You will want to force your CPU into high performance mode for Vulkan games on Linux
23 Mar 2017 at 2:20 pm UTC

A couple of months ago saw this [External Link] article on the Steam forums addressing the same issue, with another tweaks too, and it's what I use. I believe it's basically cpufrequtils with a script to switch performance mode on and off.

Interview with Feral Interactive about their ports and Mesa drivers, Steam keys offered for Mesa developers

A bit more compromising question at the end of the interview for some exclusive information -confirmation of Half Life 3 :P ... Shogun 2, etc- would have been the icing on the cake!

Also, as personal curiosity, why is Feral not interested in releasing their own IPs? They have experience in the platform and surely can make some nice gameplay too :)

Nice interview overall though!

Played this game many, many years ago and loved it. It's flawed, and difficult, but the atmosphere, plot and original soundtrack are top!

I wish this wine port it's on GOG at some point too...

Every time I see “will only get it on sale” or the instant “will it be released with a sale?!” posts I really do fear for our platform as gaming choice. Why is a Linux port worth so much less to you? It damn well shouldn’t be. We are gaming on a platform that has to prove itself to survive in what’s quite a hostile environment full of publishers with dollar signs for eyes. If we consistently pay less, create storms about small issues like this, then again, I fear for our future.

Editorial: On paying for Linux games when you already have a Windows version

Quoting: liamdawe
Quoting: bubexelI will put various examples, netflix or spotify.

You have to have a new account or pay again for use it on a phone? or your smart tv or on your pc, linux or windows or whatever?
So, but that's a bad example. You don't even remotely own anything on either service, you're renting time from them to Stream copyrighted content. Stop paying, you lose access. Netflix and Spotify are platforms themselves, they are a very different thing to what we're talking about here.
You don't own anything on Steam either. If you stop using the account you stop playing games bought on it too. Besides, Spotify can be used for free too albeit with limitations.

Had this on my radar just in case ever happened to be a Linux version. This is great news!

Interesting times. Might have to upgrade in a year time or so, perfect to see benchmarks and user experiences before.
