Linux support

[Mega]

I was wondering how well this game runs on AMD cards with the open source Mesa drivers.
Is it worth picking up for a linux-only user?

I truly understand your point, especially about the refund.

But I think the best move it's to wait and help the developer to fix this game for Linux, Dead island work great and as a lot of post about this game, Linux is not the only OS affected.

Just remember few years ago, when steam was not available for Linux, just few natives games (commercial or open source) most of the time, you have to spend hours to find the right settings on wine (or even Cedega :p) for start a Windows game, mostly you was needed to play with the lowest display settings, with often crash or sound problem...


As I told you, I think what you did is totally legitimate, hopefully when the game will be fixed on Linux u will buy it again, it's important for us to have this kind of quality game on Linux

Don't know what to make of your post. More than happy to wait for a developer to fix their software, but to pay for it and then not only wait for it to work - but help to also help them get it working? The word for this is "exploitation".

Even by varying degrees. You've got to be kidding.

I'm outta here!

@Mega, not sure about Mesa, i'm on Linux with 8GB RAM and an Asus Strix GTX970 and i reach 25/30fps in the open world at max, waiting for a beta or a patch to solve it..

What is your distro ? on Mint debian still not work (apparently the dev are aware)

[dud3z]

I'm on ArchLinux/64, do you have any missing lib such as libGLEW or libsdl2?

[Anyone]

hey


Unfortunately, yes :(

My actual specs (on mint debian) : http://steamcommunity.com/app/239140/discussions/0/606068060838561314/

(the computer is an asus republc of gamers)

I got another laptop too with these specs :

(the howto is from me)


I'm actually have doubt that install this game on my old laptop on Gentoo will work, but since you there, do you think it will work ?

Except what you are describ (do you have any missing lib such as libGLEW or libsdl2?), have you any other leads on my problem ? I'm a willing to try any solutions !

Thanks in advance budy !

I got pretty similar specs (pretty much exactly the same). It's a shame that it runs so poorly. Is it a wine wrapped game just for the sake of having the "also on linux" logo next to the game?

It is native (but obviously poorly optimized).

I get 50 fps outdoors after turning sun shadows off. Playable, but without sun shadows indoor areas look goofy.

Yes you're out because you know you are a dumb ass.

Go back to Windows, Linux is not for your noob.


Ps : I'm not sure why you are making a post on a forum for a refund ? ;p

It's this kind of behaviour that gets no sympathy from me. I refuse to be a beta tester without some renumeration, however go ahead and pay for something that doesn't work! It's been a couple of weeks now! Amazing ZERO return investment in some game!

If you read my post properly you will notice I got my refund. PP saw in my favor. The reason I linked to it in the PP dispute is because that is what you do. And what better place than here!
Thanks!

If anyone else paid with PP - They should probably give it a shot, unless people like you convince them that, for some reason they are;

"dumb ass" and should "Go back to Windows, Linux is not for your[sic] noob."

Or whatever convinces people that they should be exploited with their money and time. Don't get me wrong. I really don't care what people decide. Do what you want.

Shadows have always been iffy in games with the open source drivers tho. It woulnd't be the first time I'd see 'whacky' shadows.

Sorry, my post was misleading. I'm running the proprietary NVidia drivers.

AMD/ATI open source ones card has similar specs tho. The properitary amd drivers take away my abillity to use all the three "legacy" ports at once so I don't have to buy one of those scammy "active" display port cables. Legacy meaning two DVI and one HDMI port.

This game runs like absolute crap on my system. 8-30 FPS outside and 15-65 FPS inside the tower. Settings have minimal to no effect on my performance, bar the detail distance slider which I set to lowest.
