Ubuntu is just an overall faster OS for me. Crashes less, when it crashes I seldom have to restart, boot time is less than 10 seconds (don't compare to windows 8, windows 8 is complete garbage). I want to use ubuntu primarily, but the fact that so many things aren't officially supported forces me to use windows. Linux is becoming used more and more by average consumers, an official client would really be great.

I don't use windows anymore and i only play linux games from steam.

I've been using wine for many years, but it gets annoying to maintain with patches and updates, so i stopped using it.. I'd rather play native games :)

On a sidenote.. didn't steam develop a DirectX wrapper for the OpenGL api's ?
Sounds like it should be a breeze to port games to linux now.

Linux client would be huge!
Come on GGG, the very best developers! :)

Prior to the 1.1.0 update, Path of Exile ran perfectly for me using PlayOnLinux+Wine1.5.28 using Sovyn's guide on these forums (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/8980/page/57) and on the wiki (http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Path_of_Exile_on_Wine).

However, since the 1.1.0 update, I have been experiencing severe FPS drops upon nearly every monster death. The game runs smooth otherwise. I have not found any other post on these forums or the Internets that has been able to help me fix this yet.

I have tried adjusting every possible video setting within the game and outside the game. I have tried numerous other Wine versions and many different prefixes. The game still runs perfectly EXCEPT when something dies on screen, then it stutters. Which is really bad with a room-clearing skill where all monsters die in rapid succession. My character is frozen during that time (which will eventually lead to certain death playing in the Invasion league).

This problem has nothing to do with latency as far as I can tell. My latency is very steady in the mid 80s.

What really sucks is that I had become a Champion supporter the night before the 1.1.0 update because I wanted to show my trust and support in GGG. I really like the game, but now I can't even play it.

I request that GGG port Path of Exile to a native Linux version. I know Linux users sometimes get a bad rap for not being willing to pay for software. Personally, I don't think this is true, especially for adult Linux gamers. In my experience, there are not enough game companies who take us seriously. But those game developers who do cater to us (at least a little) are often rewarded with fanatic support from the community.

As suggested in the thread https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/783686 , I would gladly pay money for an official Supporter Pack that would lead to the development and release of an official Linux client.

Just my $0.02, YMMV.

Maybe this will help? http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/valve-has-posted-their-direct3d-to-opengl-translation-layer-onto-github.3248/

I would also pay extra for the Linux port.
