Linux: runs on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, too! :-)

[Pong [Linux]]

Yes, I know the system requirements for this game: Ubuntu 17.10, GCN3 , Mesa 17.3.5.

Well, I have 16.04 LTS with Kernel 14.3, a GCN 4th generation graphics card (RX460 5GB) and Mesa drivers 18.0.1 from Padoka PPA:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa/ubuntu

After first start "System does not support 3D API required by this game!" appeared. Vulkaninfo said the vulkan driver is not started cause of incompatible drivers. I then installed vulkan drivers via

sudo apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers

and it worked!!! YESSSS! So this game is running with Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS, Kernel 14.3, Mesa 18.0.1 and Vulkan enabled - on my lower end passively cooled RX460 graphics card and AMD 7850K Kaveri CPU (32 GB RAM)! And not even bad: with mid range settings on 3440x1440 the included Benchmarks showed 25 FPS average which is already playable!

Thank you, Feral for this good work! It even runs on lower system requirements. Vulkan is so great! :-)

Yep, it works pretty well on lower configurations. As for me I use KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 16.04 with a Pentium G4620 and a GTX 1060 ; I get a pretty good framerate (benchrmarked at 57.5 FPS) on very high details (1080p).

Great work, Feral !

[Ouin-Ouin]

Hmm, BTW, I get 6 more FPS when not using the "Force compositon pipeline" option in the NVIDIA drivers.

Edit : ah, actually, this is only because VSYNC is forced with the option :)

I'm also running Ubuntu 16.04 and it works great. My only problem is that my PS3 controller isn't being read and everything freezes up at the Ferral dev screen when running from Big picture mode. anyone else getting this?

[Pong [Linux]]

I wonder that I don't gain/lose many FPS on most setting changes. E.g. lowest or highest hair of Lara. Or details of textures, models or tessalation. The Mesa drivers seem to do a good job on my rather low end RX460. :-)

Because your CPU is too weak and bounds the framerate.

Too weak: AMD 7850K quad core 3.7 GHZ?

Sadly, yes. Though the game is threaded, the per-thread performance of that generation of CPUs is lower compared to contemporary Intel's or AMD's newer Ryzens and Ryzen+ CPUs. DO NOTE, that those CPUs are well performers with threaded applications, BUT on a per-thread basis their IPS ratio is rather low (again, compared with the contemporary CPUs)

I don't care -it looks good and is very playable for me! :-)

Which is the best part! Good gaming!

Running Mint 18.3 XFCE which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 and am also happy to report game seems to be running flawlessly eventhough my system does not meet the minimum requirements at any level.

A Big Thank You Feral for this Awesome port!!! My aging system sports an old Intel Quad Q9550 with 16GB Ram and only major upgrade was the nVidia GPU GTX1060 6GB using the propriertary 390.48 driver. Getting an average of 60fps when running the built in benchmark. Very playable and smooth, can't wait to finish this game!

My only wish now is that you could give your other port of Deus Ex - Mankind Divided the same treatment so that those of us whom don't meet the minimum hardware requirements like myself can also enjoy the game thanks to vulkan and your excellent porting work!

Guess I should try hold back now on supporting the devs of the huge database of games being ported to linux and put that cash aside for a decent hardware upgrade to properly enjoy my ever growing library even more :-)

Much, Much thanks again Feral and team!!! Please keep them ports coming, we really appreciate it!

[Grogan]

Same here, Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu 16 base) with custom kernel, and xorg-edgers PPA (Mesa 18.0)

AMD R9 380 (4G)
Core i7 950 (3.02 GHz)

I haven't played that long, but I'm pleased to say it at least works very well (we'll see about stability... I can't speak for that yet)

I am happy to be able to come here and say something nice about a game for a change. I appreciate this.

[Ook]

Slackware 14.2 with 4.4.118 kernel, nvidia 1060, Ryzen 7. Runs *very* well, performance is excellent. So far no problems at all.

On initial startup it complained about my OS, cpu and video card. I just ignored it. It runs great.

How were you able to run in? I have the Cinnamon edition and it keeps telling me that I don't have the 3D API

How were you able to run in? I have the Cinnamon edition and it keeps telling me that I don't have the 3D API

System specs? Are you running Nvidia or AMD? Nouveau? dmesg | grep nvidia, glxinfo | grep OpenGL (to have an.idea of driver version/hardware), etc

I'm using Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, and I never got that error. I'm using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and I didn't even have to install Vulkan separately. I used this guide to install the video drivers, for what it's worth:

Add one more thank you to Feral for me. I haven't played much yet, but this is already one of the best Linux ports I've seen.
