BioShock Infinite Released For Linux, Thanks To Virtual Programming

Quoting: LinasI was a skeptical when I heard that this is an eON port (is it, really?), but they must have done something right because it runs very well on high settings on my laptop with NVIDIA Quadro K1100M. Whereas Witcher 2 has (had?) horrible input lag, even on lowest settings, on the same machine.

I have to take that back. The input lag is not as bad as Witcher 2, but it is there. It seems that input lag is the "defining feature" of eON.

It is not available on Steam, even though it was indicated on Humble Bundle that it does. They updated the list of Steam platforms to exclude Linux now.

When I got to the action scenes, I did start noticing the input lag. It is not nearly as bad as Witcher 2, but it is definitely there. I am playing on Quadro K1100M which is no that powerful, but it can definitely handle the graphics. Just the damn input lag messing up otherwise great experience.

Unfortunately I am just getting a segfault:

XRebirth[18395]: segfault at 7f85d875bbb0 ip 0000000000f15de3 sp 00007fff39d65f48 error 6 in XRebirth[400000+160d000]

Nothing really useful in the backtrace either. Any ideas?

Quoting: tony1abI am on a permanent boycott of the company who made the ubiplay DRM system. A pity. It looked good.

Which company is that?

Quoting: LinasI was quite young when I saw Alien for the first time. It freaked me out so much that I woke up that night screaming in my fathers arms. He was like "There is no way in hell you are watching the second one.", and I replied "Are you kidding? That was awesome!", and went back to sleep.

And have you been allowed to? :)

Of course! No way I was going to miss it. :P

Since then it is kind of hard to scare me, but Amnesia succeeded. Although I found Penumbra games to be more captivating, or maybe thrilling is the word. :)

Speculation: BioShock Infinite Might Be an eON port

Quoting: liamdaweBad vibrations around eON, where to start? To put it simply it was broken at release for most, and is still terrible for a lot of people.

While I am officially anti eON, I am willing to be proven wrong. I mean, the engine of Witcher 2 is different enough from BioShock Infinite that results from one do not necessarily apply to the other. That is considering that there is nothing fundamentally broken. One can only hope...
