Quoting: AkonadyThanks for the response. Yeah seems like there's not so much difference between Windows or Linux on some games.

Not some. If a game works with Proton pretty much all of them are in the 90%+ Windows-speed category.

Quoting: AkonadyI wanna know something not related specifically to this game but with games in general.

What do you feel like playing on Linux (not native games), losing lots of fps, basically wasting the full potential of your hardware?

My Doom, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, F1 2019, Project Cars 2, Inside, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Prey run - allegedly - just as fast with Proton as natively. That said: They all reach with High or Ultra Settings frame rates way beyond what my 60Hz WQHD displays can deliver.

BTW: You are aware that quite a few Proton games run faster on Linux than on Windows, are you? Or are you just trolling?

Popcorn!

And since the distribution-which-must-not-be-named was named, I expect some flaming down the road. So far it has been way too civilized and therefore utterly disappointing.

Quoting: damarrinAnd the 1080p nonsense in 13-14-15" screens is baffling. Linux has no functional fractional scaling and those screens should not exist.

Care to elaborate? I have a 13.3" display with full HD resolution. Works perfectly ok.

Quoting: headless_cyborgI once read somewehere that Steam Beta is not included in Steam HW/SW survey, is that right? I use the stable release channel just because of that.

Don't think so. I have had the beta client running now for a really long time and IIRC I got the survey twice over this time.

Quoting: maasican any of you launch the game without any problem? I still cant run the game since the 'new power' update. I've tried everything, delete everything, report problem, launch from local file, update still nothing.

Works pretty much flawlessly. It rarely crashes with some out-of-vram error. But apart from that it just... works. Ubuntu 20.04 w/ Mesa 20.2 and AMD RX5700; tried s clean install on a smaller machine with an 5500XT - same result.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelSlightly off-topic question before I bother to reinstall: Did we get fully modeled gunner positions on aircrafts with the vulkan update or is that still dx11 exclusive?

You get the cockpits. And TAA. And sonic boom graphics. And nice clouds.

Quoting: keanI have Premium account and I thought this is a greedy move from Gaijin, however, it way too different and it really worths getting it. I also bought my Premiun during 50% discount, 20€ for 6 months.

Honestly the monetisation in this game is getting pretty crazy.
Premium accounts aren't really cheap outside of sales.

Why would you buy outside sales? There are sales at least twice a year. I've been playing WT now for more than 6 years always with a premium account and never paid the regular price. (And yes, you have to go for the 90-days or 1-year premiums.)

Quoting: ninjasftwVulcan.

That's a planet or a gatling gun... The other one's called Vulkan. That said - the Vulkan renderer really rocks. Particularly when coming from the OpenGL abomination.
