Quoting: KallestofelesIf you kept reading you would note the section mentioning I have been in contact with them about the performance.PerformanceI wonder if they know about this and if they're checking what was patched so they could revert whatever it is that started hogging down the performance.
Performance wise it’s a little bad, as I was originally getting around 100FPS on High settings, and then a patch a couple days before release nerfed it down to around 30FPS, and this is on an Nvidia 970. Having the level of detail set to Very High makes it even worse, and does make it very sluggish when you zoom in, so the game is a bit of a hog.
But I guess that's where we stand with OpenGL, a lot of driver overhead and a pain to optimize. I have my fingers and toes crossed for Vulkan.

Quoting: N30NIf enemy units & buildings didn't produce light, they could then scrap the "fog of war". I think that'd work much better.What would be the point in that? You would never see anything then.

Quoting: LeonardKWhat? nVidia allows switching the graphics cards? Since when? What driver version do you have?It seems to use Nvidia-prime from what I can tell, and it works quite well.
Currently being back at nouveau which at least works - kinda.

I am also rather sceptical, and will wait until I see it. No point giving them any more screen-time on GOL until they mention it without being asked.

If anything, we want DirectX to live, but have it open, so that way it can be on Linux and bring all the older titles with it with less porting involved ;)

Quoting: FutureSutureDoes this mean that games like Borderlands 2 could still receive PhysX support on Linux?Only if Aspyr were willing to update their port for it.

Quoting: GuestGot to love Gabe, that choice of words "I work at Valve" just shows he isn't an arrogant prick (am I allowed to say that word here? )It was tasteful, so yes, I will allow it. I thought it was cool of him to say it too.
For any typical businessman it would be "I'm the co-founder and CEO at Valve"
Gabe for president!
