Quoting: chuzzle44"it is not as easy as clicking a button"

Well pardon my French, but no shit, really? I seriously question the intelligence of a developer that would think it was that simple.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but with how rampant this line of thinking seems to be, I'm starting to wonder if most of these developers know what the hell they are doing. Has game development become so dumbed down that any idiot can throw together a game? We've certainly heard this line a few to many times.

The worst part is that I have actually seen quite a few incompetent fools bring their "games" to Linux. It takes a special kind of stupid to completely back yourself into a corner, knowing from the beginning that you shouldn't.

I would like to apologize for my rant of a comment, but I can't be the only one who's frustrated by this.

First the article mention the tweeter as a developer but in the tweets he clearly states not being a programmer.

In my experience is code departments are typically pressured into feature deadlines. So when they are doing overtime already even those interested in ensuring a Linux version works have no energy left to do that. An production people usually have no interested in an OS which doesn't generate much money compared to having a new feature which is supposed to make the game much better (which then drives more sales).
My point is, rarely are the developers/coders themselves to blame. If any they are pushing for it out of interest.

Quoting: babai

Quoting: michaUnfortunately, DotA2 crashes my whole system if using the -vulkan switch since I updated after running for 30sec or so..

For me dota 2 crashes with the Intel vulkan driver with the vulkan launch option. I turned off the steam overlay and the game doesn't crash anymore.

Ah thanks, forget that I recently moved back to the stable Steam client after being on beta version for some time. So it might not have anything to do with the nvidia driver update afterall..

Will be an instant buy if/once available for SteamOS/Linux!

I bought it in the Humble Store very early during development since it also comes DRM free and it included a future Steam key. I hope it got tracked as a Linux sale.
