I've heard great things about Squad - people with actual stories of their experiences, as if it were somehow "real". Most of that is because of the in-game voice audio, which is, I believe, positional, such that members further away from you may/may not hear you, depending on how far away you are from them (and fall back to radio in such instances).

Excited to hear that it's a possibility for Linux, but I imagine they'll be facing some big challenges based on the amount of content in this game! Fingers crossed. Would love to buy/play this one - I've been looking for a proper squad-based shooter since I stopped playing Planetside 2 back in 2013.

36 hours to complete the whole campaign with non-lethal force. Loved it. What a game.

Quoting: TheRiddickI don't think you understand what I was trying to say. So nevermind. Through one ear out the other...

Sounds like Neffo got exactly what you were trying to say. I think it was "Steam ignore certain O/S types, such as Wine". And he addressed it by stating that why would they record it, specifically, if they were going to throw it away?

I guess that reply went in one ear and out the other?

Are there PvE only servers, or is PvP baked into the entire experience. If so, not for me, I'm afraid. Happy to play MMOs, but only in co-op.

I'm buying this one. Absolutely lovely.

QuotePerformance is not wonderful but it's acceptable for what it is.

Ugh. I don't care much about FPS, 30+ and I'm OK. But this game ... 5-20FPS in most areas is not something I'd call acceptable. And thats in addition to all the sometimes game-breaking graphics glitches that haven't been fixed in forever for the OGL renderer, the noticably inferior graphics and the game breaking input bug if you happen to not have a US keyboard.

What hardware do you have? <snip>

I ticked the box for sandboxing, now the client won't start. And since it doesn't start, I can't untick the option. I guess that feature isn't ready yet (although, if that's actually true, then why include it in the gui?).

Anyone know where the client keeps its config? Time for a wipe.

Quoting: ShmerlHm. Another one of those weird "no Linux version on GOG" cases? What's wrong with it this time? I start suspecting it's some incorrect reliance on Steam that's causing it.

Also strange that Blades of the Shogun is on there, but the demo isn't?? Just seems arbitrary sometimes.

I bought my first (and now my last) product from Roccat because of this guy. Won't touch Roccat again unless they have Linux support. Shame too, as their products are great. Well, barring their Kone XTD mouse which has a big issue with the mouse wheel failing (mine was dead OOTB). But the Kova replacement is excellent and my Ryos keyboard is both mechanical, customisable and pretty to look at.

I guess it's Razr from here on in? Although they rely on community drivers too, right?

Quoting: pbI actually bought it on steam, proud to be part of the stats. ;-)

But I have a question. I will probably buy Shadow Tactics from a retail store, as it comes with some collectibles. Since it's an in-house multi-platform release, the money will go the right way, but will they know to count it as a Linux purchase? How does it "work" when companies release multi-platform - do they count "Linux sales" (as reported by stores) or "Linux players" (on Steam) / "Linux downloads" (on GOG) to know the numbers?

Presumably they can track the key they sold you to platform stats on Steam? I'm not sure though. Great question. Is it, ironically, a stronger message to buy something on steam, than it is to buy from the developers own store (porters notwithstanding, of course, since they know that their sales are because the game doesn't exist out with their efforts).

I think it will come down to the developer's own curiosity.
