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

On another topic, though, I just finished Episode 5 last night. This game might actually be the best game I've ever played.

Didn't expect that one.

Just like it.

Quoting: iunoI already bought and played this game on Windows. I liked it very much, and I recommend it to anyone to try it out, the first Episode is available for free. If it doesn't convince you absolutely but triggered any kind of interest, go ahead. If you can get over the fact that it's a bit of a teen drama, the characters are all stereotypes and there are some logic errors.
Atmosphere, music, storytelling, style are all great.

I wonder why feral did this port and not the original devs. It is built with Unreal Engine which runs on Linux. Did Feral make it work natively or are they using indirectx again?
They're using IndirectX. Unreal 3 didn't have very great Linux support, so...

Quoting: WienerWuerstelI see that the "Feral makes horrible ports" card has already been played. Maybe it's better to actually report the issues instead of just complaining about it in here.

My personal experience is that it runs very well on my GTX 760 which isn't the newest card by any mean. Highest settings and it runs around 60-100 fps and I hope that the framerate stays that way when I play some more of it. Using the 367.35 drivers btw.
Wouldn't I love to if their "contact support" feature inside their launcher actually worked?

Every Feral port I've played has been garbage, so I'm sorry for stating the facts from my experiences.

Runs at 20 FPS at high settings 1080p on my GTX 1080. Great... Another horrible port by Feral. Ugh.

Dolphin, the Gamecube and Wii emulator is working on a Vulkan backend

Good! I was worried when Dolphin got a DX12 backend and the developers didn't seem to give one sixteenth of a damn about Vulkan.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceUpdated. Wow I am surprised about the number of Arch users. I was led to believe by various users on different forums that it wasn't a very popular Distro due to it being harder to get the hang of. Maybe the news was wrong.
My mom uses arch, my brother uses arch, my wife uses arch, my moms office uses arch, I use arch, our laptops are arch and our Sofa Samsung TV uses arch too.

Make a install guide to expedite future arch installs, rolling release is the shiznit.
I like rolling release too, so I just use Debian Sid.
I can't stand using anything besides apt/dpkg for my package management.

Quoting: sevenis this game any good? and does it run wel?
It does not run well. It often dipped to 45 FPS for me on Medium settings at 800x600 resolution with a GTX 780 Ti and an Intel Core i7-3770k.
I think you have other issues then, ~ 1440p all high with amd to boot and in the 70's +
I've had many people say the same thing, however neither me, nor my friends, nor my friends' friends have gotten it to run decently.
