Quoting: edddeduckferal

Quoting: silverphilIs it mandatory to install nvidia-352 or can i get away with nvidia-331 (preferably) or nvidia-346 without issues or performance problems?
I have a GT 650M.

If you don't run at least those drivers everyone will look like smurfs (all blue), stability should be ok but those drivers are pretty old so your performance stability will vary.

I'd highly recommend using the supported drivers or newer.

I've also got a GT 650M with the nvidia-346 from the official Ubuntu 14.04 sources. nvidia-352 only seems available for me if I use the xorg-edgers PPA or the nvidia binary download, would you recommend using the Xedgers PPA?

I did mess up my system by the non-standard PPA once , so perfect would be a Feral PPA or if they put their recommended source of 352.22+ online.

Quoting: PangachatI hope it's a new teaser :P

Most epic one-liner ever!

To be seriously, I don't believe its SoM, cause its not in the nearest schedule according to the feral radar.

Quoting: ChristopherWereThat being said, I wonder what has more of a consumer impact, purchasing a game and getting it refunded or not purchasing it at all.

In the second case the devs see how much money they loose, so it is clear to me.

Quoting: InokiWith this configuration on Windows I can run the game nicely on around 80 FPS, zero lag, full details.

On Linux I have to lower settings below medium and still can't get past 25 FPS on average with terrible lag spikes, frame drops to 1. I even use Xfce for lower resource usage.

This example has to suffice.

Note: I've tried proprietary drivers, they break my system.

Prop. driver give me comparable performance, too bad they dont work for you.

Maybe a job for Feral. According to their radar, they must run out of work in the near future.

Bought! Never played it, played Jedi Academy instead.

Quoting: ad1217I strongly suspect (and hope) that it is Shadows of Mordor, as that was supposed to be a Spring release, but kept on being pushed back.

99.999% not, as this will be a Feral port. There are so many games possible, so i dont take a guess.

Quoting: liamdaweLet's try and keep it cool, remember it's a game, and Postal is just as bad...

Edit: By bad, I mean violence wise.

You can play Postal 2 as "Pacifist", killing nobody at all. Video games are just as violent as you are.

Quoting: gojulSame here, they're teasing, teasing, but nothing happens. It would be fine they release their ports first. :'( Shadow of Mordor was expected to be published in Spring.

You are right. There have been 5++ teasers of new games since the last actual game release. I don't really wait for SoM so I hope that they might skip it, cause there are lots of interesting games in the pipeline.

I can remember a time when the radar had 1 to 2 entries per section. Its great that there are lots of games coming to Linux, but they probably have too much work for too few developers.

Finally, I've been waiting for that for months. Linux version made no ingame problems but not having achievements sucked a bit.

Quoting: MaelraneSo if it's not a port, what is it? A little hint, a port is a port, no matter if it's native or not.

I wouldn't consider it a port if its native and in-house. Then the Win version is just a pre-release to test if its worth coming to Linux :D
