It's kinda redundant to ask for CPU model AND core count. The latter can be extrapolated from the former. Core counts are a pretty useless metric anyway, especially when it comes to a gaming context.

Nice! I think I must've been lucky and only ever encountered one "entombed" draugr archer. I didn't realise it was as common as it apparently is.

I need to get back into this.

Quoting: ripper81358AMD GPU owners should avoid this game for now. It seems to have massive problems with the MESA drivers.

The only way to get it working without trouble is to use AMDVLK right now. The performance is not good with this driver though.

I didn't notice a big difference between AMDVLK and Radv, maybe a few less frames here and there (I'm using vsync though).

Same here. I've played for an hour using AMDVLK (credit to Masacre [External Link] ) without any noticeable FPS drop, and no memory leak (system never went above 12GB usage).

Slightly disappointed that the game hardcodes qwerty key mappings (so on my dvorak keyboard it registers ',' as 'w', etc.), shouldn't cause any problems besides any tutorials or QTEs displaying the wrong character, but I thought game devs had progressed past this already.

Edit: played for about five minutes, got an OOM. Game used ~21GB of RAM. Might have more luck when I don't have a Arch build chroot setup in tmpfs taking up an additional 12G of memory but wow. Even the "extreme" system requirements only called for 16GB of memory. Suspect a memory leak, but I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Alas, Steam did not let me know that a game on my wishlist was now available for Linux. It's not even listed on the front page of the store for me. :/

Oh well, GoL doesn't disappoint, thanks for the announcement! I just bought the gold edition, so don't include me in the giveaway.

Here's hoping I find time to play it in the not too distant future. :D

Quoting: GuestI'm sure this is a dumb question (those are all I usually have) but "it seems they will only officially support Ubuntu too" is going to be an issue with people who don't use ubuntu?

All it means is you may need to recreate any bugs you encounter on "Ubuntu 20" (whatever that is) before the official support channel will do anything about it.

If you run steam as steam-native, you may need to install some additional (probably outdated) libraries in order to even run the game. The official support channels will probably be unable or unwilling to help you figure out how and what, so you'll need to figure it out yourself or seek support from the community.

Quoting: KeyrockSo, the game just doesn't work on AMD CPUs? :whistle:

?

AMD GPUs are listed for all four quality levels.

Ah, I can't read. You said CPUs, not GPUs. :whistle:

Quoting: CatKiller

Quoting: ShabbyXFinally a native release that happened because of Stadia.

I'm not sure that this counts as that, tbh. Yes, it was released on Stadia before it was released for Linux, but the prior Metro games were also released for Linux. We do now know that a Stadia release doesn't prevent a Linux release, though.

And yet, fuck stadia. ;)

Awesome, added to my wishlist so hopefully Steam tells me when Linux support is added and/or Liam does a follow up article when it finally drops. :D

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Ahh electron app incoming

It's already an electron app.

Personally I've not touched it since they switched to GTK3 builds.
