Rakeleer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I am also having this problem. I am going to request a refund of the DLC I just bought, because I have had no assurance the Linux client will be updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonTek Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 This is an issue with every update they do. Basically everytime they update, they have to re-write the client just for linux/mac. From my understanding, this has something to do with the fact that we use OpenGL/Vulkan instead of Direct X. Because they don't implement DXVK, we have to wait for the direct translation to happen which can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Look forward to 2-3 weeks wait for the new client when the new maps are released. from my understanding, Extinction took close to 3 weeks to get a Linux/Mac client release.

dbat Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Do patch numbers/versions have to be the same in order to play non dedicated? If my friend is on Windows with patch 298.x and I'm on Linux with 297.x would that explain why we can no longer connect via non-dedicated? Just a few days ago we played fine, and now I only see "no sessions found" in the Join screen (no matter what filter) and "unable to query server info for invite" when he sends a Steam invite.

bendeliduka Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 It use to work but stopped recently. it's been almost a week now and I'm assuming everything I have on any server is dead/gone now (thanks developers) Guess I should try and push back for a refund as the game is useless when there are weeks when some clients can play and some clients cannot play.

TechZero Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have no problem with expansions and things of that nature taking longer to get to Linux and Mac. We should expect that sort of thing being in the minority of gamers but when it's an update that affects your existing game I think it's totally unfair. I don't see why they are in such a hurry to release a patch that they are content to completely ignore a portion of their player base rather than waiting until all clients are ready. It's not that I can't live without the game for a few weeks. It's that the nature of the game means that not playing for that long undoes hours of work and creates unnecessary frustration and resentment. Just my rant for the day.

And it's puzzling because it's based on the Unreal cross platform game engine. It's a compile session for all intended platforms. Why the disparity? If they can afford a few Macs and Windows boxes to test on it's not like they can't afford a Linux pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
