Feral Interactive are teasing yet another Linux game
9 May 2017 at 5:59 pm UTC

I've been playing Shogun 2 for a week under Wine now, even installed Steam (Win) for that. It runs remarkably well with DX9 (both with standard translation layer and Gallium Nine state tracker). The only thing that annoys me is a warning at the beginning of every battle that the game executable has been tampered with. So my hopes are high that Feral's next port will be Shogun 2. <3

Never heard of "small mode".

I just discoverd "small mode" via View -> Small Mode. Honestly this has already changed my life.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 looks like it will be heading to Linux & SteamOS

This game had let me waste more than 100 hours of my lifetime until I stopped booting Windows. Now I'm looking forward to wasting more of it.

And it has a great graphical style - it's truly my favourite Total War title.

Mad Max released for Linux, port report and review available

The game runs like a charm on a Radeon R9 270X with Mesa 12.0.3 straight from Fedora 24. Maybe this is of interest to the valiant minority of Radeon gamers.

Keep up the good work, Feral!

Feral Interactive's Linux ports may come with Vulkan sooner than we thought (UPDATED)
27 October 2016 at 8:34 pm UTC

Since Deus Ex is not originally developed with low level APIs in mind, the benefit of Vulkan will at best equal the benefit of DX12 - which is performance parity at this very moment. Nevertheless the mere capacity at Feral to port games from DX12 to Vulkan makes them stand out from the small circle of Linux porting campanies. Now it's Aspyr's and the others' (how many are there, anyway?) turn.

New set of GPU benchmarks and adventures in OpenGL 4.3
1 June 2016 at 1:50 pm UTC

Quoting: TheRiddickAlso you didn't test AMDGPU (kernel driver not pro). Probably perform that same as RadeonSI driver however.

You are slightly misinformed. amdgpu ist the free and open source kernel driver for both radeonsi and the AMDGPU-PRO closed source OpenGL implementation (deriving from fglrx). When you install AMDGPU-PRO a patched version of amdgpu (the free kernel driver, with DAL) is injected into your kernel by the installation packages. In theory vanilla amdgpu can work with the closed source user space driver but I haven't seen anyone yet doing this.

New set of GPU benchmarks and adventures in OpenGL 4.3

The perfect match for a GTX 760 is an R9 270X, the counterpart for an R9 380 is a GTX 960, and a fitting sparring partner for an R9 370 is a GTX 950. At least this applies in DirectX world...

Taking this into consideration, I think radeonsi works incredibly well.
