Officially Supported Linux Client

189

A Linux client would be highly appreciated, even if it had to start out as a build using winelib.

I'm currently running the game under Wine and managed to get it to run well, but things are a little fiddly with regard to getting decent results at the moment. Even just the assurance that someone at GGG is keeping an eye on how things run under Wine would be comforting.

edit: seems i have it fixed, wine1.4 from winehq, full dx9 install, vcrun2005 2008 and 2010, setting vidmem to half of mem of gfx card, all done in winetricks

using ubuntu 12.04

if you have problems with it taking a long time when you launch the client first time after install(allocating space or something) download it via a torrent and copy the content.ggpk into the gamefolder and relaunch the loader, then it will check files fast and download only a little bit then work

hope this helps somebody =)


You sir, just saved me a lot of frustration.

steam has linux open beta, and will release a linux based console, a lot of hardcore gamers will switch to linux in the future
Playing PoE under wine. Not working so good. I would love to see a linux client.

Please do, but not for MAC. We need more real gamers.

I, Zek the Penguin, shall add my voice to my fellow penguins in saying that PoE should DEFINITELY come to linux!
I recently posted on my FB page 'Linux Needs More Native Games' about this game, so hopefully Grinding Gears will take notice after more folks add to this post and others like it.
And so Steam for Linux is officially released, and some of my favorite games come with it. Now if only Path of Exile had Linux support, everything would be perfect.

Pleas don't be selfish. Everyone deserves to play this game as much as us. I wouldn't mind if they'd start with their support for Mac, if it would mean Linux coming after that.

I'm already counted, so continue from the last number.
