Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II Released For Linux, With Preview Port Report
23 July 2015 at 11:38 am UTC
Quoting: mboucharPlayed a long time ago when Steam didn't exist, so I just bought it.

I played for about 2 hours. I experienced a lot of crashes in the prologue, I think when using the menu. There are also missing textures sometimes when switching levels (everything is black except for the character models). I have to alt-tab out of the game and back in to restore the textures.

I really enjoy the widescreen resolution. I tried KOTOR 1 recently, and I can't play with that 4:3 resolution...

Strange in my case works, stay played all prologue and works without crash

Quoting: dubigrasuHey mrdeathjr, does NVENC affects performance in any way?

Is better option than with simple screen recorder gains around 15 to 20% more cpu power for example simple screen recorder use around 25 to 30% in screencasting meanwhile nvenc use only 8 to 10% (in game results represents around 20% more fps performance)

However NVENC still using low latency high quality profile dont have same quality of simple screen recorder

DiRT Showdown Looks Like It's Getting A Linux Release

QuoteOf all the DiRT titles, this is the one I want to play the least, figures. Oh well, still cool it's possibly coming to Linux.
Same here, but maybe it's worth to say that DIRT 3 runs very well on latest wine versions (> 1.7.37)

how did you install it ? Steam for windows then just wine 1.7.37 ? or are you using Play on Linux ?. Every time I install steam for windows on linux and then install a game it never runs or has an error message ?

doesnt Dirt3 use games for windows live or something you need to register or sign into?

Im running closed source nvidia drivers on a gtx760.

If you have dirt 3 complete edition, GFWL has been removed

However in my test recommends 346.72 drivers especially for this game, because 352 series have loss performance however in 352.21 improves a bit but not run equal than 346.72

Wine 1.7.45 + 346.72

Yes this is correct however native version is better (normally more performance) dont matter use eON in this case

As commented before this test have relation more than nvidia drivers than wine but is good know because sometime ago talks about nvidia drivers upper 349 give drop performance in bioshock infinite (eon port = wine based)


In this tests with mirrors edge and dirt 3 appears some interesting thing about this

Mirrors Edge

Wine 1.7.45 + 352.09

Dirt 3 in this test have used same cars (metro and audi quattro) in same courses (finland-day and norway-night)

Wine 1.7.39 + 349.12

Respect mirrors edge have more fps (around 10 to 20fps more depending scene) but in dirt 3 is most notorius (around 20fps more in finland-day with metro and around 25fps more in norway-night with audi quattro)

However in other cases performance remains similar

For both test have used nvidia-thread optimization introduced in this pcsx2 linux version
