Quoting: hardpenguinWhile I understand the point of the concerns over intrusive anti-cheat solution, the problem stands. I would rather play one of the most popular video games in the world on Linux thanks to Proton than to use Windows. And so would many other Linux gamers.

Wine and Proton are not kernel drivers. But what if you had to run a binary kernel module of unknown origin before you could do that. Would you still be willing?

I may have to look into this. But its success is largely dependent on having a bunch of useful pre-built wine versions available for easy install. This is what is most appealing about Lutris, with the added benefit of having the community install scripts available.

Well, then Windows is off the table.

And I'm sure the majority of players will just accept this as normal. I'll let out a slight grin on the day we have our first major security breach due to these "anti-cheat" "solutions".

Quoting: Kithop

Quoting: EhvisTried it with Vulkan. While it runs smoothly, it gives me a slight but noticeable increase in input lag.

Just curious - is that with Vsync on, and does turning it off fix it? I seem to remember this issue in a couple games.

I've got a FreeSync monitor working right now so I have no perceptible input lag with Vsync/adaptive sync on under Vulkan here, for comparison.

I have G-SYNC on, but since it's always above 60 Hz, it's hitting VSYNC.

I did a similar test early A19 and there it was much worse. But when both gsync/vsync were off everything was fine. Again, no input lack using OpenGL just like it is now.

Quoting: TheRiddickGame still runs on OpenGL under Linux doesn't it?

OpenGL is recommended. Vulkan is available. I've been playing some A20 with Vulkan, and it might be less stable but it does appear to run a bit quicker.

Tried it with Vulkan. While it runs smoothly, it gives me a slight but noticeable increase in input lag.

Quoting: g000hMeanwhile, I have been playing the game with Feral Sense setting activated. Woo - A nice boost in game difficulty. The zombies hear you easier and from further away.

I cleared a house. By the time I was done there were more zombies coming in from the outside than had spawned inside. :grin: Actually had to take out my gun at some point!

Quoting: slaapliedjeEvery time I play this, I run into a show stopping bug. Last time it was whenever I'd get near the Trader's door, it'd teleport me away...

Do find it amusing that it's an Alpha / Early Access, yet it's on the Playstation Store...

You mean you were getting teleported away even after 6:05? Are you sure the trader was open?

It would be nice if they shrunk the teleport box a bit so it would only teleport yourself away if you got inside or on top of any of invulnerable blocks. Now it also does it when you just clip the corner when running around it.

Start a new world after almost a year of not playing. Dropped into the almost on the doorstep of a trader. Lucky! Killed the first zombie, but after that another one came running around the building with bright yellow eyes. Nearly died and ended up with 10 HP and a broken leg. Had to spend the rest of the day finding resources for a splint without attracting any Zs which resulted into almost starving to death. This game can be vicious. I love it!

The dev has a blog post mentioning that the expansion will be PC exclusive. Then goes on to explain that this includes Windows and Linux. Should make a few people happy. :grin:

Less good is that it apparently is still 32 bit.

It looks pretty good, but unfortunately it is an mmo, which doesn't make me hopeful for meaning gameplay.

Quoting: F.UltraWow that is a lot of memory mappings. I assume that Windows doesn't limit this or have a higher default, the default on Linux is 65535.

A lot is relative. For Star Citizen the value is upped to 16 million. :grin:

Honestly, it feels a lot like the max open files where the default remained extremely low even though it was completely not necessary for current generation computers.
