Linux ? The FAQ says yes, but i can only DL Windows version

[mortal Offline]

Hello,

I may have misread something. I bought the game after lurking for months, the Baron pack. I got my email and my key, activated the key on the website, and there, i can only see a link to get the client for Windows, not for Linux nor Mac.

Where is the Linux client ? What did i miss ?

Only Windows client at the moment. We are working on a Linux client, it will be later.

Aaah…. .

What is later ? A few days, weeks, months ?

I guess i have to wait into the shadow a bit longer.

Thanks for the support anyway, i only hope you won’t delay it for some reason (i mean post-release), nor cancel.

[pgf developer Offline]

I think it may take about a month or two.

Is it still true ? Can we expect Linux client in less than one month from now ?

We have a client for Linux, although it still has some nasty bugs. The main problem now is how to deliver updates for game client on Linux systems. We are trying to solve it.

I hope you can fix the problems fast I want to give money on that game and an nice looking mmorpg for linux

i had hoped this would have been sorted by now although i understand these things take time to fix and put in place i am a bit disappointed that i won’t be able to try this game out before the Nintendo Switch comes out on Friday. Shame really my PC is busted and my laptop is mac so can’t run it i guess i will have to come back when i Finnish breath of the wild

I paid for the game when i read about Linux support. I can wait, but i would feel better of course to have a playable client already.

I have buyed the game now some days ago. I hope the Linux client will come fast then i will spend money again on this game.

  Hello, What are the news about this, one month later ? Any good ? Me and myself are still very keen on play/test this probably awesome game (and i paid for it when it was advertized with Linux support).

[mortal Offline]

I see… Which version I will need to buy to have playable linux client when it will be released?

[mortal Offline]

maybe you need Linux testers?

[mortal Offline]

No one more monath over and no new news about linux client status

[pgf developer Offline]

We will soon be moving to the new version of the engine. Want to try to use Vulkan API. Perhaps this will solve some problems.

The main problem is the delivery of updates for Linux client. It’s a bit more complicated than on Windows, because our current patcher was created for this platform.

Could you not maybe release for every new linux version an complete “zip” package or something? Yeah Unity 5.6 have Vulkan support

 

THX for the update info

[pgf developer Offline]

Well, you’ll have to download 500+ Mb files every time. It is not very convenient.

For me thats no an real problem 200 mbits I-Net here

But i understand what you want to say

[mortal Offline]

It won’t be a problem for me neither to DL each time, and if we are some people to do so, you could perform some preleminary tests, maybe.

And for example when User want new UT4 Linux version they must always download the complete game and its about 10GB.

Hmm… I didn’t know that. Well, perhaps we should do the same.

it may not be convenient but i think you should still test it with players on. while you work on the update issue you could stress test the linux server with a game thats not updatable. yes its not ideal but wouldn’t this save time in the long run? we could point out any bugs while your sorting the updating system out.

what do i know
