Weird!

Full price on Steam and humble is the same; 16,99U$D (8,49U$D with the discount)

Meanwhile the full price at GOG is 12.99U$D and the discounted price is 6.49U$D

Why the difference?

The Wine Development Release 1.9.16 Is Now Available

I installed the Windows version of Tomb Raider on Ubuntu 14.04.3 through Crossover 15.2...
While it runs with more FPS than the Feral version, I have the screen filled with a lot of graphical artifacts; macroblocks for to be specific... The more powerfull the card is, the more macroblocks I have.. Is that a driver issue? I know there is a REGistry key that solves the problem (StrictDrawOrdering-»enabled) , but the performance goes down by a lot.

Life is Strange released for Linux & SteamOS, some thoughts and a port report included

Quoting: danyskThe game is stuttering for me at the point that's unplayable. FPS continuously vary between 100+ and 1, with the game almost freezing for a few milliseconds. Lowering resolution and graphics settings doesn't help much, enabling vsync makes the game more stable, but still unplayable. I got an overclocked Pentium G3258 (4GHz), 16GB RAM and a GTX560 with 1GB VRAM, it should run smoothly.

Anybody else with this issue?
I think your problem is the CPU... The minimum requirement for Linux is a core i3 or a FX 6300...
Like all Feral ports, this game needs more powerfull hardware than the Windows version.

Quoting: manero666Nice too see all these d3dx10 improvements! I also own Just Cause 2 and can't wait to play it!

Quoting: Comandante oardoNow that I have Crossover, first I'm gonna try Tomb Raider, and after, Metro 2033.
The original Metro should work fine, but check the Wine apps database [External Link] because it probably needs some tweaks

Tomb raider works super fine with Wine!
I just did what I said in another gamingonlinux post

Right now I am downloading Tomb Raider in the windows version of the Steam client that running on Ubuntu 14.04.3 through Crossover 15.2

I will report the results on Twitter and here.

Have You tried the original Metro 2033 on winE?
This title stay native (Metro 2033 Redux), normally if game stay in native version i dont test in wine

^_^
I can tell you that Metro 2033 and Metro 2033 Redux is not exactly the same game. I played both; the original on my win XP machine and the Redux on SteamOS 1.0... I hate Deepsilver for not porting the original Metro 2033 to linux like they did with the original Metro: Last Light

I don't like the Redux because the achievements are broken, the Vsync doesn't work and the antialiasing sucks... In the linux version of the original Metro: Last light those bugs are not present...

Now that I have Crossover, first I'm gonna try Tomb Raider, and after, Metro 2033.

Total War: WARHAMMER is still coming to Linux, being ported by Feral Interactive
6 Aug 2016 at 4:39 am UTC

Quoting: dmantioneIt is a clear problem with Feral ports, but even for Nvidia and Intel gamers, life isn't as good as it should be due to performance issues. While there are reports of games that run well, I just keep reading reports of games that run better on Wine than the Linux port... not something we should be happy with. IndirectX apparently has a lot of overhead involved, much more than other known translation layers. This is just as much a quality issue as the AMD incompatibilities.
I agree 100%..

But I must follow the scientific method:

I will install Steam on Crossover, and I will activate my first Steam account there, the one from my Windows era [External Link]... and I will play Tomb Raider with the FPS counter activated, and I will post screen caps...

Let's see if is true that WINe games runs better than the Linux ports.

The only one Warhammer game I want on Linux is Warhammer 40.000 Space Marine...

Quoting: segulehThankfully i’m not fan of Total War nor WH series, cause i don’t believe Feral make this port good. Even as NVIDIA card user, I can accept (barely) 20% - 30% performance drop but not 50% as it is with Tomb Raider. And I prefer 5 good ports than 20 poor. No offence Feral, but thanx, not this time ;)
I agree 100%

PS: I tried Life is Strange in a 1366x768p monitor and the antialiasing SUCKS...
