Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Cross-platform on Divinity 2 (PS4, PC and X-Box) ?

I believe a Nintendo Switch version is perfect when playing with friends, especially in the GM mode. it will be happier if we can play games like that face to face.

LOL! Good luck operating the GM mode on a switch. I think it would be impossible to do it efficiently even on a normal Xbox gamepad.

Just tried to play divinity original sin 2 with ps4 controller via USB on steam and doesn't seem to work. Obviously because the support for the controller will come later tonight with the release update?

~7 hours wait to go

Correct.
The controller support tag is shown on the store page due to the relevant setting (which Steam uses to generate tags) being enabled in order to set up and test controller support and the controller configuration.

Whatever Larian used to build the Linux port for Divinity Original Sin, it works great.



You have to manage (and pay for) a complete additional operating system. The update process alone is a torture. I also need my Linux system online, also when playing in between.



I think Larian has already done a lot of this work, because they have ported the first part.



It's a matter of opinion. If it doesn't appear for Linux, I'll buy it for my PS4 as soon as it appears. I would rather play it on my Linux-PC. I'd buy more than one copy for Linux. Divinity Original Sin I often gave away. Co-op is big fun.

But let's see. I think Larian is very busy right now. Linux is only a small ecosystem with few users. If it's ported, it certainly won't be this year. I can wait.

I trierd the GM mode but found it only support keyboard. I wonder weather the console version will have this mode or they will somehow add controller support in the future.
Actually we still don't know when there will be a console version or weather there will be a switch version. But I believe touch screen/motion control on switch is more convenient than normal controller in building dungeons.

The Game Master mode needs some serious work. I'd like to see the roadmap on expansion plans for this as it is barely usable in its current form.

Can't see GM mode working on a console without using a keyboard.

Well, I praise Larian to the skies for developing and releasing D:OS2 as a PC game. If anything has to be compromised for consoles, the "port" will go the other way this time, and us PC gamers will have a A-list title with the controls and mod-ability of a made-for-PC game. Not to mention the possibilities with the Game Master mode. Those great old Infinity-engine RPG's are STILL being played for a reason. Larian gets it. Thank the gods!
