However, that doesn't mean others, namely TWI in this case, agree. As of now, there's little doubt in my mind that, aside from *eventually* meeting a promise they made years ago, there's little incentive in their eyes to carry out said promise to release a Linux port.ĭo I think it's worth it? Sure, but I'm also very biased in my opinion. The only way a port would be a priority is if TWI felt it would be worth the effort. The reason they might not want to spend as much as they want is because porting may cost more than the engineer would be worth as far as they're concerned. They could afford anyone they want.if it was an actual priority. Game has made millions for TWI on PC and PS.and now on XBone It's not so much finding an engineer, but finding one who also wants to work on the project and for a price that Tripwire can afford. If that changes, we will be happy to re-open development of a Linux client, but until that point it is on hold.Īrbitrary007 eredeti hozzászólása:When Tripwire first mentioned the issue, they indicated that platform engineers were rare. So far the third parties we have talked to either do not want to undertake the creation of a new OpenGL rendering pipeline from the ground up (due to time and effort involved) or have quoted a price that makes it beyond consideration (the cost versus estimated return math does not come even close to making sense based on previous Killing Floor 1 Linux sales when charted against Killing Floor 2). This in turn means many of the 'turn key' Unreal porting solutions that existed do not apply to Killing Floor 2, as they all assume that the game is using the default Unreal 3 rendering pipeline. During Killing Floor 2's development a choice was made to rewrite the DirectX rendering system. The major bottleneck has been getting the rendering system up and running (the key part of the client) as the engine now works on platform (the server is the engine minus a client and loading assets it doesn't need to render/trigger). While progress was made towards getting the game client to run on the platform, we have been unable to find a person or persons to finish the work needed to make a client.

Currently all progress on a Linux Client is indefinitely on hold.
