I hope that it's being pushed in the next few hours... can't wait. :D

Oh yes!
Quest for Infamy was an excellent game with a humor to match. Definitely they have made a name for themselves and I'm sold as long as there is a Linux version. :P

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: Samsai

Quoting: ZeloxI hope this game will be streamed on friday. Might toon in then :D

Oh no...

OH YES :D

Oh double yes! :D

That's the game I've yearned for a long time now and I'm so glad I haven't even tested it with Wine.
Definitely a must-buy, and definitely, a must-play for Samsai on the stream... with headphones on and lights out! (no cheating!!!) :D

More features on the application 3d department would be nice, like forcing vsync on/off. Probably can be done via cli but definitely should be present in the driver settings manager just like in windows.

But I would give away every setting just to get a performance boost... oh Vulkan, come fast and stay strong.

Looks so much better than BF:Hardline (personal preference), will buy once it hits the release and performance reviews are out.

Yep, rage against Bioshock's sale... :D
But in all seriousness, I'd buy that game rather for a full price anyway given how well it behaves under eOn.

Ok, I admit it... I have given in...
I did not want to get this game as the concept provides 0 interest for me personally, but seeing as Linux gets such fist-class patching treatment, I had to, I got the deluxe. And now that I have it, I shall give it a spin.
What I do find interesting in this game is the water system and how one can manipulate it.

Does anyone know if there are any benchmarking tools available for this game as well? (doubtful but worth to ask) :)

Used to pirate games back in the day quite a bit... but for the past 4-5 years, now that I have a reasonable job, I've not pirated a single game. A huge part of it is Linux support and the other part is probably good online review channels... watching 3-5 reviews of one game gives a pretty good picture of the title to either spend the money on or not.

Hmm, so here are my rants after running through 35min of the game.

Performance is OK. It is nowhere near as good as it was on windows, however it is playable. I get 30-60fps on Ultra preset. This would not be an issue at all, however, since using the "framelock" option in the graphics menu produces horrible mouse lags and without the lock mouse is good... but the tearing is then really "next-gen" horror-story.
Also noticed that when trying to force "__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1" to the executable, it will not run at all - simply gives out ~0.2sec audio and a blank screen, so nothing to test there.
Additionally, a weird thing that I think I have only encountered with eOn wrappers (TW2), is that 5.1 surround will not upmix from the stereo that the game runs on, so whenever I will play this game, I will have to switch the sound system back to stereo, rewire and reconfigure. On the same note, I noticed that while using Kubuntu's gstreamer backend, there is just no audio output whatsoever - switching to an openbox session (as I do and recommend anyone to do as well), audio works just fine... on stereo.

In conclusion, the game actually runs better than I expected. I thought it would be a 10-25fps mess while maxed out on my humble gaming rig, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how far eOn has cometh. I only hope that they continue to polish this "port" out for even better experience, but nontheless, I shall be completing this game as it is... as it is a decent game after all.

And as a final note, I am happy to say that Finally I heard my GTX770 actually doing some work under linux. So far it has never reached a point where the fans on this badboy have starter to exercise more than just idling around.

Here are my specs if anyone is interested how it performs on what hardware:
AMD Phenom X4 965BE @3.4GHz
2x2GB DDR2 noname (possibly ADATA) random RAM
128GB Samsung SSD
nVidia GeForce GTX770 4GB using 346.47 prop. drivers

EDIT:
Also pretty big pop-ins are a common sight in this wrapped up candy. :)
