This reminds me of Reus.

Quoting: EmazzaAlmost had no impact to me in what I'm building (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 20th, 22nd district of Vienna)

As I lived in the 3rd and 4th for some time I'm curious how your copy looks like. Would you mind sharing a few screenshots of it?

@performance: It's really an issue for me. I actually stopped playing the game since i'm not able to scroll smoothly across my city (on a GTX970). At first I thought - no problem... but the bigger the city grows the more annoying the sluggish performance gets.

Wow. This is really disappointing. I wasted hours trying to install the last few issues of fglrx on my secondary pc (gladly changed my primary pc's card for a nvidia) on Xubuntu 14.04 with recent kernel (and had no success eventually)... and now I read that the newes driver again only supports "outdated" kernels. Seems they'll never get it done.

On the other hand - the open source radeon driver is in a really good condition at the moment and I don't feel like I'll ever have to try installing fglrx again (or ever buy amd cards again ^^).

@Samsai: did you use the stable or some bleeding edge radeonsi driver for your benchmark?

@Theriddick: which desktop environment are you using? Probably your Vsync issue is linked to your DE.

@everyone: BTW, have a look at michael's (bleak) results on a R9 290:

Quoting: liamdaweThe issue is a 980ti and a Titan X on Phoronix capping out at 65fps, to me that tells me he had Vsync to blank turn on in the Nvidia control panel.

At least Michael claims he had vsync disabled in the menu - dunno which menu he was referring to; I guess the in-game-menu though. But who knows...

Also we should keep in mind that feral demands a better system setup according to it's requirements. So that should indicate that they're aware about the relatively bad performance.

BTW: In the thread above some people are suspecting bad multithreading as the bottleneck. Looks like there's just one CPU core utilized. It would be nice to know if that's also the case with the windows version.

For everyone interested in Windows vs. Linux Benchmarks of this game (don't klick if you're not prepared for bad news):

Here's another test coming to the same result:

Seems SOM needs some heavy optimization work.
