I got to the eighth level. So second level of the third commander/sector whatever.

Quoting: MacabreHeartApart from significantly better graphics what can this do for me that OpenRCT2 can't? Serious question cause I do have a fondness for these sorts of games and would definitely be willing to buy a new one if it gave me a good reason to.

A better interface, supported by the developers, doesn't require a Windows game. To name but a few.

Quoting: SnowdrakeCan you post your hardware setup ? I'm getting similar results than you (amd fx8150, Nvidia GTX 770) while some people are reporting better framerate under linux.

The setup was in the article but maybe it wasn't clear enough, have tried to make it clearer now.

Quoting: neowiz73it's to be expected though, since the game was originally developed for directx and not opengl.

Murdering folks in The Culling, early Linux & SteamOS port report and some quick thoughts

Yeah Xpander I never saw any stuttering or hitching myself, just the FPS drops in places but it was smooth overall. The major issue is the UI dying on you.
