Quoting: Anonymous

Quoting: Metallinatus

Quoting: mannyweird no mac version for 2033 redux, only linux/steamOS / windows :D

Because SteamOS is not based on Mac, that's why.

I've noticed the CPU and RAM requirements for Windows & Linux are the same, but the required graphics cards are different. What can we infer from that in regards to it being a truely native port?

It should be native. The point of the graphics cards is that nvidia and amd won't support their older cards with better drivers on Linux. So older graphics cards will run better in Windows unfortunately. On the other hand they had to start somewhere right?

I preordered the bundle btw :>
I hope the games wont crash as much as the Metro LL Linux port :/

ordered 6 months when i saw it on reddit because it looks awesome

postage to Australia doubled the price and im still waiting for mays one(hopefully this week coming up! has to be close) its costly and quite a gamble with the products being a surprise and i wish they would include steam keys(from what i hear they are looking into that?) but it looks like its a nice product and aslong as they continue to support linux i really don't mind paying up

Quoting: Wrapper

Quoting: AnonymousI am happy with the port :).

Good for you! But it's not a port. It's just a wrap :)

I dont care. It is running fine and supported. Of course i expect, that they are fixing reported issues, so that everyone can enjoy this game.

Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyYeah.....this is one of the few games that I didn't want on Linux at all.

What's your issue with it?

Quoting: SilviuSomehow I find that very, very unlikely...

What you find very unlikely it's not my problem, i post my experience, that's all, and i see i'm not alone with good experience so far.
I have also done a video of the game where you'll can view how well it runs.

Guys, chill out. We are seeing results ranging from complete unplayability to decent performance and we have no idea why, but playing the blame game isn't going to do any of us any good. Please refrain from insulting others.

Yeah, people get a bad port and they should praise and raise statues to the ones responsible for it. You're either trolling or have no idea how well the game is supposed to work.

Sod off.

Personally I don't see the point. What I love about digital distribution of games, music and movies is having my house uncluttered from all these boxes. ;-)

And based on my performance, which has been performing well, I find it very, very unlikely that you people are having problems.


See, I can do that too. Seriously, it's ridiculous how this community has been acting lately.

I have tryed the game.

With:

Ubuntu 14.04 Nvidia 337.19
Intel i7 3770
GTX 770
8 gb di ram

And this settings:

1920x1080
v-sync enable
all to max except Uber Sampling

Runs very very Well, the only problem is a crash when i exit and a command to launch the game to enable keyboard.

OK, so now I have given the game a spin, I can say that on Ultra it does seem unplayable on my particular config. This is 8gb of ram, a GTX760, and a Haswell i5 processor.

Of course, I will try to now tweak the settings, unselect vsync etc..and I am sure that it will be playable.

On windows, with the same rig, the game ran super smooth, but I know that the game was coded specifically to run on windows originally.

We can probably expect some updates soon, with various fixes to improve performance.

I don't think this will ever be as good as on Windows, but I am still thankful that ProjectRed has made the first step of bringing the game on this platform.

But just to steer the conversation in another direction, how does the Linux port compare to the MAC one? It seems that they are not having a fluid experience either?

Tried the demo few months ago. Didn't like it at all. No idea why it even got greenlit. Sentiment, perhaps?

Quoting: liamdaweI also found that out by going to order, seeing the cost at $13 just for shipping to me :(

They are new though, I hope they can sort minor issues out.

It's true of most boxes though, so I doubt there's much they can do about the price. Although I do appreciate that they're adding that info up-front since about 3/4 of the boxes I've seen don't do that.

I bought the game but not tried. I just purchase all linux games to support linux platform.
Now I download the game to check performance. Late I will share my experience.

The latest version of fglrx comes with the following fix "Witcher 2: Resolves random lock-up seen when launching the application".

Quoting: rustybroomhandleOk, ran terribly for me, but got it smooth now (Arch/NVidia). Here's what I did:

3) Disable ubersampling

Looks good, runs well.

Oh, sure. Ubersampling has to be always disabled. It's never needed and it kills any performance. It's a brute force multipass antialiasing which is extremely resource hungry and will kill performance unless you have multiple GPUs installed (basically it renders the whole scene several times and merges the results). It's simply a huge overkill for any potential visual gain it can give (and those aren't event major).

I use these settings for the game and it's never slow ...

I would like to show the FPS in-game. An application like "Fraps" on Windows exist for Linux ?

PS : I use Debian Wheezy too.

Quoting: berillionsHow to show the FPS in-game ?
I have a Nvidia GTX770 + Intel I5-4570 + Nvidia driver 337.19 and after to disable only Ubersampling, the game runs without problems...

Strange. Same rig here, and running damn well fine! openSUSE!

Sounds fantastic. I do love a lot of things where we lose the Sol system for some reason and have to rebuild elsewhere.

His books are very much like this, fantastic read.

This is a real neat idea, but out of my reach, at least for the moment.
