Spafbi Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 With the SteamOS beta available, and a general release just around the proverbial corner, I am hoping DE will consider a native Linux client. I sure do hate having to fire up Windows just to play my favorite game. -Spafbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spafbi Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 And while I have successfully run Warframe in Wine, it's just not as nice as a native implementation. -Spafbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angius Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) It would require re-writing the whole game from scratch. Linux bases on completely different API than DirectX. Maybe one day, in future, after U457 when all of the bugs will be fixed and all of the gear will be balanced. Tyhere are different priorities now, than porting the game to another platform.

at35z Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Agree. This has been posted several times (even by me), I'm really hoping for it, since this game is the only reason I keep using this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
