You will want to force your CPU into high performance mode for Vulkan games on Linux

AMD 8370 proc here running RadeonSI. I can't successfully run any of the above scripts, as I do not have that folder structure on my system (KDE Neon). My '/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/' folder is empty.

Downloading now...looks like a blast.

This game looks great from my POV - as a big fan of the genera (going all the way back to PC Engine / TurboGrafx 16-CD titles Gate of Thunder / Lords of Thunder / R-Type / Sidearms / etc/).

I have to also put in a plug for the best bullet-hell on Linux, that apparently no one knows about, Steel Rain! It's..in a word..epic. With RPG and building elements (via obtaining power-ups through planetary colonization and building) and a deep story mode (for a game like this). It's about to get a major new update as well. I highly encourage fans of shumps to check it out [External Link].

What have you been playing recently and what do you think about it?

For me, it's Transport Fever, 7 Days To Die (On a great multiplayer server), and Rocket League. I also just received a free copy of Civilization VI via an RX 480 video card purchase and am looking forward to getting lost in it as well...time permitting.

Quoting: DonkeyI did not try online but everything else was butter smooth with Mesa 17.1.0-devel.
Same here. Now running fabulously on an all-AMD rig. Very thankful for the fix. Sorry for those who still have issues.

Quoting: neowiz73their are multiple factions that you are able to trade and go to war with. but you can't really seize their territory and use it. which is the one downside. you can only destroy them outright. which then leaves one less territory to trade with.
Although conquered territories do give you tributes annually for life, so at least there's that.

Make no mistake - the game is cute, indeed. But it's also not easy. Your town can get wiped in a heartbeat. You've been warned.

Fun game though.

This is great news, to be sure! RL is definitely the most-played game overall on my Steam machine.

IIRC they are three college kids who work in the game part-time. So it's understandable, really.
