Quoting: GirlGamerHere on benchmark with Arch Linux the minimum fps is 39 on high, in game i have several drops sometimes to 9 fps...
The benchmark dont show a real performance on game.
If you're getting a drop to that low then something is wrong with your setup and how it interacts with the game. I'd contact Feral using the details in the pre game launcher so we can get your exact specs as many others on low, high and even unsupported machines get much better performance.

Quoting: edddeduckferalThe library only does what is needed for game specific things like achievements, progress and multiplayer game matching.

I would say posting on this forum or using Steam both will use potentially more user identifiable data than a system used to track how many deer you've shot and other achievement counters. :-)
Im not really talking about being identifiably... but i do wonder what kind of info is trying to gather if it crashes because im running a background vpn.

Opening a socket to call home is bad enough... but what kind of info is trying to gather if it crashes because of the vpn service? I mean, how are they related to opening a socket. Its obviously trying to do more :dizzy:
It really isn't doing any more :) It looks for a valid network connection to connect to Square Enix Online and it doesn't know how to correct deal with a response that a VPN exists on the network list so crashes. We're working with Square Enix to get an updated version of the library that deals with machines that have a VPN setup on Linux correctly.

Quoting: aLThe game keep crashing on me... I have nvidia with latest drivers.

I summited them a bug report... Hopefully they can short it out
Disable your VPN is you have one enabled the game is known to have issues when launched behind a VPN and this has been the cause for a few crashes on launch.
Wow... # systemctl stop openvpn made it work... I dont even redirect any traffic to that vpn...

Not to distrust what this game is trying to do on launch so the vpn makes it crashes... but can i ask you the cause of this?
There is a library called Square Enix Online that is part of the online multiplayer and some of the achievement statistics in the game. This is the first game on Linux with this library so it has a few issues with VPN but we are working with Square Enix to get them resolved so you can play behind a VPN again.

Quoting: voyageurWorkaround for now: disable your VPN when playing!

90 minutes of play time already in, and so far quite good on Ultimate with a GTX970, only a few occasional slow downs in some scenes (mostly with multiple humans - all this hair must really be cpu-intensive, but looks nice)
Thanks, glad you're having fun, please make sure you contact support if you have a VPN so we can keep you all updated with updates.

Just got confirmation from the nice guys at Valve and we should have solved all your download issues if you had a package that didn't correctly update.

Just log out of Steam and back in again and you should be downloading. If you still have issues please email [email protected] and make sure you mention your issue still happens after the Valve package update. :)

Quoting: kellerkindt
Quoting: zebI only have 16GB left. Could it be the reason? How big is it? By the way, the install dialog does not display the size before install, as it should do.
Its said to be a 10-11gb download. Didn't show the size for me too.

EDIT: Which version do you have? I got it through the "Tomb Raider Collection" in 2013.
That version is a Windows bundle with many Windows only games, it appears to not have added Linux depots for TR 2013. We'll be contacting valve to ask them to have a look into it.
