Thanks for bringing this up, looks like a nice game.

Well, Attila runs better in DirectX mode on Windows, but when it comes to the OpenGL mode the performance is pretty much the same on both systems (while using a Nvidia card).
Surprisingly, on my AMD card (R9 280X) the game actually performs better on Linux than Windows (again, in OpenGL mode).

Quoting: dubigrasuI suppose that in a game where everyone is using the controller you have equal chances, but (as much as I like the controller) in a normal game playing with it is an exercise in futility.
It's honestly not that bad. I played a couple rounds myself both on mouse and on a steampad, and while of course it was easier for me to quickly snap my aim to someone unexpected with a mouse than with a pad, most of the trouble I got into were because of my stupid positioning and the lack of map knowledge rather than missing mechanical skills.
Glad to hear that, is probably my inability to survive in a game like this that influenced my view above.

Saints Row: Gat out of Hell now available on SteamOS and Linux

I have no problems with the game's performance, but the game itself...IDK, it doesn't "click" for me. It feels and looks like an old average game.
Hope I'll change my mind.

Quoting: JarnoHave you guys tested if there any difference when you use
__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%
in launch options?
That's already enabled.

Quoting: dubigrasuSo you can play this with the controller and survive?
Most people can't even survive using the mouse, including myself. I think its harder than CS:GO, as I don't want to lay down somewhere for minutes to be shot from the side.
My thoughts exactly. I suppose that in a game where everyone is using the controller you have equal chances, but (as much as I like the controller) in a normal game playing with it is an exercise in futility.

A chat with a Unity developer about Unity's new OpenGL system for Linux games

Quoting: dubigrasuAll shadows are still there, only this time they are soft shadows instead of hard shadows, so harder to notice.
Yep (some shadows are better indeed), but it definitely needs some tweaking because it seems that some NPCs are floating above the ground.
That's true, but I remember seeing this on Unity 4 too. Is more obvious now unfortunately.
I also think they went too far with softening the shadows, you can barely see them sometimes.
