Figured out my problem with the framerate, vsync to blank was enabled in settings for some reason (I disabled it earlier). Now, it works great.

Demo didn't run very well on my system, was getting a constant 16 fps, which was odd, and it made even the menus hard to navigate.

Hopefully this also includes performance patches for the game as well

Quoting: Mountain ManWhat do you expect them to say? "We're testing the port, and it sucks"? Not likely.

They could have said "no new information" like most do. This sounds much more promising.

The game has had Linux support from the beginning...

Quoting: Linux tayshadyYou guys are being brats. The game will come eventually maybe not on schedule for the SteamOS release but I wouldn't be so sure it's cancelled altogether, just wait and see. Pretty much never say never kinda situation, if they showed interest in SteamOS enough to say they're making a port I think that's a very good start.

Also I loved the original Gauntlet and when this game will be ready for SteamOS I'll buy it then. :) I mean what about games like Divinity Original Sin, Giana Sisters, Darksiders 1 and 2, Homefront, Saint's Row, etc. that have a Linux port promised for a while now and still haven't shown up? When they come out are you going to refuse to buy them because the developer pretty much broke some arbitrary promise of a schedule? That's ridiculous the developers aren't God they can't just make things happen, especially these smaller development teams of a few people. If they have interest I guarantee you when the opportunity arises to make a SteamOS version they will.

The developers said themselves that it was cancelled. And promises of a schedule should be adhered to if they want to be taken seriously with their promises.

I would rather support the developers who are actually releasing on Linux and are good at communicating with their userbase.

It's been a year since any news on Darksiders, so it seems like the effort is dead. I believe the second homefront was the one coming to Linux, and it hasn't released yet.

I'll believe it when I see it. So far, haven't been impressed with Larian. At least they are planning on releasing the new edition for free, which helps.

That's what they said last week...

They said in one of their blog posts that source 2 is built from the ground up with OpenGL support (no wrappers and the like), so that's good news

Quoting: chrisq

Quoting: Segata SanshiroEDIT: Refunding games from over 14 days ago didn't work for me... I feel like I should get my money back for Eador: Masters of the Broken World and Dying Light, since the former never ran on Linux at all (despite saying it did) and the latter is still very broken. I would re-purchase both these games if they were playable, but they're just not night now.

Dying Light isn't any more broken than that I finished it with good performance and no serious issues on linux.
This was even before the performance patch.

If you keep trying to play AAA's on linux using amd drivers, you've asked for it IMO.
It's a well known mine field because of the horrendously crappy drivers.

That said I hope amd gets their act together eventually, I'd happily buy them if they worked well, I'd even prefer them.

Still pretty sub-par performance on Nvidia card for Dying Light, compared to Windows. Considering how well other games work on this system, it's still the fault of the developers.
