I own Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter on Steam, but there is no Serious Sam Fusion entry in my library :(

HITMAN released for Linux, initial port report and two gameplay videos

Quoting: g000hHi there. This might not apply to you, but some time ago I had a problem with a GTX 960 graphics where the GPU fan was intermittent and at times wasn't working at all. The GPU would heat up to very high temperatures, and then throttle itself back so that the temperature would go down. This card gave gameplay which stuttered a lot. Eventually I replaced the card under warranty and the problem went away.

Advise to take the side off your PC case, and check the GPU fan is working (when you play a game).

Everything is fine with my graphics card. No defect fan and no overheating.

I have a AMD FX-8350. But the CPU isn't the problem as I stated above. The GPU load goes full up, so it's not a CPU bound.

The game runs so poorly, I can't even get stable 40 FPS @1080p on lowest settings. My GTX 970 is at 100% load all the time, it's incredible. And yes, with lowest settings I mean everything on low or off till the game looks awful, still bad performance (SSAA is at 1.0). I have the latest drivers (378.13) installed.

How does Feral recommend a 970 if it can't even handle the game at 60 FPS on lowest settings? And when I look at the Windows recommend settings it says a GTX 770. What has Feral done here to bring my 970 to that load?

I haven't even played more than the tutorial, because it's literally unplayable to me since it gives me headaches when the game stutters that much.

Mesa has a patch from a Valve developer to help ARK Survival Evolved run on the open source drivers

Quoting: LeopardThey will update their engine with Vulkan.

Sure, I believe it when I see it. I tell you here and now, they won't update their engine at all. Not now and not in 6 month nor in a year. The game is full of bugs and never has seen significant bug fixes and if they would try to update the engine - which has more than 1,5 years of development - they will break the game completely.

I suggest you not to hold your breath, they will probably bring more DLCs before they even try to fix any bugs or update the engine.
