Quoting: dudiblahBreaks cinnamon on mint 18.1 with kernel 4.11. 4.10 is fine however.

You can't install the Nvidia-drivers on 4.11.0 due to policy changes in the Kernel. The Kernel just don't allow any non GPL code anymore. The Nvidia driver uses a mix of MIT/GPL License and that's the Problem.

There are 3 ways to fix that:
1) Patch the Nvidia driver [External Link], which is a legal issue.
2) Patch the Linux Kernel [External Link] to allow non GPL code too.
3) Wait for 4.11.1, which should come this weekend and will allow mixed Licenses.

Quoting: edddeduck_feralDo send in your reproduction steps though as it does sound like you have an issue most people never experience.

Will do in the next days.

Sure and that's why I write this now and not when it's final. For now most reports only state how fast the Vulkan renderer is, but not that there are also still FPS drops. This is even more important than reports of high FPS, IMHO.

BTW, I don't have this drops in the Benchmark, which makes it even more important to report this.

While the performance is much better with the Vulkan renderer, it's still heavily single core bound. I have around 100-140 FPS in the actual game (Ultra @1080p) but when I'm driving around the FPS drops very often below 60 FPS. When the FPS drops, always one core is at 100% load and GPU load goes down.

I don't expect any magical fix for this, since it's still a port and there will be always down sides. But instead of trying to get the max FPS more upwards, maybe Feral could try to get the load more balanced on threads, if possible. If I could have stable 60 FPS I would be more happy as with 100+FPS and drops below 60 :)

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo, lots of people wanting to see this game or that game that were already ported to Linux in turn get ported to Vulkan for performance. For me, this is more a proof of concept; it demonstrates that it will be very good if future ports go to Vulkan rather than OpenGL. Generally I'd rather see Feral's energies go to new ports rather than makeovers for old ports.

I disagree a lot here. Yes it's great to see new games out but I want to have good performance in already released games too.

I've had a lot of performance problems with Mad Max and other Feral ports. It's great to be able to play it now with decent performance. I would really like to see Vulkan in other already released Feral ports too, even I doubt we will see much of it.

Did you guys know that the game is developed on Linux? Yep, it's true :)

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