Linux Support for KF2?

[larkstongues42]

Are there any plans for Linux support for KF2? I know that RO2 doesn't support Linux (last time I looked), and it uses UE3 as well. Just sort of curious if it will support of any PC OSs other than Windows (I know a couple of other people who play on Mac too so). Is it planned, is is completely out of the question, working on it, is Stallman throwing locked cellphones at you guys... Just curious. =x

Yes it will be available on Steambox/Linux.

Will it be on mac as well? I just thought I would ask for a friend.

Are you planning on simultaneous release on Linux and Windows? (That is the Early Access not the final.)

I'll definitely pick it up if it's out on Linux during Early Access. Don't know if that's much incentive but I imagine there's a few other people like me out there. Otherwise I'll wait until the full release. I'd love to give feedback during development but it's a hassle to boot into windows just for one or two games these days.

btw thanks for bringing the game to linux at all. I know it's harder on UE 3.5 than the new 4. The only thing that would make me happier is if you ported RO2 as well. But I guess that would have happened by now if it was going to happen.

Even most importantly - are you (TWI) entirely in charge of the development and release of the Mac/Linux versions.

I don't use linux daily, but I'm very happy to see support.

We're developing the Linux version in-house. We've hired Terry "Mongoose" Hendrix II, part of the original Icculus Linux dev crew and he's rocking and rolling on our Linux/SteamOS work

Great I hope that you are already keeping him busy with other porting work.

Thanks for developing a Linux version! I bought the early access for Windows, and am anxiously waiting to play this game in the OS where I spend most of my computer time.

Any ETA?

I hope that they will optimize well this time....
Because Killing floor 1 has got a bad optimization on Linux, even with high end pc.

If they optimize well Kf2 on linux it can be a real rival to other zombies/zed survival games on Linux.

With the announced intent by TWI to launch KF2 in November, how is the Linux server and client coming along?
