You know, I'm pretty pleased with this update because at least three issues that bugged me before are now solved.
I had an annoying stutter that is gone now while performance is a also great.
A subtle flickering on vegetation shadows when using SSAO is also now gone.
And finally I can see the Survivor Sense in action. Previously I could hear only the sound and see its result on the radar thingy, but now I can see also the pulse itself:

The PoolSize is a proven tweak for UE3 titles, but why would I set
MaxSmoothedFrameRate to 400?

I had the lower textures issue after update but it goes away if you delete both shader caches (game's and Nvidia's).

I was actually surprised to see the port still on for so long, that is the news that I knew it will come one day.
(while secretly still hoping for a port performing better than in Windows)

Quoting: LarianWhat is the appeal of these truck driving games? I was an OTR driver for 7 years all over the lower 48 states, and for the life of me I can't imagine why anyone would want to do this for fun. I'd rank it up there with (hopefully) non-existent titles such as "Factory Worker Simulator" or "McDonald's Lunchtime Rush".

Hate me if you want (and I mean this in all friendliness and good humor), but what the hell do you all see in games like this?

I don't know..is just driving and listen to some good music while enjoying the view.

Quoting: wojtek88@dubigrasu you're right - it's Flying Wild Hog.
Anyway, as far as I remember Leszek left the whole porting business after starting to work on Darksiders port for Nordic Games (Source [External Link]. He did not leave gaming industry, but does not work on porting games to Linux.
Fact that Leszek does not work on Vanishing of Ethan Carter anymore makes it less possible that we receive port of this game.

Right, but still, Flying Hog does Hard Reset Redux and Shadow Warrior 2 so maybe with him being there we'll have more chances to get those :)

Quoting: DamonLinuxPLLeszek Godlewski (ex The Farm51) who port to Linux Painkiller H&D and Deadfall Adventures, working after quit from Farm51 in The Astronauts on Ethan. Now Leszek quit from The Astronauts and now woking in People Can Fly. So maybe this is reason why we can get Ethan port for Linux?

Isn't Flying Wild Hog?
