Well I'll definitely be buying it, as I love this genre. Also the visuals are stunning.

Runs absolutely flawless through my 1050ti and Ryzen 2600 with 16GB Ram and Peppermint 10 loves it. I love the fact that you can turn down the resolution to increase FPS but my build handles it at ultra anyway, even though Feral keeps saying that I do not have the system requirements to play, might be able to still play but may have bad experience. I no longer post or stream games to YouTube, as fed up with the constant Article 13 copyright strikes and eventually Twitch will become the same. The only problem with this game if you want to stream to YouTube is even if you switch off the music, it is still playing on the Jukebox and that live band near the beginning of the game. I wish game developers would make their minds up as to when a player of the game switches the music off in the settings, it should stay off not suddenly a song playing in the background, that makes no sense when the player has switched music off in the settings.

The same with Life Is Strange 2, there is a switch to turn off copyrighted music and only the non copyrighted music will play. Cassidy a character who plays guitar and sings her own song in the game. I privately uploaded the full episode to YouTube of the game and got a strike for that particular song. Resident Evil 2 remake The part where Claire gets a phone call from chief Irons, CAPCOM complained saying they own the copyright to that part, my answer to that was hang on CAPCOM you made the game, so don't you own all of it? Still have not had a reply from them. YouTube is broken basically and no one there seems to care, or even listen to us the users of their website. YouTube are too big to listen to us the users I guess. So I hope that when Life Is Strange 2 gets ported that no one else who streams it to YouTube or any other AAA game gets a strike. I don't know about America's equivalent to Article 13 that got passed, it's getting to be a right pain though.

This just blows me away, am able to play Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 7, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, all without glitches just superb. My Ryzen 5 2600 with just a 1050ti build is not breaking a sweat. It just goes to show, that we here in Linux are beginning to finally see the light where gaming is concerned. In all of these games I'm getting really high FPS too, the quality is superior as well. I'm so glad to see the back of Windows.

I came across this site, as to where I got the idea

I know it won't ever happen cause Sony owns the rights, plus the hardware and why would they ever consider such a thing anyway? but just a theoretical question Why can't their games be ported to Linux? Their Orbis Os that is the core OS of the PS4 is Linux, so surely to Blimey, there must be Linux code in the programming of the games that get released on that platform? I know it's BSD, but at the heart of it, it is still Linux. Probably the wrong place to ask such a question, but it would be nice to see some Console games come over to Linux in 2019. Why also has it always got to be PC games to be ported?

Games I'm looking forward to are, We Happy Few, Life Is Strange 2, Shadow Of The Tomb Raider. Must admit been playing GTA 5 in Proton as of late, would be wonderful to see the GTA series ported to Linux, but I think we can all dream about that one?

2019 is going to be one hell of a year for gaming on Linux, the wait for nearly three or so years for a Tomb Raider game or any other, to hit our shores seems to be over and I think that is a big thank you to Proton, showing that it can do new releases of games, with a few minor screen glitches, were able to play Shadow Of The Tomb Raider. With this being played and tested in Proton, it gave Feral the push to say, they are porting it, plus the love that Square Enix has for Linux too.

Feral Interactive ports are my number one for all the Linux Gaming I do, as I'm not a heavy gamer, cause normal life gets in the way and the reason why I game in Linux? Is because Linux and gaming takes me away from normal life for a while.

Force Composition pipeline works flawlessly, if you switch off Vsync and allow flipping in OpenGL settings. If ever you record your game play Simple Screen Recorder asks to switch off flipping anyway, when you first start it up. I have had no problems with tearing or frame rates. Moving windows is smoother too, also on most XFCE and LXDE environments, you have to add this line to stop your fonts from shrinking. In Section Monitor under Option "DPMS" put this in Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
I actually put this line in, in whatever DE I'm in, as can't be too sure these days. I use 1280x720 resolution, as even with the Dots Per Inch fix, it is still way too small in 1080p. God knows how people can read their desktops at 4K resolution?

Quoting: Guest

Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: RadiarionNOTE: Is it possible for someone to create an easy install nvidia drivers package for linux vergins like me? Just a thought.. If not, anyone have an idiots guide (and I mean complete idiot) to installing nvidia drivers on mint 19?

Go to their Unix drivers page [External Link]. Pick a version, download it and run the file. That's about it as far as I remember :)
Edit: And reboot, of course.

Um, no you can't just run the file. You have to drop to terminal and shut off display manager. It's not that hard though. On mint I only need to control-alt-f1, then cd to the directory where the .run file is stored. Type in "sudo service lightdm stop" then "sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-*". Then choose the prompts that are already highlighted. Really though unless you just like installing and testing the very latest drivers (like me) then you don't need to do anything special with mint. Either just use driver manager or add the ppa from https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [External Link] , that page tells you how to add it.

Add this PPA to your terminal, this is what I do here in Peppermint OS 9, which is the distant cousin of Linux Mint. In A Terminal sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
Come out of your terminal after it updates, or adds the PPA to the update manager.
Go into Additional Drivers, or I think it is just called Drivers in Linux Mint? By going into either system or settings inside your menu, on your task bar. Once the driver app has finished scanning, a list of possible Drivers for your Nvidia Card will come up, for me I use the 410 drivers, though the 396 drivers are good too pick one and click install, pop in your password if prompted, the password is the one you used to login with.
After installation, restart your computer. Everything when you return comes back as 1080p, depending if you have a really good monitor, you should be fine with 1080p, but if you're like me and only have a 23" LG Telly as your monitor, then you'll need to go into display settings, which is located in settings and change your screen resolution, unless of course you have 20/20 vision and are fine with 1080p. After picking out said resolution, then it's time to setup your Nvidia Settings. Go into menu, click into system there you will find Nvidia Settings, click on Nvidia Settings. A window will come up. on the left hand side, go into OpenGl settings and untick the two boxes Sync to V Blank and allow flipping. Next go to x server display configuration, the 2nd one down from the top on the left hand side of the window. Click advanced which is underneath save to x configuration file. You will see two boxes Force Full Composition Pipeline, tick the right hand box, which ticks the left hand box automatically. Hit apply and click the OK button on the window that pops up. This Force Composition Pipeline, stops screen tearing with Nvidia Drivers. Next click the button that says back to basic, click the button that says Save To x Configuration File. When the box comes up, click browse, another window will come up we save it in this path computer/etc/X11 so click other locations then computer/etc/X11. Call the file in small letters xorg.conf click save, then back inside Nvidia Settings the path to where it is going to be saved, is inside the save box should look like this /etc/X11/xorg.conf click save again and it will ask for a password prompt, put in your password and it will save it away.

Now the problem with Nvidia Drivers is that if you restart or log out and login again, you'll notice the fonts are really small, so we need to add a couple of lines to the xorg.conf file, which needs to be opened as superuser. Open your home file, in the left hand panel of your home file, click on File System right click etc file and in the list that comes up, click open as root or open as administrator I cannot remember what they call it in Linux Mint, anyway a password prompt will come up, so put in your password and etc will be opened as root. Scroll down till you get to the file called X11 double left click and there is the xorg.conf file you created earlier, double click it or right click it and choose open at the top of the list. Here we are going to add a couple of lines scroll down the list till you get to a line that says Option "DPMS" under that line you need to add Option "DPI" "96 x 96" keep this line in line with the above line, by using space bar from the left till you get to the letter O of Option "DPMS" then paste. Next scroll down one line until you see BoardName and by it should be the name of your Nvidia Card, under this line we are going to add
Option "TripleBuffer" "1" then at the top of this file click save, wait for the file to save correctly, wait 5 to 10 seconds. Close all your opened windows and do a full reboot and you should see no screen tearing, what so ever. Also because I never did explain DPI means dots per inch and here in Linux 96 x 96 is the default. The triple buffer stops any screen blanking. I hope this long and painful tutorial helps you out.

I hope that Feral Interactive, could make this game to not have any background music at all, when you switch it off in the settings? I bought this game through Proton, which acts as a Linux buy, or so I am believed to understand. Whenever I live streamed it, I kept getting copyright from YouTube, even though I had switched off the music in the options, there is still background music, when Lara and Jona are following matey through the bar, the live band on stage, their music still coming through and much later in the game at the first town Jona and Lara get to, in the bar the jukebox is playing. Then much, much later in the game in a jeep the stereo is playing the same music from the bar on the jukebox, from the first town Jona and Lara visit. Now I know Brian D'Oliveira, who done the Mexican soundtracks and so blooming good they are too, especially La Bruga, which is so damn addictive, that you end up singing it in your head and yes I have been known to sing it out loud, whilst walking through town, above my snoring when I'm awake, yes got to that stage in my life, when I'm snoring when I'm completely awake, walking down the street.

Anyway usually when you switch off music in a game, it's off no other music should be heard and to be honest it isn't fair on game streamers whom don't want copyright infringements on their channels. So please Feral when you port this game, could you please make it, so that all the music is switched off, when it is switched off in the options? Looking forward to the port, as fed up having to play this in Winders 10. Getting a new build soon, AsRock B450m Pro4, Ryzen 5 2400g, 16GB 3000MHz DDR4 (Obviously) Ram, the disappointing part though to my mind is still a brilliant card, the 1050ti, 500GB WD Blue SSD 2.5 might in the future invest in M.2 cards as this board has two slots. A 1TB SSD hybrid drive, 2.5. This is a Xmas present to myself, as then I'll be able to move fully to Linux for gaming, as it's only this game and of course Capcom's Resident Evil series, that I would like to see on Linux, but I can dream, that's stopping me from using Linux full time. But with new build I should be able to get it going in Proton, so I will follow up with another novel of this stature, once my new build's parts are here and I've built it. Loving this gamingonlinux channel by the way, thank you Liam for making such great content.
