Officially Supported Linux Client

448

I would love to be able to run PoE on my Linux box!!! The only reason I use Windows is for certain games that aren't available for Linux.

P.S. Microsoft, you suck for making a monopoly, and putting your crap on a majority of computers.

I just redid my computer within the last week, and I've yet to reinstall my Linux partition specifically because the main game I play right now is PoE, and I don't want to deal with the issue that come with running a non native game on Linux, as well as the issues that PoE already has right now. Having a native client would at least give me this option back. Something I definitely want.

I'm currently using Windows 7, but I'd love to play and keep supporting POE after I change to linux in few months.

I think 52 pages of posts deserve some opinion from GGG...

I wanted to add my vote as well. Once I've played out my games for windows I will only be messing with gnu linux or ps4 games. Not sure if I will even bother with dual boot. Steam is working better on linux and with new consoles I don't have much interest in hanging around on windows or upgrading to win 8. Windows 7 has been great for me though.

I can only play PoE at work, because my personal computer have only Linux. And it's quite old too, so maybe even with Windows it wouldn't work, but I'm planning to get a new one, and it's also going to be Linux-only. It's been one of the main reason why I didn't buy the Open Beta supporter pack.

Running OpenBSD, game works but wine can be a problem some times...

I upgraded my openSUSE install to 13.1, it somewhat screwed pathofexile in wine 1.7.7 (something about the application requiring 2 backbuffers but only one is supported).

So i really hope there will someday exist a native client (even via steam if necessary).

openbsd can wrap linux binaries, right?

I mean, we'll all benefit from this port.
