So I wanted to test the linux version. It works as intented but playing with MESA drivers (open source drivers) it causes some interesting issues. I just want to give tips on what NOT to do. Important: I KNOW THE LINUX VERSON IS NOT SUPPORTED ANYMORE.
- It seems that Steam doesn't like the spacebar on naming maps/folders even if you do write " \" thing after the space bar to indicate it's a valid spacebar.
- Try to build up the community, the Linux community there is always guys that solves this for you. Having a dedicated person or people that can solve bugs or problems for you is a nice idea, by this I mean that people always find path/writing/coding errors that can be corrected
- Build a efficient sub-linux section for people that like to "reverse-engineer" the code to make it work. This is really a half assed way to let the people to fix the things themselves but it also tells the people that Larian support Linux community in a more gradual way. And if you have one guy in the community (from the company) that works on his "free" time at least Linux support is somewhat there.
To build a sucessful sub-linux section, you don't need forums but a list of current, fixed, found, invalid, not tested bugs. This will make the search for a particular bug to be found easier on both ends.
It's just my idea, doesn't have to be sound or even placed. I just want more people to play this game and to experience the wonderful work Larian Studios has put on this Remaster of a game.
