Linux Support

I know and understand that the game is still in beta, but i would love to see Linux support as soon as possible.

I tried PlayOnLinux and Wine with no success, mostly cause of the 64 bit architecture of the game currently, and when i try to load it up with chromium (the open source version of chrome that is available for Linux) the browser is not supported.

At least at this stage it would be nice to support chromium. Or does anybody have found a working solution of how to make it playable on Linux?

Chrome and chromium aren't quite the same.

I play Duelyst in chromium on Ubuntu. I don't know why mine works and his doesn't.

Here's a fairly recent forum post where we went through some troubleshooting steps for Linux builds (though we weren't quite able to fix this one either). Might give you some ideas of things to try. https://forums.duelyst.com/t/chrome-crushes-when-opening-the-game/23298

Pretty sure the web version worked on Chromium for me.

Not sure it'll be really helpful but I play Duelyst on Linux (Ubuntu 15.10) in Chrome with no problem. I've just tried it in Chromium and I get the same message as you. The chrome://gpu page is exactly the same in both browsers except for command line args which has "--enable-pinch" in Chromium (not sure what it does).

So, I'm wondering: is it possible that Duelyst checks the user agent of the browser used and simply doesn't recognize Chromium as a compatible browser?
