You all knows, thats users reports SoM runs only on one CPU Core?

And thats INTEL CPU owners.

I have the AMD Phenom II X4 960T unlocked to X6 1600T @ 3,8 GHz and SoM runs on all Cores.

For testing i will run the benchmark to night on all settings low -> ultra) and than i will post it here.
Check self if SoM runs only on one CPU Core on your system or if it use all cores.

Valve shows how to do it. Valve indeed put a wrapper, but sitting in the Engine and then Valve turn it into a native port.

Quoting: DissCentI also have mixed feelings about VP. In general, I didn't have any crashes in BioShock so far (but I'm not through the whole game yet). But my critics are that the game has stuttering all the time when loading new areas or when spawning after level loading - that's really annoying. I also fear that companies just give their games to VP to bring them to Linux rather then making a real port which is always more stable and faster in performance (or at least should be, when ported good),

Same here in BioShock.

Yes i have 3 VP Ports:
Witcher 2, Spec Ops and BioShock.

The performance is not the best.

BioShock:

1. See the quote.
2. BioShock crashed my System or the Game self chrashed. Fix for the system crashes: reduce the Graficsettings.
After level changes the game crashed back to desktop.

Spec Ops:
performance problem, but i played not long to say more.

Witcher 2:

Works, but on my settigs not great.

Ok with wine i have the performance problems, too (half FPS on Linux. Exemple: 90 FPS on Win = 45 FPS on Linux)

Thats the reason why i prefer native ports.

Best regards

Peter

Quoting: silverphil...

in the system requirements it says DirectX: 11, and it has DX10/GL3-capable cards as minimum requirements, though maybe you 're still right since Dirt 3 has DX9 fallback, but idk.

...

OK, so you are right and im right.
I hate devs and Publisher, who not hold their entries standardised.

Quoting: silverphil...

How many racing games on Linux have real cars and (somewhat) realistic handling??

Currently I know none.
But full FFB is also for this game a must have.

FFB supports on Linux for wheels at this time only one effect.
I'll check this again, whether there already what has changed.

lol i dont see many poor reviews: 1029/249 and 8.5 rating on Eurogamer, it's only the long time Codemasters fans that hated the game and don't forget we don't have many such racers on Linux...

...

We got more racers on Linux if FFB works full on all wheels.

[quote=silverphil][quote=wojtek88][quote=silverphil]

Quoting: wojtek88...

and it needs Direct3D11 so it doesn't run through Wine (yet... probably)

...

Really? It has a fallback to DX 9. See the minimum System Requirements.

Quoting: Beta VersionNot VP again =(. Another game that i will never buy.

Me, too :(

really? :dizzy:

The only realistic chance we have of older games being ported quickly and cheaply is for EON/VP. Its not a trend for new titles, most AAA are native and when Vulcan is out they probably all will be.

would you turn down a near perfect port of Skyrim using Eon with full workshop compatibility ?

Yes realy. If i will use warppers i can use Wine or CrossOver.
OK this Game in the highest settings RECOMMENDED DX 11.

If the game runs smoothly with a similar system (http://www.sysprofile.de/id161813 [External Link] German site), I think about it again.
