Quoting: dubigrasuThe results I had with Windows and SteamOS versions (at the end of the video):

Interesting, but anyway, I will do my own humble comparison using the same game settings.

But I don't get the presets used. Do the windows version in Normal looks like the linux version in very high?

Quoting: BlackBloodRumWhile you're here feral, any word on whether the ported versions contain the Denuvo digital restrictions management software?
I want to know that too..

There is no offical information about the inclusion or the lack of Denuvo in the Linux version...

But according to a post on the Mad Max Steam forum, the Linux version is not infected by Denuvo...yet. [External Link]

Quoting: ShmerlNo GOG release though?
I don't think that is up to Feral. I'd love a DRM free copy of Mad max. if it ever happens I will buy another copy happily.
Yes it is. They can do that... They have the publishing rights of the Linux version... We talked a lot about that topic. :|

About the game itself, I will wait some days if the FPS drop bug mentioned is fixed with a patch...
Then I will do the performance comparison between the Linux version and the Windows version..
I will use a GTX 750ti, a GTX 960 and a GTX 970 with a core i5 4690k and 2x4GB GSKILL sniper DDR3 2400 CL11

Feral have released the minimum and recommend system requirements for Mad Max on Linux

Quoting: leillo1975
Quoting: sarmadThis sounds like a bad port. The spec is much higher than the game seems to need.
Specs in Windows are also High
Minimum:

OS: 64 bit: Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 10
Processor: Intel Core i5-650, 3.2 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 Ghz
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660ti (2 GB Memory or higher) or AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2 GB Memory or higher)
The Phenom II X4 965 is from 2009. It was a mid-range CPU in those days... the Phenom II X6 was THE high-end AMD CPU.
The Core i5-650 is from 2010...is less powerfull than a haswell core i3 4160 from 2014...

The only way to know if it is a good port is to play the game using the same hardware in both OS's...
Since I have two Pc's with two steam accounts(one with Ubuntu and other with Windows 7), I can do that.
I just need to play the game on the Windows 7 machine. After collect the game performance information, I have to unplug the Windows ssd, plug the Ubuntu SSD, boot, play and collect the information...

The Wine Development Release 1.9.21 Is Now Available
17 Oct 2016 at 3:52 am UTC

WinE devs must take the development process more seriously, specially the paid ones like Codewavers.
We are finishing 2016 and 64bit support is not oficially implemented yet and there aren't any signs if it will be..
Add the fact that DX10 and DX11 are very far away from here...

The only games you can play on wine are older DX9 games...
Even older games like Bioshock 2 have problems; It crash if You play it with high resolution textures...I can tell you that this game consume a little bit more than 1GB of RAM and no more that 1GB of VRAM. I know very well that this problem is not present in Windows7 64 bit (because I have the OS and the game installed on another PC), so is a Wine problem.

Shadow Warrior 2 should still be coming to Linux after all, was a miscommunication

Quoting: KithopKind of related, they say DRM is a waste of time [External Link]. If and when this Linux port materializes, I kind of want to throw money at them just because they're finally getting it. :P
That is because they are one the few DEVS who respect the users....
..That's why they have my respects and that's why I pre purchased the game on GOG! :)
