Quoting: JSVRamirezMy EnhancedSteam puts a banner on the game's page saying;
"Warning: This title uses 3rd party DRM"

Can anyone give some more detail about this?

Yes it's a very fast game, but the graphics look damn good.
I play it often times. when I feel like it.

Don't forget it's an Alpha Realese and on some Maps have Placeholder textures.
For a good grafic you shoud set the graficsettings to the maximun.

- NVIDIA will support vulkan on Linux
- Driver support will be starting from GTX 400
- Driver will be mixed with OpenGl, so both can be used at the same time

Great News :) Thx for sharing.

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...

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.
