Quoting: m2mg2Game locks up with black screen. Tried with 390.48 and 396 Beta drivers. Tried with gamemode enabled and disabled. Started on Fedora 26 and upgraded to 27. Tried with SELINUX in permissive mode. No real useful crash info, just segmentation fault 11.

It seems that the game was developed for Ubuntu 17.10 in mind... I have 14.04.5 LTS and I have the same segmentation fault 11.
I'm gonna experiment with Xubuntu 18.04 and see what happen-

I had the same segmentation fault crash on Ubuntu 16.04 with the 396 beta drivers, I'm now using Ubuntu 18.04 with the 390.48 drivers, Rise is rock solid & I've managed to get 70% of the way through the main storyline with no crashes, the 396 Beta drivers give me the segmentation fault crash even with 18.04.

Even Ubuntu 17.10 with the 396 drivers was a crash fest for Rise, avoid those drivers for the moment, they're obviously broken.

Not quite that simple. For starters, with 390.48 the game gobbles up several gigabytes more memory, which explains some of the problems on systems with only 8 gigs of RAM. For me the 396.18 beta is almost perfect with this game on Mint 18.3, whereas 390.48 caused me to almost give up and wait for a fix.

This problem seems a bit hard to pin down, but I'm sure both Feral and Nvidia are working on it. And I hear it's not perfectly stable for some AMD users either.

Quoting: wojtek88The biggest issue with this hardware is that it will run games meant to be played on bigger screen. It may be hard for many titles to read subtitles, menu items will be small etc.

While I'm sure it won't be a perfect experience, remember that you'll be holding it closer, so this might not be quite as bad as you think.

The SMACH Z looks very slick, but personally I don't think I'd be interested in paying a premium for a handheld, console-like computer.

Quoting: tuubiNo. Make it stop. Please?

I don't see how anyone who experienced '90s Internet would want to remember it, let alone relive it. Dropsy was great, but I don't think my psyche could handle this one.

I remember everything was Active X and used windows media player. I remember using the Active x for mozilla plugin http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download [External Link](which didn't work on linux of course). Using firefox on windows back on those days was already a nightmare, let alone Linux.

Wrong decade. ;) Firefox wasn't around in the nineties.

No, and you're not even the only one who didn't read the thread.

Quoting: throghWow, hey could getting some carrot for what exactly? Making some kind of commercials for the platform while they trash with Ubuntu 14.04 an even supported system? No thanks! Taking some other time to play "monkey business" and ask for some bananas. :sick:

Your sarcastic rambling is a bit hard to decipher, but are you seriously suggesting it's not enough for them to support two of the most recent LTS releases, when most barely support one?

Violets are blue
I love DRM free games
And so do you

Revived an old Internet meme haha.

This "meme" predates the invention of the term, and the Internet, by decades if not centuries. :)

Quoting: GuestRecently on Rise of the Tomb Raider I actually had a hardlock up from it and couldn't even use CTRL-Alt-F4 and had to hard reboot :-\ only game thats done that every other one has been a matter of alt-tab and using system monitor to kill the process

This is a game specific bug I think. If you happen to be on Nvidia and aren't using the latest beta driver, you'll have all kinds of weird problems. I played quite happily with 390.48 for a good while, but finally had to cave and install 396.18 again just to play this one game without (rare) crashes and outrageous memory leaks leading to swapping and stuttering. Too bad the beta driver is worse for almost anything else, even if I force the old shader compiler.

I've had to reboot once with 396.18, but at least the power button accepted short press for safe shutdown. I do hope nvidia releases a new stable soon so I can go back to the stable branch.

Yeah, it's not perfect. I left the game paused for the duration of a long phone call today and when I came back, X was totally unresponsive.

I already own Hacknet. Fun little hacking adventure/puzzler, featuring some decent writing and frantic typing. The Labyrinths DLC adds an extra story arc with a new mechanic, and it's worth playing as well.

I do enjoy DRM free games as much as the next penguin, but I won't be taking part in the giveaway. Good luck everyone. ^_^
