I don't like this Linux website rivalry and bashing.
We should pull together.
In the same direction.

Quoting: wvstolzingI wonder whether there'll be any improvement with respect to texture pop-in, which is awful right now on my system (gtx970, 361.28 drivers).

Disable level streaming. Your HDD is slow for some reason probably.

I'm getting occassional texture popin from SSD.
(Will still try your tip.)

Quoting: Mountain ManAnd I had some guy on the Steam forums yesterday trying to convince me that Linux gaming was never going to happen. Guess he hadn't kept up with current events.

I had one yesterday claiming that it might happen some day. I'm answering those that to me, Linux gaming gives me more to play than I have time for it - it's just a smaller stack of shame.

My current stack has some more hours of
* Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna
* Grid: Autosports
... and not yet begun:
* Alien: Isolation
* Shadowrun Hong Kong
* XOM 2
* Divinity: Original Sin
Even with two hours a day, which I hardly have time for, that would be at least two months of gaming, I guess.

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLFor now The Talos Principle on Vulkan is only wrapped... Nothing interested in performance state.

They wrapped "engine design around Vulkan", not Vulkan around OpenGL or something. All fine.

Quoting: YasserGreat news, but will need to download again or come by updates?

There's already an update in the public beta branch available (it does not yet support Vulkan on Linux, as said - in a few days though).

The nvidia drivers with beta Vulkan support have got the version number 355.00.26, my Debian drivers have got 355.11 - so should Vulkan already be included? Or is there some number confusion (like a ".00" too much)? Is there any easy way to query if the driver supports Vulkan?

Quoting: SamsaiThe Vulkan renderer for Talos Principle isn't on Linux yet. Hopefully that will arrive soon.

It will, they say!

The first one was a great one! (...and my first game on Linux AFAIR!)
Very friendly online community!

Quoting: zebYes, it seems very likely. But this only applies when LC_ALL is set. Other LC_ do not pose a problem, even if set to a non-English locale.

Does setting LC_ALL to C solve it as well?
