Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiT

Quoting: dubigrasuDamn, in no way I can play it at Ultra at that res with my card, not even on Windows. My card is getting old it seems...
The performance is indeed very close to Windows though, I didn't even bothered to try the OpenGL renderer, went directly to Vulkan:

There is some stutter in the video mostly because the RAM went bust on my recording PC and is now swapping a lot, but the game itself performs really well.

You, my friend, got owned by VSYNC: Of course you can't have more than 60 FPS I'd VSYNC is enabled.

?!
Where did I said that I want more than 60 FPS?

Quoting: boltronicsIn other Wine-related news... https://github.com/thevoidnn/wine20-bcrypt-doom [External Link]

Doom (2016) now runs under Wine. I've been testing it out, and while there are issues with saves and cloud syncing (which also prevent multiplayer from working), the in-game performance is as to be expected from an OpenGL/Vulkan game - perfect! The FPS on my Fury X was high enough that I couldn't easily tell the different from Windows (100+ probably) - at 2560x1440, Ultra detail settings..

Quoting: m2mg2...Two Worlds had black and gold effects in the background, Enclave messed with my screen brightness...

Yes, those were issues during beta testing, but they are fixed now.
Both games were in beta for roughly three weeks and only when the bug reports stopped they released the final versions.

The weird distant effects in TW OTOH are present in the Windows version too if you set the HDR slider to high values in clear sunny weather.
The same for Enclave, even in Windows on certain configs it has lighting issues (too bright or too dark). One sure way to trigger the brightness bug even now is to alter the video settings while in game. So basically you need to restart the game after that, this is still an issue, yes.

Quoting: LinasAlthough I have to admit that Topware Interactive seem to know what they are doing, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

They do seem to perfected their scripts. They will still probably have issues with certain configurations (well, Wine), but overall they do work. The dev is also very patient and dedicated while willing to put up various fixes until the bug reports stops, and only then is releasing the Linux version.

Quoting: Guest"the most important thing" GNU/Linux need developers who know more than how to indenture themselves to Microsoft. Supposed everyone decides wine is the best path to profit. Why would they bother to learn to make native games?

I don't think (personal opinion) that this will be an issue.
After a certain point due to the improvements and advances within the popular engines, it will be easier to build native Linux games than screwing around with Wine "ports".

Man, I hate editing my posts because of some stupid misplaced letter.

Tested the game and worked very well on my config in desktop or BPM, you can hardly tell is using Wine (there's only the small Wine popup at the initial setup). Controls are working fine (with M&K or Steam Controller which has already a profile for it)...well, I didn't found any issues.
If there's an issue is not a Wine one, but the acting and dialog in game. They are pretty much awful (IMO) and I really have a very high tolerance for things like that but...
I've heard people complaining about Two Worlds voice-over and I had zero problems with that, but in this one I could'n stomach it (although the over-the-top Nazis were pretty funny). While I enjoyed the game for some degree I eventually gave up because of this.
The best thing would be to cut the sound and put some music while playing.

But I digress, the game works very well.

Quoting: EhvisInteresting test results. Especially because Linux runs faster for a while, then after take off drops below Windows for a while until it picks up again. It'd be very interested in knowing why that happened. It could just be the timing of loading additional scenery though.

Indeed, I suspect Windows had difficulties in loading the scenery fast enough. I used a normal HDD while testing.
Likely with a SSD the overall performance could be very similar, but I don't have one big enough for both systems.
One thing that I didn't monitored was disk activity, it would've been something interesting to see.
