If you're like me and dig a good RTS game but run Linux as your primary desktop, today is your lucky day:

Exactly one year to the day after writing Company of Heroes 2 might be coming to Linux, today marks the planned release of the Linux port of CoH 2.

Company of Heroes 2 for Linux isn't up on Steam at the moment, but it's expected to appear there within the next few hours. As mentioned last week with regards to the system requirements, this Linux/OSX game port by Feral Interactive Games lists Intel or NVIDIA graphics as the requirement. "Requires an Intel Iris Pro graphics card or an NVIDIA 600 series graphics card or better with driver version 352.21 or later." But a GeForce GTX 760 or better is what Feral recommends for the game on Linux. There's no mention at all of AMD Catalyst or RadeonSI support, so we'll just have to see what goes wrong with it later today...

No, this isn't a soyvertisement. I just dig when good games and Linux meet.


[Ed. additions] Also noted on twitter:

Feral Interactive on Twitter: "Mac Linux ready their armies: Company of Heroes 2 will arrive Aug 27 on Steam and soon after on MAS. Minisite: http://t.co/VUysnoVnR6"

Also, it appears that it will have per-platform multiplayer.

Nice GamingonLinux article/review of the release.

    I think "Soyvertisment" has a better ring to it.

    As an aside, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a Soylentil letting the rest of us know of a new product that may be of interest.
