Stardock is planning to release 'Star Control: Origins' on Linux
19 Nov 2017 at 1:22 pm UTC

SC is old DOS game(from time with Double Dragon, Bubble Bobble, Fatman, Digger and so on), now this is first time i see this game again, with improved graphics and for Linux.
The game is primary 1 vs 1 player. Every ship have different speed, shoot, missiles, special move. Some are tough and slow, some are fast and with low HP.
This game is reborn now, from long long time.

As usual with Unigine prods, the benchmark should support OpenGL and Direct3D (11/12). But according to some comments, Vulkan support is not planned in the initial release. Source [External Link]

Quoting: tuubiI never even found a way to install 284152, and the build that works for you (277544) crashes for me with Vulkan. Works fine with OpenGL though.
This update was normal one. Now it seems removed, or versions not shown correctly. I change update to beta/previous version ... game download files and update ... byt in-game version shown is the same 277544.

Also with Vulkan API, game load much faster.
You're right. Switching to the "previousversion" branch stops the crashing on Vulkan for me as well, even though the main menu build number does not change. I don't see much of a difference in loading times, maybe because the game's installed on an SSD. Shame about the tearing.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Got a hard freeze right after I wrote this. Oh well, back to OpenGL for now.
I used 'Enhanced Stability' in BIOS for all possible options. RAM, CPU .. etc. Every error in RAM could be fatal. Also i dont have ECC RAM to test with.
I think some people get crashes with lastest Nvidia Driver. Look what version i'm used. Try with it.

Quoting: tuubiDid someone actually get build 284152 installed on their Linux system? All I seem to get is 277544, on the publicbeta branch as well. Is 284152 Windows only or something?

Just curious as 277544 freezes after a minute or two of gameplay with the Vulkan renderer on my system. I thought I'd try the latest build. Before crashing the game runs much smoother on Vulkan, although it seems V-Sync doesn't work and the tearing is quite annoying.
Did you read my previous post?
Sure I did. That's why I asked.

Quoting: deathxxxWith lastest Update 284152, the game and whole system is crashed after 20-30min gameplay.
Im forced to switch back to previous patch.

There are glitches in recorded video during in-game menu, but in reality it's not seen in real machine.

Using Nvidia's NVENC with OBS Studio makes Linux game recording really great

liamdawe,
Please add missing dep for the installation guide. You also need install ffmpeg itself, because this command:
ffmpeg -buildconf
will not work.
