I was impressed that there was that many comments without it turning into an argument/rant like most Linux threads do.

Man this brings back some memories, I played this on an Apple LC520- 25MHz processor & somewhere between 5 & 10 MB RAM.

I loaded up Master of Orion this week, I actually can't think of a word to describe just how terrible the combat is. 'Totally accurate battle simulator' has better strategy & more control over your units during the battle...

Also played a bit of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, fun game.

I would like to play some more ARK, but they update it every day, which is annoying when you have 3rd world internet & have to wait an hour to update.

I'll give it another shot, I've been using kazaam for screen caps, as OBS was being difficult last time I tried to use it.

Quoting: liamdawe@Mora, you're running the 64bit Talos right? It only works on that as far as I know.

Yep, I sure am. It could have something to do with running 4k or SLI maybe. I've tried it on previous versions of Talos as well & have never had Vulkan work.

Vulkan just won't run for me in Linux. I get a black screen, then it reloads into OpenGL.

I got the following numbers though:

Settings:
Resolution 3840x2160
Max3d rendering Mpix 2.4
Multi-sample AA Medium
Vsync- disabled
Triple buffering- disabled
CPU Ultra
GPU Ultra
GPU Memory Ultra
Level Caching Ultra
Max fps Unlimited

With both DX9 & 11 it maxed out at around 155fps.
GPU utilization was 100% for GPU1 & 92% for GPU2.
CPU was at 33% with 1 core maxing, 3 more at around 40% & the rest idle.

Linux Mint 18 Nvidia driver version 375 (tried 367 as well with no change).
OpenGL 55.3 fps
Vulkan :(

Windows 10 Nvidia driver 378.66

OpenGL 65.4 fps

DX9 94.5 fps
DX9 SLI 156.2 fps

DX11 94.0 fps
DX11 SLI 154.6 fps

Vulkan 88.3 fps (did not use both GPUs, not sure if I need to enable multigpu somehow, or if it is not implemented yet).

Having to pay for the new races is a pretty scummy move IMO. This should have been included in the full game at release, or added in the patch.

I bought the game in alpha as soon as it was available, but won't buy from them again.

Ark & Master of Orion alpha. Both run great. MOO AI is still a bit lacking, although it seems like computer controlled races are trying for different win conditions now, rather than just extermination, which is nice.

Also a fair amount of WoW using wine the past week. Addons are giving me a few issues, but it runs sweet other than that.

I was trying out 7 days to die multiplayer this weekend. Planning on getting Stellaris next week & downloading the MOO alpha on Linux if my download limit allows..

I just finished my first play through of Divinity: Original Sin, 91 hours! have gotten my moneys worth out of that one :)

Having a look at the latest update to 7 days to die currently, the brightness seems bad on this build, but its still a whole lot of fun. I haven't been able to join multiplayer servers on Linux though, which is something I was looking forward to checking out. A problem with anti-cheat I think.
