DiRT 4, the rally game from Codemasters that was previously announced for Linux now finally has a date and it's this week! Feral Interactive just announced today that it's releasing this Thursday, 28th of March.
Direct Link
As for the system requirements, Feral also announced those details today as well. As expected, it's going to be using the Vulkan API.
At a minimum, you will need:
- OS: Ubuntu 18.04
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-3225 3.3ghz
- GPU: 2GB Nvidia 680, 2GB AMD R9 285 (GCN 3rd Gen and above) or better
- System RAM: 4 GB RAM
- Storage: 39GB
They did say other distributions are expected to work, however they're not supported by Feral. As for graphics drivers: If you have an NVIDIA GPU you will need driver version 418.43 or later. As for AMD, it will need Mesa 18.3.4 or later.
You will be able to get it from the Feral Store, Humble Store and Steam.
As usual, I will take a look at the game after release since there's no prior access and let you know how it runs plus some thoughts. If there is a built-in benchmarking mode, I will show that off too. I should also be doing a livestream of it on release day, so do follow GOL on Twitch!
Good to see more from Feral and there's other games on the way too remember. They're also officially porting Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Life is Strange 2. Their work is always good, as is their support, so I do hope they continue after those titles.

It feels like all we get lately from Feral is old rally racing games and RTS. Mix it up!!

I don't think that's up to them at all.

(sadly FFB doesn't work with proton)This is oddly true for a few games, where FFB doesn't work with Proton but does with Wine. Hopefully they can get that fixed as racing games are still a patchwork of remembering which works where...

Is this meant as a general statement or specific to DR2? I'm playing Assetto Corsa Competizione with Steam Play/Proton and FFB works just wonderfully with my G25.
Because not everyone is running that version of driver nor Ubluntu.
and thats the reason that Feral is stupid? because your distro doesn't support the driver? How about installing the Nvidia driver from the Nvidia site.
Maybe to DR2, and a few other titles. I think Project Cars works with Proton without FFB, but if you run it through Wine FFB works...(sadly FFB doesn't work with proton)
