Automobilista 2 June Development Update - It´s Official Release Time!

"Unique selling point." could make sense when a business tries to expand their market. Sim Racing is a very niche product in the first place. The resources required to appeal to a microscopic market (AM2 Linux users) would be a financially foolish decision. Make the best game possible period, the gamers will come to whatever platform your offer an amazing product. That has been a historical fact...

 

It would be great to sim race in Linux, wouldn't it? But let's face it, Wine is a hack and makes no sense to ask for care/support when Reiza clearly states that the only platform is windows, we know what we've paid for.
To start thinking about Linux support the game should be at least using Vulkan or OpenGL, not a hack.
Right now the reality is that you should code and submit Wine patches to try to make it run better on Linux.

 

All he is saying is that the anti-cheat doesn't detect proton/wine as some sort of cheating code.

Besides, what is the problem if someone wants to game on Linux? He is not asking Reiza to port the game either... as stated, he seems to be using proton/wine.

 

Yep. Common ground there. Members here who closely, or even relatively closely have been following progress can see the incremental improvements, the time, the work that's gone into AMS2. It's superb. All the while we've been able to enjoy some of the content, there's something for everybody either now, or coming in the future...

It's not without it's issues (To be expected), but you can jump in and find some bug free, fantastic fun. The reviewers, Youtubers etc that hop into a V1.0 have to judge it as it currently stands from that perspective.

 

I'm not asking for a native version of the game (actually that would be great), but please they don't break the current Wine/Proton simulator compatibility because of an anticheat. There are anticheat systems that work fine with Wine/Proton, I just ask that they take it into mind.

I know 4 people who use Automobilista 2 with Linux (Proton). I'm sure there will be a few more at least that I don't know

 

Congrats and thank you!

 

Esse jogo tem alguns problemas bem sérios em relação ao feeling dos carros, primeiramente os carros desse jogo não rotacionam parece que quicam, segundo a saida de traseira mais parecem que a sua frente decidiu virar sozinha do que qualquer outra coisa, preferia o ams 1 que ja não era muito bom nessas questões, carros que eu testei para fazer a analise: Stock car, F ultimate, kart 125.
Ainda relacionado as saidas de traseira, no jogo quando você contra esterça, o carro não vai reganhando o grip progressivamente, ele volta instantaneamente e seu carro sai virando pro outro lado.
Gostaria ter escrito um ticket direto para a empresa porém eu não vi nenhuma forma de o fazer.

 

What about of Buenos aires? You added brasilia to ams2 but you didn't add buenos aires....

 

I'm pretty sure it will come in the future, look at this post

 

Linux might be the platform to go for long distance racing. That way you know that your computer won't crash during a race.

 

Or windows 10, won't crash either

 

I think that Linux could be a good alternative because is a more reliable and secure system, without surprise updates, hangs, low speeds ...

 

Another linux player here. Please don't brake linux support. It works with no problems on steam/proton, only one issue exist, you can't use alt+tab (switch to desktop or another app). But all other things runs perfectly for me.
