Quoting: ewertonurias"lower prices too"?
Omg... I'm Brazilian, our salary is R$ 1000, and a "GTX 1060 Galaxy 6GB 192Bits here costs R$ 1600.
Here practically everything is inaccessible.

Where do you live, it's also so expensive? Asking for curiosity.

And the idiot award goes to me... I googled "amazon brazil" and guess what google provided :)

once I find the url for amazon.com brazil the price is Real $1648 ( just needed to check) and converting to pounds is £334 and amazon.co.uk as such a card at £300 -> £340 (OEM specific)

checking newegg usa ... $350 -> $360

So UK are getting stung but nowhere near Brazil level when you then compare the average wage...

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: NaibI pre-ordered this once there was enough confidence it was coming to Linux. My boy keeps on about Fortnite and we'll... Linux :)

The main part of this game that separated it was switch support. This would have ensured people played this to keep a critical mass. With Fortnite all but confirmed for switch this could cause a viability concern...

If it is good enough people will stay and people will come.

This game needs to come out now not only to get a foot in with switch but also because I want it :)

I have it pre-ordered from Steam and Switch too, for me Fortnite doesn't even come into the equation. I can play against my kid from Linux, while he's on his little gadget, great stuff.

The main thing I'm concerned about right now, is the fact that they still have no trailer or Steam store page even up yet and they're aiming for a mid-June release :/

that and day1/quick Linux release.

Well completed it last weekend at a lazily pace. Really enjoyed this and no crashing issues.
Smooth graphics and gameplay.

I experience ONE glitch however, graphics went or psychedelic. Needed to carry on through the cut scene and save to restart the game, then all was good.

All I can say is when.
I am getting really bored with HoN and while tomb raider is keeping me entertained, I'm after some PvP and BR games look fun just lacking on linux

As long as they implement getting to other worlds/space-tech as implied, this looks to be great!

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: Naib( I explain distro's to windows users as people only applying certain kb)

That sounds like a very inaccurate explanation. It implies the biggest difference is the amount of security you get.

Lots of things are inaccurate... From a windows user perspective "there are thousands of distro's, what do people target"

There are hundreds of distro's but do you know what? at the core they are all the same. Once you reach the zen of Linux distributions you realise all they are are at different patchlevels compared to each other and different defaults.
Couple that with linux's extremely consistent api going backwards and well if you get something working for one you can get it working for another.

So if my "layman's" explanation to a windows user, in terminology they understand as to why it doesn't matter that there are hundreds of distros... WHAT do you suggest?

cute... so what does it use to determine minimum system requirements?

Looking at the screenshot, it is just saying that your distribution is not supported.

You're fine mate, just that they tested against the distro they nominated as the minimum. Can you imagine the amount of distros that exists and all their different versions? There's no way they can QA all those permutations/combinations.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.4 with Linux 14.16.3 with Mesa 18.0 with a GCNv1.1 R9-290X and it is working perfectly, fluidly on Very High!

Quoting: nattydreadLooks good, however I played this in 4k on the PS4 pro.

I wonder how the framerate holds up in 4k with an expensive gfx card?

Oh I know my sys would be fine, just wonder what they used to determine the system. I understand why they only provide support for Ubuntu and it sort of makes sense EVEN if the zen of linux is all distros are essentially the same, just different configurations/patch level ( I explain distro's to windows users as people only applying certain kb)

the game does QQ if even one core is not set to performance schedular (I have a CRONJOB that runs every minute to detect if a game is running and sets the governor accordingly... there was a bug and it missed one core...)


pgrep -f "SteamLibrary|HoN" && ( for c in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{0..11}; do echo performance >$c/cpufreq/scaling_governor; done) || ( for c in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu{0..11}; do echo schedutil >$c/cpufreq/scaling_governor; done)


Runs VERY VERY smoothly :) my only complaint is a black screen via SteamLink but this might be due to resolution mismatch so ill look into that
