Just to be sure, remember that for some settings to be applied you need to restart the game (if you want to try lower textures for example).
Yep, I tried that because I also just updated to the driver I mentioned and rebooted to try it. If no one else is experiencing this, maybe it's some configuration issue I have in Ubuntu, since exact same hardware has no issues in Windows.

Quoting: dawidd6I'm little dissapointed with performance of this game. When i've played it on windows right after release, i could run the game smooth on high/medium with pretty stable fps. On linux i'm running it on low with unstable fps. I hope there will be an update fixing the performance.
Are you playing on Nvidia? In most cases we are in a similar range to Windows level performance so if you think you have a very large delta please let us know so we have investigate.

Thank You
I'm getting frequent dips in framerate as well. It generally runs very well, even on high/ultra settings. I can get above 60 fps, but when I turn the camera or sometimes when fighting, it will dip as low as 35 fps, which is a pretty noticeable jump. I didn't have that problem on Windows. It seems kind of random. I can't reproduce it with any consistency. Even dropping all settings to lowest doesn't stop it.

So, do we all agree the "special" announcement is Evolve?

I'm guessing WB is cracking down on their porting contractors and will probably put Feral's Shadow of Mordor through extra quality assurance testing to avoid another Arkhan Knight fiasco.

Victor Vran Says Goodbye To Early Access, Hello To Being Awesome

In case you haven't noticed, the voice of Victor Vran is the same voice as The Witcher. You're welcome. :)

They're promising some really awesome free DLC, like a randomly generated map and local Co-op. This great game will only get even better with time.

Ergo this has more to do with Birmingham, or libraries, than the Koran or islam?

The original image from Feral was a scan of "A Thousand and One Nights," which predates the advent of Islam, so it's not directly related to the Qur'an or Islam. If it is related to anything Arabic or Persian though, any game about the Middle East (including Assassin's Creed) or Central/South Asia is a possibility. Many say the original story came from India or Persia rather than Arabia. But that's probably too easy of a guess. I'm sticking with the Witcher 3 because I want it more. :)
This is not true. The image posted by Feral is from the Islamic era, well after the advent of Islam. Also, the "A Thousand and One Nights" book is a collection of folklore tales that predates Islam, but collecting them into one book with this specific name happened in the Islamic era. However, none of this has anything to do with the Koran. I am guessing the game in question is Prince of Persia.
I didn't say the manuscript predated the "Islamic era." I meant the stories from it did (many of them, anyway).
