Thanks for contacting developer and writing this article. I believe too in this game, hopefuly developers will figure out how to proceed.

Quoting: bubexelIt have direct mode for VR? Anyone knows?...

The drivers 381.09 had already Direct Mode support for SteamVR.

Wrong. 381.09 doesnt have direct mode.

update: yes, this new driver works with direct mode! :D

Well not sure what you did but I was using 381.09 and SteamVR + HTC Vive in direct mode :)

Quoting: Avehicle7887To anyone still on the 375* series,

We are stuck on 367.27 on SteamOS, you insensitive clod ;)

Edit: I wonder if game devs, e.g. Feral, can put some pressure on Valve to update Nvidia drivers in SteamOS.

Quoting: metro2033fanboyI hope it aint the current 381 on their PPA, cause that one freezes my Mint a lot! ... EVGA 1060

PS: The one on Nvidia PPA is .09 and this one is .22 haha...waitinggggggggggggggggg

kernel problem maybe? I run 381.09 dkms beta on arch with 4.10 kernel with no problems, 980 ti

also I wonder if this will be compatible with libglvnd, as the beta drivers require nvidia-libgl but the older 378 driver works with libglvnd

Quoting: DMGGame support said that it is driver fault and I need to wait till they optimize it. And how can I know, is it driver fault or game developer?

Most times, you just can't...

Well Said, even though some people post like they are sure of who's to blame unless you're in the developer (game/driver) it's usually pretty hard to tell especially with more subtle bugs.

Sometimes you can work it out but it's rarely obvious. In fact sometimes even as a developer it can take a good few days / weeks to work it out as it can end up being a bit of both :)

Quoting: freerunnerliveI habe big Problem with playing 4k h265 movies. Under windeath i have very low CPU usage. Under Linux my CPU sucks over 100% usage.

Do you think it is related to this new nvidia driver, or do you have it with earlier versions too?
It might be enough to switch to another videoplayer

I believe in this game.
Great potential and innovative UI and core mechanics.

Obviously to me the problem is not a scam intention (by far.. ) as you
read on often toxic steam forum answers. Obvious an organizational issue gone bad.

What Game do takes place year 799AD?
Shogun is 1500 something right?
It's maybe a clue from Feral or it just to make us lost and have more to look after.

Quoting: Geppeto35What type of 4x is it? Low pace and long to progress (like in endless legend or Civ:beyond Earth...too slow and long for me)? Is it the kind of gameplay where you spend your time adjusting small and insignificant parameters to win or more big view?

It certainly has 4X elements, but it's very different compared to Civ games. It has the usual Master of Orion elements like space exploration, planet colonisation, space/ground battles, research and diplomacy, but on the other hand you'll spend a lot of time managing the internal politics and social aspects of your empire, which is a feature usually absent in 4X games and there's enough detail to it that I would compare it with Victoria 2 or EU4. There is also a heavy focus on narrative compared to other 4X games. I'd rather call it a Grand Strategy game with 4X elements.

There is a lot of micromanagement, you can reassign some of it to the AI, but it's somewhat inefficient at it. I'd recommend having Stellaris wiki open in the background for your first few playthroughs, as the game is quite complex and its tutorial can be best described as throwing hints at you. Still, it's less overwhelming than Hearts of Iron games.

The current -33% sale is pretty good and I really like the game in general, but I'd get it around -50% if you're on the fence. What the game currently lacks is actual endgame content, as once you're done with your crisis and your quests, ascended to whatever and built your megastructures, you're stuck with what resembles a map of the Holy Roman Empire with dozens of tiny bickering empires. Nothing new ever happens and you're sitting for an hour researching Thing That Gives +5% to Things waiting for Yondar Blood Tribes to detach from Yondar Federation to vassalise them before Yondar Republic of Yondar or the Yondar Spiritual Kingdoms does it before you to get that extra 1% towards the Domination victory. You're at a stage when you know you've won the game, but you still need to pump about 6 hours to reach the victory screen, all of which will be either boring politics or very tedious warfare. Now compare that with Civ games where the game is at its most intense within the last 100 turns.

Quoting: razing32I do have some concerns on this game.
Digging through steam reviews I came across one that mentioned the community tried to implement cars as a mod last year and were more successful than the devs.
However since I do not actively play this or follow the community I am unsure of the validity of that statement.
Wonder if anyone can confirm one way or another.

Here is the review I am referencing:
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198030619437/recommended/108600/

Well, if the devs were ONLY implementing cars, I could see your concern, but they likely have a whole wad of other things also being worked on. It sounds like they are just getting started on cars.

If it's Shadow Warrior 2 (or any FPS/Action/Open World title) then I'll let loose with a heartfelt, barbaric yalp, "Yayyyyyy! Feral, I love you!" If it's YARTS (Yet Another RTS) then --- well, okay, look: I'll still love you Feral, but you're sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future.

Works fine on my 1060 (i'm using plasma though not cinnamon)

Quoting: DMGSo only I have such problems in ARK with nvidia drivers? I did not test latest driver version, but previous versions had this glitches in ARK. At least I have. Caves for me is unplayable at all. Whenever there is some smoke or fog, I see images, like below.

ARK is the source of the glitches in this case, not the drivers.

With the 378 driver, Ballistic Overkill dropped to barely 30FPS when running with optirun/primus. After two weeks of frustrations, research and playing with configurations, I gave up and disabled bumblebee altogether. Then, with only the dedicated graphics enabled in xorg.conf, the performance increased for more than 400%. That's a very frustrating development as I prefer having switchable graphics. I'm very eager to try the latest drive tonight to see if things have improved for me.

Huh now I do not know even what to think. How can I figure out who is guilty for glitch in game? In Master of Orion I had this glitch:



Game support said that it is driver fault and I need to wait till they optimize it. And how can I know, is it driver fault or game developer?

I bought it after this and it's fun, but the return to the start of the levels is not. The developers lost a opportunity here to make a insanely fun game because of that.

Quoting: DMGI do not think, it is ARK fault. I did not see any video, where someone had similar issues, but I see them a lot. And ARK is not only game with such glitches. I have similar issue with Master of Orion, where main character has no face and developers said this driver fault.

Please re-post the issues you're having as they're not available for everyone.

ARK is a phuked up piece of s?#t on Linux and no amount of nVidia optimizations is going to fix it. The developers have even stated on multiple occasions that they "don't have time" for Linux version, meaning that they just don't care.
If the devs don't care about that crap, nor should you. :\

This is not a rant against you or anyone who wants to play ARK, it's a great concept of a game. However the developers are just i(¤&#s who don't care for jack about their product nor do they have any vision of where they want to go with it.

Quoting: UrgickMy fan out of control, after 10 mins of demo

You can treat this slightly by toggling vsync using the 'Y' key. Sadly, the game won't remember the setting on launch.
