I don't hold my breath. Everything Valve has released, in the last 7 years, is nothing I actually play or enjoy. I'm not saying that Valve did everything wrong or so, but they completely are running in a direction for many years I can't follow.

I don't expect Valve to know how to do a good game, which can get my attraction, anymore. I will be glad to be proven wrong, but till then I have a big D on my forehead which stands for "doubt".

Quoting: kfWell, He's a Brit.

So because someone is from Britain, he's allowed to insult others? Interesting..

Grow up.

Quoting: nox

Quoting: EgonautThat's why you don't support that toxic guy Garry and everyone who's working with him.

Meh, he is straight forward, blunt and sarcastic. Toxic isn't really the right word.

Calling Linux (and by that their users) a second class isn't toxic? Yeah sure, defend that guy further if you want, I don't.

Quoting: LeopardIf that means revisiting old titles that needs performance upgrade, they're very welcome.

Especially on Company of Heroes 2, because that runs terrible even on high end hardware.

Quoting: liamdawePlus, it wouldn't even be the first cryengine game on Linux.

Really, what are the other games? Don't say SNOW, that is not available and never ran anything like good when it was in alpha (before Linux support was removed).

I love DRM free games! Nice move from GOG and good to see they taking care of supporting games on newer Ubuntu releases.

I agree, the quick time events are terrible and were already annoying in Tomb Raider (2013). I don't have a problem with them to solve after a few tries, but I still hate them. The dodging isn't that hard to me, I think you just need a little bit practise. Beside this the game is great, fun and looks gorgeous.

The performance for me is slightly slower compared to Windows, but still good. The main difference is, that I was able to run the game maxed out with SSAO 2x at stable 60FPS on Windows. On the Linux port the FPS are dropping below 60FPS with the same settings, which is a little bit sad, since there is a lot of flicker without SSAO everywhere (trees, bushes, etc.) and neither FXAA nor SMAA can fix that.

Later in the game there will be pretty big areas which are the most demanding places in the game, will be interesting to see how the port performance is there. But I'm many hours of playtime away of those areas :)

Quoting: liamdaweSorry, missed this bit from the email they sent: "Requires an SSE2 capable processor.".

Do they really mean SSE2 and not SSE4? Because SSE2 is on a decade old CPUs while SSE4 just arrived on AMD with bulldozer CPUs.

You mean like with the Linux Kernel, which also only accepts C Code? ;)
