Quoting: Comandante oardoHow to improve the performance of the Unreal Engine 3 games on Steam Os or Ubuntu with that config file?
For Bioshock Infinite as an example got to:
/home/user/.local/share/irrationalgames/bioshockinfinite/GameDocuments/My Games/BioShock Infinite/XGame/Config
and edit the "XEngine.ini" file in the [TextureStreaming] section.
Increase the PoolSize value to something more appropriate to your GPU VRAM size, but don't go overboard.
For my card (3072 MB) I have a value of 2000, more than this and it gets actually worse.

Arma 3 Compared On SteamOS & Windows

Quoting: dubigrasuWhat puzzles me is why so much fuss about this particularly benchmark ?
There are other benchmarks (big titles) there as well that went unnoticed.
Because it's one done with a wrapper and it shows the best results compared to the original Windows version of the game among all AAA Linux ports. And not just any game, but one that is legendary for its heavy graphics and horrible optimization.
I don't know...Bioshock is also with a wrapper, Dirt (wrapper too) shows also much better results while the Witcher was the most controversial of all.
Anyway, I didn't expected this reaction.

Quoting: maodzedunI am mocking because there are a lot of hypocrites who give VP crap but close their eyes for native ports. VP were basically torn for the initial Witcher 2 release but when Dying Light came out everybody were like: "Give the devs more time". There is a widely spread bias in the community against VP and eON. Everybody is talking how much worse their ports compare in performance to Windows but nobody is talking about the fact that Shadow of Mordor runs with about 60% the efficiency of the Windows version. But hey - it's native.
Ouch :)
