Release battlefield 1 for linux! Please :)

Hi, I was a microsoft user. But the last time, Microsoft become really invasieve. So I had 2 choises:
Live with it.
Or quit.
As I don’t like to be spy’d BY someone and forced to do stuff I don’t want. Like a windows 10 update. That did broke some of my software. I quit the Microsoft train.
I really love battlefield. I have been a hardcore fan since bfbc2. I did purchase bfbc2 bf3 bf4 bfhl on pc and console with premium (On console I had it for every game). And now The new battlefield 1 game looks really great. It have everything I want from a battlefield game. It’s closer to bfbc1 in destruction than bc2. But I love it. And I really want it! When will you consider to release origin for linux? You’re missing a huge community here.
Please consider into releasing your platform on linux. Even if it will take some time. We will wait.
Thank you in advance (playstation: patryk_pro_gamer) ROG_Elite-G

you’re going to have a tough time with life

It would take too much time and manpower, and I doubt it’s that “huge community”, not too make it worth their time anyway.

Dual boot is your friend.

listen to these guys they are trying to let you know that Linux support is going to be 0 for this game :wink: and they are correct in saying so :smiley:

Count me in.

As a battlefield sniper and programmer i would love to transition full time on Linux. The only thing Linux needs to become popular is a good game , and bf1 will be.

One problem with Linux is the drivers. If BF uses the Vulckn api and launches on Linux i believe it will have a pretty bad start, until gpu vendors optimize their drivers for Linux. It can have the potential to do good on that platform.

A secondary problem is mouse setting. Oh boy that will be a huge hurtle. As a sniper i prefer to have no acceleration and do a 360° rotation: 49.4771 cm. At windows i know that i will have a 6 out of 11 windows setting. Mouse acceleration off. And do The MarkC mouse acceleration fix. Also i will have a dpi of 1200 in the Razer synapse and a polling rate of 1000 Hz. On Linux just to turn off mouse acceleration is a pain in the when compared to windows. Razer synapse is non existent and for me personally to transition will be a nightmare. I wont be able to set dpi because of the lack of drivers.

For battlefield to become a Linux title the flowing will need to happen.

  1. Release the game on Linux (Steam OS sort of edition will not hurt the company and will make the Linux port easily accessible and maintainable).
  2. EA should push and work with GPU vendors to make better drivers and optimize the game on that platform. (Probably will cost a lot).
  3. EA to push major peripheral companies to make drivers for Linux. (Not plug and play. Include also fine tune customization of their peripherals).
  4. Players to play the game at the first crucial hours, and provide feedback to the developers. And continue to play the game after the pain is gone.

Well the beta ran on DX12 and not on Vulkan. So i think the guy does have a point. But you never know.

wtf? Really? LOL

OP your option is Live with Windows or do something else. No Linux version

You should look into running Windows in QEMU with PCI passthrough for your GPU. It’s what I do and it works great. Barely any performance penalty.
