ArmA on Linux

[hack 1]

Hello Comrades, Hello BiS.

Many time i think how all Linux user, can easy play on all ArmA sequel on Linux.

First what need it's very strong and supportive community | there is

Then need ask BiS team, how much money need for port all ArmA sequel on Linux.

Then BiS can create project on Kickstarter, and assign the required amount to perform.

I think many people wanna play on Linux, many people hate Windows. But he's love ArmA and they must sit on Windows.

For Linux BiS can create something like Desura or Steam, but for Linux, where people can buy and run all ArmA series easy.

Do not judge strictly, I wrote all this from the heart

P.S. Yeah, i know, my English so bad

There are plenty of threads discussing this, you should have used the search function first.

Your best bet on Arma in Linux is this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?129553-ARMA2-OA-CO-Demo-Free-TOH-on-WINE-Linux!

Comrade, i use search function.

You give me link about run ArmA 2/CO on Linux with Wine. It's not about i say.

Many people wanna run ArmA 1/2/3 on Linux without fucking Wine, play without lags/bugs, run ArmA easy on Linux, need porting and on Linux, not run with emulator DirectX [Wine]

My thread about this. Many people will be interesting, how much need money for porting ArmA on Linux. For this project people create Kickstarter, Community can move this idea off the ground.

Need a comment from Developers, not people who do not care.

rundll is correct, this topic has in fact been discussed to death on these forums. The result is always the same: the ARMA games use DirectX, not OpenGL, so they will not run natively on Linux unless BI decides to write a whole new renderer. (Among other things, such as the sound engine.)

Since there is very little chance of this happening, this thread can be closed.

The devs are still able to post in closed threads btw., so if they have anything to add to this, they can.
