But I definitely prefer wrapper version port than no game (assuming it works and it works well). Regarding general wrapper or native port discussion - of course we prefer native ports.

I have to say that my issues with eOn were solved by eOn configuration changes, but in November final user will not be as forgiving as we (Linux users) are and I guess manual eOn configuration will not be an option for them. Of course our feedback should be super important for porting companies and according to Liam it is not for VP. And unfortunately the most important for VP in my opinion will be how does it perform on SteamOS. Having that in mind I would say that we should wait with the final reviews until we see how does eOn perform on November. It is also very important for Valve to have users that are pleased with ports quality. It's obvious that Valve is a party that is most interested in Linux ports and they are pushing developers to make library as big as possible. But in my opinion we have to wait with final reviews until November. I have to say that I have mixed feelings about VP ports either. There is an overhead on their wrapper, that is undeniable. The main problem is how graphically intensive the game is, and not to put down the stellar work Virtual Programming has done in bringing performance up a lot in their eON porting tech (really good improvements!), we need all the performance we can squeeze on a rather heavy game like Arma 3. I was also okay with it being older games, when the developer maybe didn't have the time or resources to port it themselves, but this is a game that is still being worked on. I did report the issue here back in April, and no progress since then. BioShock Infinite has crashed for me on every play-through for just one example, and I can't currently bring myself to load it up again and lose progress. Performance is one thing, stability is another. The problem is even after fixing up their porting technology to perform well, I get crash bugs in all of their games. I have mixed feelings about Virtual Programming ports in general, but I really do want to like them.

QuoteThe company is responsible for bringing many exciting titles to the Mac and Linux during the past several years, including: Bioshock Infinite (Linux), SpecOps The Line (Mac and Linux), Dirt Showdown (Mac and Linux), Arma 3 (Mac and Linux) and many others. Thanks to the about page on Virtual Programming's official store, we have found out that they are the mystery external porter of Arma 3 that should see a Linux release.
