Prepare A New Set Of Pants, Outlast Releases For Linux On Tuesday
2 Apr 2015 at 4:01 pm UTC

Oulast ran very bad on my system (quad core, GTX660, 8 GB), which is well over the recommended specs (GTX460).
I had 12 fps in the main menu(!) and about 10 in the opening scene in the car.
Today they've pushed an update - not even two days after the first bug reports about glitches and less than one day after mine- which is supposed to fix the glitches and for sure fixed my problem. I'm getting 60 fps in menu and in game now.
Hurray!

Quoting: GuestDid you use a Windows partition for gaming last month?
Exclusively for games, not other purposes.

Yes
No
I don't have a Windows partition
This is a really poorly framed question. (It's confusing to parse for a start.) If your primary desktop is Windows, how do you respond?
If you used it for gaming as well, yes, if not, no.

Quoting: WorMzyI'm enjoying the game so far. But if these graphical issues persist, I can't see myself getting too immersed.
Thanks for the info!
I fear a single glitch could really spoil the experience for me, and other Linux & Nvidia users are reporting the same on the Steam forum [External Link].
Too bad, I'd have some free time the next days...
I still have Among The Sleep to play, but I guess it's not equally dangerous for the pants. ;)

Quoting: GuestNothing about if the review was done on Linux or Windows or both and what performance was like, so I asked on Youtube.
KF2 isn't released yet....

If you're referring to PCGamer. Of course they did it on Windows and not Linux.
Someone is a Negative Nancy. Since they're releasing for both platforms, you have no clue, they could have played on either one.
Sorry if that's bad news for you, but if someone doesn't tell you on what he has played a PC game, and if he's not specialized on Linux, you can bet that he has tested the Windows version.
Windows has been for a long time, still is, and probably will be for some time the default for the vast majority of PC players.

Of course, we all would love to see that change.
