Quoting: slaapliedjeI do know that Elite ran at about 100fps less than it does on Windows, and in VR, that kills your stomach when you try to maneuver in a space station!.

Quoting: KetilI think this article should have waited until we had done a bit more research, because as it is now, it is misleading.

If they fix the water, and manage to make it work out of the box, then it is release quality for sure.
Very correct, I feel significant improvements in response and frame rate. The water is not a render issue I think but simply a missing texture or wrong spelled filename (Linux is case sensitive). I mean, on The Center map the water looks just fine.

About bug reporting, this won't help the small number of linux player either:

Hello Survivors,

We are currently experiencing a high volume of tickets due to the AWS outage, which caused several players to lose their survivor. As such, we're getting to everyone's tickets a bit slower than we'd like, and due to the high amount of tickets received, this can take an extremely long time for in game issues to be resolved.

Quoting: neowiz73the overall layout of the UI seems a bit better but the design is meh... I haven't had to much of the graphical glitches anymore. the textures and lighting seems to be much closer to the windows version from my more recent test plays.
as well.
The design is half done and not consistent, the main menu, server browser and options screen are still in the old style. So it clearly is unfinished. Next to that, on the center, it rains with a clear sky, and thunder sounds without the lightning, so that is still broken too.

-edit-
Undocumented changes
Swim Speed per point in Oxygen reduced by 80%. This affects both dinos and survivors.


Well that does it, underwater play was already hard on Linux with the glitches, now it has been made impossible to survive.

-edit 2-
Stamina drop of the birds is nuts, they are useless now. Next to that, the flying sound of the Ptera sounds like shacking bags of water, AWFUL! Will never get used to that!
