Bioshock Infinite Early Linux Port Report

Well tried it on mine, was quite surprised tbh. Not brilliant mind

Set on 1440p All max, 30-60 . odd drop to 20 on transition of cut scenes. but seem fine/smooth. Did try with the vsync off but jumped all over from 30 to 120 depending where I looked.

290x 14.12
4790k

Quoting: Xeekei
Quoting: pete910To be honest the egosoft ports have worked flawless for me, dont see this been bad.

Quoting: XeekeiConsidering I can't even launch X3: Reunion or Terran Conflict, and that the keyboard doesn't work in Albion Prelude; X Rebirth doesn't have a high bar to clear.
What you running Xeekei ?
Arch Linux 64-bit with Cinnamon desktop.

AMD FX-8350
GTX 670 with Nvidia's proprietary driver. I have 3 monitors plugged in, all are 1080p, but one is 144 Hz.
Worth a shot with just one monitor? Could be the multi-monitor setup causing the problems. Not had a NV card for a while so cant help much.

Well, done first mission of the campaign. It's working well here.

No issues. Have it set at ultra @ 1440p. FPS 70-80. Cut scenes are 110fps (4790k + 290x)

I don't get how the likes of Valve/Aspyr/feral/Metro guys and what not can get games to use AMD GPU's fine but Techland cant :whistle:

Dying Light Major Patch Released, Performance Finally Okay On Linux (UPDATED)
10 Mar 2015 at 7:52 pm UTC

Well after patch it took an age to start first time, seemed to be compiling the shaders I guess.

Good news is it's an improvement from what it was on a 4790k + 290x

It was @ 1024x768 all on low , outside 4-9 fps, looking at floor was 25 ish

After patch @ 1080p all low, outside 30 ish, looking at floor was 80 ish. still not playable.

Still not great but a definite improvement.

To put that into context , Windows (sorry)

1440p all high/max draw distance default , outside 80+ ;)

This was all done out front of tower during day btw.

Edit:

Interesting snippet from the logs I found

INFO: [INFO] > [OpenGL] Adaptive vsync is NOT SUPPORTED

I did ask a AMD rep on OCUK about linux support but got blanked.

Dying Light Massive Patch Due 10th of March, And New DLC
7 Mar 2015 at 11:13 am UTC

It's going to have to be a spectacular patch to be frank for AMD people. I tried all sorts to get it playable on my 290x.

Dropped res down to 1280x1024 alll low, got a massive 9is fps outside......

To put that into context , same machine in windows @ 1440p all maxed bar the draw distance , 90 ish :O (nvidia bits off)

But you never know, they may surprise us, kinda hoping they do. As I feel the problems are from the dev's lack of experience/knowledge of our platform
