/ctrl + F Racing
DOH!!!!
Really disappointed with the lack of racing games on linux. I am really looking forward to SS4 though.

If they can get performance on DL to match DI with the most recent patch, then I'm exited. I'm 20 hours in on DL though, so I'm probably close to finishing it.

Which safe zones can't you secure?
Every safe zone I've tried to secure seems to have been secured.
I've only played about 6 hours though.
I think the issues with the game are to do with cpu optimisations, as toggling graphic settings barely affects performance for me, and my cpu appears to only run at 50% at most.

Quoting: z1lt0idDisabling the shadowing as much as it may improve performance makes the game look like utter crap unfortunately and really removes the mood of the game.

It still looks pretty good IMO. A lot better than Dead Island, and maybe my standards have dropped but I don't notice the missing shadows.
The game does need to be patched. The performance is truly unacceptable but, with that said I'm still enjoying the game a lot and as long as it runs at or above 30fps it's more than playable thought obviously it could and should be better.

Here's a clip I took of the flashing clouds which only happens when I set textures to high.

Shows that overall the game looks pretty good and runs well with sun and cloud shadows disabled.

My Graphic card's lack of memory bandwidth is probably to blame for the flashing clouds, being a GTX770 with 4gb of ram and at high textures it uses over 3gbs, it hovers at just over 2gb on medium and clouds don't flash.

I'm getting good performance by disabling sun shadows and cloud shadows. I have vsync in kwin enabled so no tearing and I'm getting 30fps+ most of the time (some parts it has dipped to 22fps). I haven't encountered the bug where you can't secure safe zones. Every safe zone I've reached I've been able to make safe.
I'm running at 3440X1440. Maxing out everything doesn't seem to have much of a performance hit. I have textures set to medium though as I was getting flashing clouds at max, and draw distance set to minimum.
I do hope they do improve performance, as it is a very good game. I didn't much like Dead Island but, this is a whole different game with better everything.
That blur when running also needs to go, it's just terrible.
Issues I have apart from performance;
Swap being utilised - not sure if it's a problem.
Random textures pop into view - eg. I've had full trees just flash infront of me for a brief second, even though no tree is supposed to be there, walls too.
GTX770 4gb/Xeon 1231V3/8gigarams.

Quoting: linuxslackerat $72 US or $97 US with season pass in Australia i wont be forking out for this. would like to buy it but with the "Australia" tax its just too much(even without its quite a pricy game) hopefully one day game makers wont rip people off for where they live

hopefully it will be in the next sales the game does look fun

Agreed. I'd love to support this effort but apart from being more expensive than the us store, it also has a season pass which to me feels like you are paying full price for half a game if you don't purchase the season pass. For sure I will purchase it, but when its on sale. The only game I plan to purchase at full price regardless of season pass will be serious sam 4.
