Quoting: Glog782.) Pillars of Eternity is one of the best unity games on linux up to date and it already was when they first released it. It's one of the few unity games which maintain 60+ fps even on highest settings on my rig (very uncommon). They must had done a lot to secure this. It even runs better than the current build of Wasteland 2. In the documentation you see that they even tweak their game using a gpu debuggers just to make it running smooth. I for myself wouldn't wonder if they crushed their selfset limit (so the investment was higher than the return in their eyes) for a port. At this point i only hope that they trust their new knowledge and for future tittles on linux make sure to avoid most of the issues they had with Pillars of Eternity.

Can you tell me your build? I can barely get above 40 fps in my game despite being over the recommended settings.

Quoting: CybolicSecond is the engine. Had it not been for Mac and Linux, Obsidian would have likely used their own engine for the game, the one they used for Dungeon Siege 3, in fact they said so in one of the videos early in to the project. We can probably neglect the licensing fee for Unity, since it;s not all that expensive and that type of money is pocket change for a company the size of Obsidian, but there is the time and effort for them to learn an engine they hadn't used before, rather than using their own engine which they all knew well.

I specifically remember obsidian saying they were done using their engine because of how expensive the middleware was. Mac and Linux support was a big reason why they used Unity, but they were going to move to Unity regardless of whether they supported mac and linux or not.

So much hate here. They were just answering a question honestly.

Quoting: sleortBefore anyone starts bashing about why I would get a FuryX for Linux, I must say I don't care what you think of it. I choose to invest where I think the better *future* is.Therefore I keep my right to speak up and against the consolinux that is going on where developers only support one hardware manufacturer.

You knew what you were getting into when you bought an AMD card. I agree that developers need to do their part, but so does AMD.

The developers are taking the criticism pretty well. I got to commend them for that.

Quoting: HadBabitsColor me shocked :O ... actually, no, color me not at all surprised (it's a shade of orange-red, btw :whistle: ) Seriously, Techland has only ever proven to be a sub-par game developer at best; this is not to say everything they make is completely awful, but they never seem to care about getting higher acclaim than "Meh, it's okay, with some caveats". Sure, they've got a couple popular zombie games, but am I the only one who thinks it's just because it's a functional, AAA-ish, open world zombie game, and that's appealing to a lot of people regardless of quality? (Though I'll admit that they did somewhat better with Dying Light over it's predecessor) I'm just done with Techland, it's too frustrating. I'll eagerly await Dead Island 2; which was responsibly taken from Techland and given to Yeager.

*Deep breaths* Okay, well I'm good now, but I'll leave you with an EC video about a game I had no idea Techland made, so I got a hearty laugh when the name came up :D

Just because you don't like their games doesn't means their aren't good games to other people. No need to be a fanboy.

I tried to get into this game a few days ago, but its using the same old boring Batman Arkham battle system that other AAA games use. I'm honestly sick of the same boring button mashing until counter type system. I ended up refunding the game to buy Shadowrun Hong Kong instead. I guess I'll use the rest of the money to buy Pillars of Eternity expansion.

Quoting: GuestJust to clarify: the issues with AMD cards are not the fault of the drivers. For whatever reason (time, experience of people involved, etc), Shadow of Mordor is just a shitty port. Like it or not, it is the fault of Feral.

Or you can stop being a fanboy for once and just accept that AMD drivers aren't there yet.

Quoting: aristoriasit is really sad to see the linux world completely focus on nvidia/intel.
We already have an intel monopoly and the same will happen with nvidia.
Everybody has some kind of responsibility, especially reporters - free or not.
Why? Free enterprise! Just saying ...

You mean dedication, like say, jump starting the entire Vulkan initiative? Obviously you haven't heard about Mantle, and what AMD have done with that.

"Obviously" you didn't read my post correctly nor did you watch the video. What does Mantle being related to Vulkan or even the creation of Mantle have to do with their dedication to linux?
