Stress testing and benchmarking tool OCCT gets an essential Linux fix

OCCT is a popular tool for stress-testing and benchmarking your system that recently had a Linux release, and now as of the latest update it should work better.

The developers recently released a major new version of the tool (v15) which came with big new features like storage stability testing for HDDs and SSDs, improved Linux support, a UI skins system and many other improvements. It came with a problem for some Linux users though, where it stopped working. With the update OCCT 15.0.4 noting:

This important update fixes a very tough issue where OCCT, when launched from Steam under Linux, would refuse to start. The compatibility layer of Steam was at fault.

Thank you for the reports and patience ! We're sorry it took us a few days to fix, it was not an easy one.

Changelog :

• Main : Fixed : OCCT would refuse to start on Steam+Linux due to a failure in enumerating storage devices.
• Ui : Fixed : The waiting dialog had an ugly border around the background
• Benchmark : Fixed : Upload would never stop when doing it without a license

In case you missed it back in July, they switched over to Vulkan by default too.
