Can't fault the roccat stuff, Mrs got me a XTD (2013) for my birthday, then got me a iskufx to go with it at xmass(2013) :D

Ok, I hinted a bit by pointing out the driver support plus looking at reviews :whistle:

Just updated Mageia rpm with the help of one of their forum contributors as he has a XTD too( he did the initial rpm). Works real well, Have only a few buttons configured(There's bloody loads) Handy in borderlands and what not .

Treated my lad to the ryos MK glow iirc and a Tyon(spelling) this past xmass .
Weird looking mouse to me, but my lad loves it. So suppose that what matters. and yes he runs *nix too :)
His only gripe is it don't change colour like mine :D . Well I have to have something different don't I :P

Wasn't being snappy Mohandevir, just don't feel its a distro problem as such, especially as other games are running fine.
Going on the steam forum posts it seems to be AMD in general :( Steam post here [External Link]

Could be fun, going to splash out on the new civ game. Wonder what that will run like. Should be fine being a Aspyr port. Not sure if it's my cup of tea though. But Linux support and all that!!!!

mmm, Me a *buntu dont get along tbh. Am old school Mandrake user :D

Have tried the debian based distro's before and not had the best experience with them. To be frank I can't be arsed drive/distro hopping. The rest of my games do run fine all be it not on par with there windows counterparts.

The Roccat stuff is good I've found, the reason I chose them is because of the driver support they have thanks to Stefan Achatz that wrote the driver. Though I believe Roccat now helps him now.

Oh, and thanks for the comment of my setup ^_^ Took me and age to do....

Quoting: HonorEDnlKThere are two user.cfg files, one is located in the game folder and the other one is where your saved games are, try editing your resolution on that one and it should work, there are other interesting configurations like tessellation but I haven't tried if it works yet. It seems that the game also runs at your native resolution so try changing your desktop's resolution before running the game.

I was getting smooth gameplay but I've reached open areas where the drop is noticeable, I'll have to lower my settings but I think that the Linux port still needs to be optimized.

Did both at the same time to make sure, Still no good. I know perf is crap on AMD compared to windows but I get the feeling this game just don't like AMD GPU's . Well in *nix anyway

Quoting: omer666You should definitely try setting SSAA to 0.5, it would render the game half you current resolution then upscale it to 1440p.

That just makes it worse :'(

Quoting: HonorEDnlKI have a 270x myself and moved from open source drivers to 14.06 drivers, and now I just updated to 14.12 omega drivers and I can already tell it runs a LOT better, specially faster loading times, try updating your drivers Pete910, it might help.

My only problem was having startup crashes due to my previous video settings before the update, so for those having startup crashes, try deleting / reverting settings in the user.cfg file. There are two files but you're looking for a copy made into your save folder (the one with the gibberish name)

I updated a previous post regarding the user.cfg file too if you want to change resolutions. I'm gonna start over to compare performance / graphics, I've read a few forum threads on the web praising FPS increments.

All ready on the omega drivers. Might try a remove and re-install though.

Quoting: omer666What is your SSAA setting? Turning it to 0.5 could help...

It's off :'(

May be it's because its running 1440p, Set different res in the user.cfg and it makes no difference.

I'll have a mess and see what I can do. Might be something else causing it I suppose.

Well! I can say it runs crap on a 290x :'( Shame really. Bought it as I didn't have 2033 only last light.

Old gen last light plays fine. Fired up 2033 redux and its a slide show on medium. Tried the benchmark.sh to see what it was doing. erm... Is a massive 11fps good enough :whistle:

That's on the new 14.12 drivers too.
