down) racing game on Linux. Very few (playable, fun) solo FPS’s. The only western 3D action RPG is pathetic and unplayable. Very few and no good (Starcraft-quality) RTS.

Yeah racing is what's really missing right now. Hey?! What about Super Tux Cart? :)

Seriously I found this website about racing games on linux. Anyone tried some of these?

Looking forward to Grid2 and Project Cars.

Edit:

In fact, I don't look to what's out on Windows. I just play the games that are offered to me on Linux and I'm quite happy with what's being offered.

I have 41 games, that I have played, in my librairie and 44 more in my Wishlist that I want to play.

Ive had a lot of fun playing The Witcher 2 and look forward to The Witcher 3. Right now, I really enjoy XCom: Ennemy Unknown. Played through Metro Last Light and the Half Life series and enjoyed them. And today, I got this news about Pillars of Eternity and Chivalry Medieval Warfare and these are 2 games that I will enjoy too. What else? Sanctum 2 and Natural Selection 2 that I had fun with. I also keep an eye on Interstellar Marines and Wasteland 2 and I hope to see Homefront 2 and Metro 2033 appear in the Steam store in a near future.

Forgot to mention Portal and Portal II.

Oh! War Thunder.

Not a bad lineup, IMO...

Quoting: MohandevirThis is what's great in the gaming offerings... There's plenty of choices for all kind of players. And now, we have that many choices even on Linux!

Unfortunately that’s just not true.

Sorry you are right. The way I wrote it, it's like if we had the same choices than on other platforms and it's not true and it's not what I meant either. Should have re-read myself.

What I meant it's that with 786 games on Steam only... we are beginning to have an interresting offering. Could have more AAA titles (I hope it's a matter of time)but in comparison with the situation 3 years ago, when we could barely play on Linux whithout wine, It's much better now.

Fallout 3 looks great but it's absolutely not in the same category.

Pillars of Eternity is the evolution of games like Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale.

Of all my experiences as a gamer, this is the kind of stuff that gets me dependent. You'll need a crowbar to get me off my pc screen! Probably because, in my youth, I was an AD&D Second Edition hardcore player (just gave you a hint about my age). :)

This is the game I am waiting for since early 2013. But I will not pre-order.
I'll wait for the official release and, maybe with a little luck, it will come with a Steam sale discount.

What I like it's the fact that they never had any doubts about the Linux version. They never played with that aspect and announced it early in the development.

It's my kind of game and it looks awesome!
