WAUZZZI 9 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Is there any word from the devs on Linux support? The game looks extremely promising and I'd pre-order it if Linux support was confirmed. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiddenBullet 69 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Especially if it used Vulkan API 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bradykatler 13 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 My guess is that if they are going to release it on Mac, they will probably release it on linux 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nyctea 619 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 In theory, the engine crossplatform support makes it easier for us to port the game, and we're seriously considering the possibility of the Linux version; however, it is still pretty much under discussion and, I suppose, the decision will be influenced by the complexity of the final or near-final product, so it's too early to assume anything. Just one thing I'm sure of - there are no secret Linux-haters at work here =). 1 1 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteamOS by extension, Linux in general needs a rockin game that would make people want to switch. I bet they would even help with porting the Linux version to use Vulkan since you can feed Vulkan damn near any API code. But since Unity is supposed to support Linux OOTB,it shouldnt be an issue. Ideally the linux version would make use of the GPUOpen platform too but that is most likely wishful thinking. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks and keep up the good work! Pretty much the same This game looks amazing and I would really like to play it. Let's be honest here .. It doesn't take much to convince me to get this game other than it having a Linux support and if you'd tell me it's going to be using Vulkan straight off the bat... that's it!! I'm drooling everywhere .. where do I sign? So what's the latest news on Linux support and what graphics driver will it be using? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drakkaar 525 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Haven't heard much in the way of Linux support. As for Vulkan support, I also do not know the exact answer. However, based on the information we have, Escape from Tarkov is being developed in Unity5. Looking at Unity's Roadmap, it looks like they are researching it for development on their engine but do not have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HiddenBullet 69 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 If Linux and SteamOS, you will NEED to use Vulkan unless you plan to dick over the Linux community as DX is not Linux compat and most ports are shiet. Valve ports are pretty much baller and they use Vulkan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only Experimental part of Unity for Linux is The editor being native on Linux. In other words, Unity for Linux is the entire suite running natively in Linux. Instead of the Dev team just releasing the Linux binaries for the game while developing it on Windows, Unity for Linux allows the devs to drop the Windows development platform altogether if they wish to develop the game for multiple platforms. What I mean is that instead of the devs do all the coding on Windows, they can now do all the coding on Linux. They would still be able to release for any platform supported by Unity. I am going to list several of the games for Unity released on Linux over the years (yes I mean YEARS). Rochard Guns of Icarus Online 7 Days to Die Interstellar Marines Rust Kerbal Space Program Cities Skylines Firewatch Superhot Sword Coast Legends P.a.m.e.l.a (Unity 5) Prey For The Gods (Unity 5) System Shock Remake (2018) Stranded Deep Verdun The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey The Long Dark Dungeons 2 Republique (Linux support in the works) Pillars of Eternity Dex 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
