Rise of the Tomb Raider has a new opt-in beta to help with NVIDIA issues

Quoting: buckysrevengeI'm still on the drivers that came in the latest SteamOS (387.something) and this beta resolved my main issue which was the cutscenes would grind the game to a halt. Thank you, Feral!
I haven't seen any problem, except for an almost unnoticable error in some shaders.
I am running 387.22-0+steamos17+bso2 on a zotac sn970 (gtx960).
I do switch to full performance before starting the game though...

But maybe the problem is with newer cards?
No, I think the crucial difference is that he has 8GB of ram and you have 16GB. As I said in the other thread, the game eats several gigs more memory on the old shader compiler. It'll "grind to a halt" when it starts swapping, or just crashes if there's no swap space available.

I completed the game yesterday and haven't tried the new beta. Maybe it's better now. But it was already almost perfect for me on 396.18.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoLinux depots activity detected [External Link]

Maybe Feral woke up and decided to fix this game..
No, more like they finally have something that's ready for testing. Steam isn't a version control system. You'll only see depot activity when they're ready to push something for testing or release. Actual work happens elsewhere, and it'd be almost insulting to assume they've been sitting on their hands until now.

Does this happen on 396 drivers?
I haven't seen anything like that on either driver. You could try fiddling with your game config?

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 ](http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download )(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.
