Saints Row IV now available on SteamOS and Linux
22 Dec 2015 at 1:11 am UTC

Quoting: LeerdeckPlayed a little more than an hour.

i5-3350P (3.10Ghz)
GTX 650 Ti BOOST (nvidia driver 358.16)
8GB DDR3
Ubuntu Gnome 15.10

Average FPS: 60 - 70 on "middle"
That's a good average, but what is the lowest it goes? Are there any significant drops in framerate?

Nvidia GTX 970
8 GB of RAM
Installed on SSD

I get 150 FPS or so on the ship (hope that's not a spoiler), 50 to 65 when walking around in Steelport. When I jump or sprint, it can dip as low as 33.

Keep in mind, this is a game that can get a constant 60 FPS on Windows with a midrange card like a GTX 660 and almost everything maxed out.

Also, I don't think it's very helpful when people post "works great for me" but don't include any actually stats. What's "great" for you might not be for others. So please tell us your frames per second.

Meh, I doubt it will happen. I'd rather have Rebel Galaxy or Starpoint Gemini 2 anyway.

I'm getting framerate drops on my 970. I even have it installed on my solid state drive, still not a constant framerate.

Memory corruption: as in they made everyone forget they were even making a port? :D

Rocket League facing a delay for the SteamOS & Linux version, no 2015 release (updated)

I can't blame them, it will probably give them more income right now, but I do wish developers would stop promising one platform, then side-lining it for another.
If that's their actual reason for delaying it, I certainly can blame them. They've already made $50 million [External Link] on this game. If greed is their only motivation, then they're not very honorable.

I'm hoping the reason is, like most good games that get delayed, they need more time to polish it rather than releasing something that is buggy and half-working.

Gabe can't be happy with this news. I wonder if they have some kind of contract with Valve that gave them a deadline.

I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read this. That would've been a mess. This is pretty amazing considering they're not even making an Xbox One version. I almost feel sorry for Microsoft...nah!

Quoting: eigensinnigA question to those who already bought the bundle: Is it possible to play the roms with other emulator than the provided? I am thinking of mame.
Yes, the roms are freely available in the install directory, and they work with other emulators.
