Would LOVE to have POE "Natively" on Linux with No Sub patch or work arounds. Just Natively.

I would LOVE to see POE work perfectly on Linux "NATIVELY",
without the need of any (wine) or any stupid crap like that.

Generally many people would love to leave Microcrap & use Linux,
but many gaming companies don't make their games for Linux "NATIVELY".
And its basically slowing down the evolution of humans when they want to
expand on to something much better than Microcrap.

Many people like myself, find that many AAA games are not available for Linux,
and the ONLY way for someone to make it available for Linux is, that they would
have to mess around with so manycrap or use wine or other softwares like wine,
Instead of just "NATIVELY" using POE on linux.

This might have been discussed like a million times, but I feel like
no one is listen or care that there is a 3rd operating system in the world.
And its called Linux !!


I am dying to completely drop Microcrap, But I cant because I am being held prisoner
by gaming companies that dont want to create their game for Linux.
Its becoming a nightmare.



Anyways, thank you for your time and reading this.
I will keep hoping that one day, I will be set free from this prison of Microcrap.



Best Regards.
Twsted.

You aren't the only one...

I have been a Linux user for almost 30 years, and find it highly disappointing that game devs don't offer Linux-native versions of their games/apps.

Windoze has too many "background" tasks that the user has zero control over, which can randomly "grab" the CPU's cylces away from whatever "foreground" app the user is running (particularly games). Linux doesn't have all those "background" tasks and lets the user have more of his/her CPU's processing time for the apps they WANT running.

Viva la freedom! Long live Linux. Microshaft isn't the only OS company out there.

ggg's argument has ever been that the client runs with directx but now they support vulcan and maybe it's time to rethink that decision of a windows only client.

Ah yes, "stupid crap" that lets you play so many games on linux and has improved so much over the years to let you do that.

I played on linux via proton (which uses the "stupid crap" wine), had 0 issues. Though I played at 75 fps, dunno if higher fps is a problem.

Dude, they don't even have Vulkan fully integrated despite it being widely seen as superior.

"Generally many people" were too dumb to know other operating systems in the early 90's before Microsoft became the dominating force of media it is now. I used to have 4 OS boots then.

Those "many people" have no one to blame but the mirror. I still use Unix variants but I'm not gunna bother gaming on them so why would anyone develop for them?.

I have been playing PoE on Linux via Steam(proton) for years. It works pretty much perfectly.

Vast majority of games(without invasive anti-cheat systems) work very well on Linux these days with Steam.

There's minimal setup needed for it also. Just tick one checkbox in the steam settings and you are done! Goodbye Windows! :)

I would love to see a linux version too. Thing is, just about every company that has done a linux port uses a snapshotted version of winelibs which is fine but in the end runs worse than you could manage on your own.

OP, having said all of that, PoE runs perfectly via Steam + Linux with zero fiddling around. At least for me. (Not saying devs shouldn't make Linux versions THEY SHOULD!)

I prefer loading my games by typing "wine <gamelauncher>.exe" from a terminal window. Every other windows game I have runs just fine when i do that, PoE is the only one I'm having trouble with.

Absolutely! I wish GOG had a slick system like Steam. Lutris is good, but I've been unable to reinstall my Grim Dawn game properly. I had it working previously, but it's broken now. :(

Have you checked if your distro's repos have an app called "minigalaxy"? It's a native linux app for accessing your GoG account to download and install your games...

Well the game won't run for me, whether I use regular wine (7.20 staging) or latest updated steam... Oddly enough, the steam install doesn't use the content.ggpk file, instead having a bunch of extra folder treess...

What I am experiencing is either a just a blank screen with a triangular mouse cursor when I try "wine PathOfExile.exe" from a command terminal or nothing at all when I try through steam, yet the game runs fine if I reboot into win10...
