bhaz 0 Posted September 17, 2009 I thought I remember reading that the Linux server would come eventually? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shot 0 Posted September 17, 2009 Of course everyone read it. But be honest... how long is the game out now? They should really stop sitting there and ignoring the community. For me it was probably the last ArmA. I'm done with waiting for one patch after another and the eventually released Linux dedicated which may come or not at a date you won't be told...

bishop_smith2 10 Posted October 25, 2009 /signed A Linux dedicated server is important for many professional server operators, who operate servers with powerful hardware and high bandwidth. These servers would handle high player counts and would have smooth gameplay. So a Linux dedicated server would benefit the players, not just the server admins. id Software have consistently released Windows, Linux and Mac clients and servers for their games within months of each other. This is because they designed the games to be portable from the ground up. This saves money (by obviating porting) and better capitalizes on market opportunity (by making the Linux and Mac versions available simultaneously with the Windows versions). Besides, portable code tends to be cleaner and easier to maintain. "Aside from the sales and marketing advantages reaped by your ability to support new platforms, portable code has a major technical advantage: it leads to better software. By revealing sloppy assumptions and lazy coding habits, dormant bugs are exposed much faster. Often, serious bugs are discovered very early in the process of moving to a new platform." http://books.google.com/books?id=4VOKcEAPPO0C&pg=PA2&lpg=PA2&dq=benefits+of+portable+code&source=bl&ots=WC3qO1yz6T&sig=CnsIc4ztSL_brmfM7BqBE4Za09g&hl=en#v=onepage&q=benefits%20of%20portable%20code&f=false I hope Bohemia Interactive invests time and money in making their code portable (at least for the server?) for ArmA 3 and beyond. It will pay off in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rekrul 7 Posted October 27, 2009 The problem with waiting so long is that most players have moved on to other games, mainly because of poor MP servers. When you lose the critical mass of players it ends up in a downwards spiral instead of the opposite effect. Combine this with over-bugged releases for a niche game and it's like BIS is trying everything they can to keep the fanbase at a bare minimum. Obviously /signed.
