Mad Max is currently 50% off on the Feral Store

Here's your chance to bag an awesome Linux game for cheap, Mad Max is currently 50% off on the Feral Store.

I have many hours logged in the game and plan to put in plenty more, so if you're still sitting on the fence about it this is a chance to get it cheaper for maximum enjoyment!

It's one of those games you can pump many hours into without realizing it, just cruising around in your beefed-up killing machine.

Buying from the Feral store gives Feral more money, since Steam doesn't get a cut. A nice way to support our friendly porting house. You get a Steam key from their store, just to be clear on that.

How many hours have you logged in Mad Max now? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: chepatiFor some reason I get no sound output. In Settings/Audio I get NOSOUND under Driver (quoting from memory). For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Have all the pulseaudio 32bit libraries too.

However, I got a few games where sound doesn't work: Book of Unwritten Tales 2, Don't Starve, etc.

Must be a simple thing I'm overlooking...

All three games you mentioned are working for me with PulseAudio.

Quoting: GuestHas anyone completed the game but still not finished most of the sidequests?
I need a savegame like that, my savegame is corrupted and it's not giving me the 100% completion on deep fria's territory, that means i can't get all the achievements.

i might have something but i have to check

I had a similar bug on Ubuntu, had to load the game, then kill pulseaudio and then quit the game, reload pulse and it magically worked. No such issues on Arch for me though.

Quoting: tuubiMad Max gave me ~90 entertaining hours of gameplay. Easily worth the price. Go grab it already.

how many times did you played trough it? i've got 50 hours and that's 2 and a half of playtrough of mine.
Once, but I'm one of those weird people who just can't help but thoroughly explore every nook and cranny. Also beat every racing challenge and whatnot.

91 hours here and totally in sync with you regarding the exploring. I take my time and immerse myself. Loved the game, fantastic.

Would you believe it! I found the solution. Feral did not include libpulse-simple.so.0 with their build and even though the library was available, the game did not pick it up.

Here's how I fixed it:

ln -sf /usr/lib/libpulse-simple.so.0.1.0 ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mad\ Max/lib/x86_64

@Feral, if you guys see this, please include libpulse-simple.so.0.

Thanks.

And what about performance ? The game looks very GPU and CPU demanding, do you guys think a GTX750ti + a quad xeon CPU at 3.0ghz and 16gb ram could handle it?

The game takes a stutter sometimes on even better systems, but as you are between minimum and recommended, you could give it a go.

Thanks for the hint. I bought it now.

AMD graphics cards are not currently supported by Mad Max.

other than fucked up audio (sounds like someone is loading up a Sinclair Spectrum tape mixing with normal game audio) it seems to be running at UHD/high. This audio issue happens with Source engine games too...sometimes.

Ehh, after 8 hours I couldn't go on. I was really interested in the car combat and customizing, but after clearing a dozen fortresses and knocking scarecrows down I hadn't progressed much. I felt good about reducing the 'enemy influence' in the area, though my heart sank when I opened the map and realized there's a ton of districts in each territory, and I realized the majority of the game experience wasn't very engaging.

I'm finding this happening a lot in the past couple years. I just can't get through open world games anymore. I enjoyed the sailing in AC: Black Flag (PS4) and some of the mechanics in Watchdogs (until I noticed stuff like the traffic jams were QTEs in disguise), but the tedium of side-quests and collectibles just wore me down.

That said, it's probably a great value for people you can 'tune-out' to and just enjoy the rhythm. For me that's currently games like Slime Rancher or Minecraft :)
