For me, it isn't an issue with low framerate exactly, so much as it's constantly pausing and skipping. Even after bumping everything down a notch from max, turning off SSAO, and AA, it looked like it was running at a smooth 60 FPS, but it still went through that same pausing.

I'm running an i5 4590 with an Asus Geforce 970, 8GB ram. I'm well above spec, only just shy of the recommended. But that pausing...man, it makes it nigh unplayable. Shame too, because I can already tell it's going to be a great game. Just one that's in desperate need of a patch or two.

Though thanks to s8as8a's link, it looks like I can try it out on Windows now, provided I limit the time I spend with it. I'll port my savegame over, install it in Windows, and see how it runs there right fast. Maybe spend about 15-20 minutes with it, balanced against the 1.1 hours I've already spent on it in Linux.

edit: restarting the game got rid of the stutter almost entirely in-mission when I loaded my game up into it. It came back when I returned to base, though it's nowhere near as severe as it was previously.

Cool. I'll make it 4 hours just to be on the safe side. But once I'm past that, I'll break out the framerate counters, and do a quick compare & contrast for you all.

Just figured out how to use GLXOSD, so I'M STOKED!

Out of curiosity, you have to play a game for X amount of hours before it's counted as a Linux sale in Steam, correct?

I ask because I can jump between Windows and Ubuntu, and make a direct comparison of the performance between the two platforms, but I want to make sure this counts as a Linux purchase before I make the attempt.

Bah. I see people on my Steam list playing the game, yet it's telling me I still have to wait 5 hours.

Life is so unfair. :><:

Quoting: EikeNot in my region of the world. :) (It's 49.99€ here - good they don't trade 1:1, which I think they sometimes do.)

Even if they did, it'd still be worth that arm and a leg. :P

$59.99 is what it is, and what it will be on day one. Though if you preorder, you can take advantage of all the coupons floating around right now.

Quoting: scaineVery odd. Thanks for pointing that out though. The article's been updated to remove the DRM reference.

No prob. :D

Though the same thing happened to me when I googled it up. The first link isn't to the game, but the wishlist. The only reason why I kept looking past that was because I vaguely recalled seeing it on GOG's front page back when it first came out.

It up on GOG, so the DRM-free promise looks to already be covered.

Dark Souls 3!

...which it probably isn't, but I can hope, damnit!
