Linux Request sign up sheet

With the Vulkan work coming to an end, we are considering the port to Linux.



If you are interested in a Linux version, please sign here.



Update: 9/29/2019:

Ok we have it ported now. So good news and bad news. We have it running Debian and we presume it'll work on others. But the bad news is that the performance is just not acceptable. This is mainly due to the game being developed prior to Vulkan. It's all doable to fix but we don't have the budget to make those kinds of changes for one platform.



The difference based on the video card set up is pretty drastic too (not blaming any video card drivers here but the variance is pretty huge and would result in some unhappy people).



The good news is that Ashes II (and our other new titles) should, in theory, ship with Linux support off the bat thanks to this effort.



Those of you who are familiar with Stardock know we came from the OS/2 world back in the day so we are very much motivated to make our games work on Linux too. Just a matter of having enough resources to do it.



Thank you for your support on this. The sign up sheet helped us push through getting budget to do the initial port which should have benefits long-term for all our games not being so tied to Windows in the future.





Update: 12/28/2018:



We now have the core engine compiling under Debian Linux and running via Vulkan. We still have a long, long way to go but this is a major step. Thanks for your continued interest and support!
