Quoting: lucifertdarkI went from unsupported distro & supported drivers to supported on both & the crashing problem has increased in speed, going from every 5 minutes to every 2 minutes. While it works it looks amazing though.

Their support is usually excellent, especially once you are using their supported distributions and drivers. Please raise a support ticket.

Quoting: GuestEDIT : all this post is pointless. The real reason is VSYNC is forced when forcing compo pipeline. Disabling it but enabling VSYNC leads to the same result !

I have both options off and just let g-sync do the work, butter-smooth and no tearing at all...

Purchased this one on the Feral site (despite the Steam discount) and played the first chapter. Runs and feels beautiful with everything maxed out. Very impressive, thanks a lot!

I'm still using the 390.48 Nvidia driver, without any issues it seems. I wonder what is different with the newer beta driver? Is it just performance and stability, or does something visually changes?

Rise of the Tomb Raider for Linux to release tomorrow, April 19th

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoLinux and Mac versions of Windows games must have a different store page and a different price when the Linux/Mac publisher is different than the windows publisher.

I wouldn't mind different pricing, but having separate store pages would only make things utterly confusing for the average user that isn't interested in the politics of publishing.

Anyway, great day tomorrow! Hope that the nvidia driver will come out of beta soon...

Quoting: EhvisI wonder why they chose to stream the Linux version when Mac version is releasing two days later.
Probably because Linux gaming is much more popular than macOS.

With supporting Linux one can earn a lot of love, by supporting Mac one can earn a lot of money :)

Anyway, this will be my gaming highlight this year, waiting just a few more weeks wont make any difference.

Quoting: jensDoes VR works for X-Plane on Linux?

Apologies for feeding this Off Topic but a quick googling suggest it should not yet.

https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/140814-linux-vr-almost-working/

Link is from February 2018.

And an older link with additional info:

https://developer.x-plane.com/2017/12/x-plane-public-vr-preview-released/

:)

yeah, I did a search and found that first link, though wasn't sure if this was the latest status of affairs ;).

Quoting: mike44Not yet, they told to support Steamvr also on Linux, once they've moved to Vulkan later this year. That's also the reason I didn't yet buy a VR headset.

Thanks!

Quoting: mike44I wonder if it supports VR? I want to buy either a Samsung Odyssey or a HTC Vive Pro foremost for X-Plane. Later on Alien Isolation etc. should be huge fun also in VR.
While I don't have lots of games, I'll get this one.

Quoting: RaymondYes, will buy it but it's so stupid that Square Enix recently had a very good deal on the game (70% off I believe) so close to the release on Linux. I guess many bought the game then and they wont buy the game twice of course, all these sales are already Windows sales....

I haven't bought the game yet to make sure that Feral gets honored. Though according to https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/3232/post_id=15175 these earlier sales do count for Linux when bought and initially played on Linux.

I was never really much into the original TR games, if I remember correctly I only finished the 2nd one. The 2013 reboot though is one of my all time favorites, really loved presentation, story and game-play. So I'm really getting excited about Rise of the TR coming to Linux. Seems release date is coming closer now.

PS: Really hope this will be a huge financial success, then we can hope for Shadow of the TR too. (Once story and artwork is complete/all DLC's are released and when our Windows friends are finished with beta-testing ;))

Quoting: skinnyrafAnd yet another discussion hijacked into a GNU/Linux, Free Software, purists vs pragmatists, DRM, GOG vs Steam flamewar...
..also known as "a typical family gathering weekend in Gaming on Linux 'fan site'" :P. I love it people... except I'm notice this year becoming almost daily basis.

I'll take advise from a very wise user here recently and just get a beer :)
