Quoting: hihuWell I followed the livestream yesterday and the game looks very promising. I also managed to "not buy" it until now and play it on windows. I bought the 2013 game years ago when I didn't know that the game will come to linux.

From reading the comments section from time to time I found out that it's the best to buy the game directly at Feral Games Store to support feral interactive.

However I have some money on my Steam Account which I could use. Does this count as linux sale then? (sorry this was discussed before for many times).

thanks for clarifying this out.
If you buy it on linux it counts as a linux sale. When you take it on steam a part of the money goes to valve, but if you made your purchase on the feral store all the money go to them.

Anyone knows if its going to use vulkan 1.1? If its the case i will need mesa-git.

RUINER is now in Beta for Linux, it's also an early unlock in the new Humble Monthly

Quoting: GuestHow's performance for everyone else so far? not gotten very far in game yet but I'm struggling to have a fully smooth experience thus far, tried turning vsync off which seems to keep it above 60fps but still has inconsistency enough that I can see alot of stuttering, also tried disabling compositing along with capping the fps to 60fps but still dips under 60fps, even if I turn every setting down

That said, it's still perfectly playable so far with minimal drops, not encountered any game breaking bugs yet, but I'm hoping to get a solid 60fps when it releases out of beta

My CPU on the central area has an usage between 70% and 90% and fps go to 30-40 and on the prologue map has picks that decrease GPU usage, its very CPU bound. I hope they can optimise with patches.

It's time to bug Feral Interactive about future port requests once again

Quoting: charliebrownauI still havent found an easy way to get my R9 380 video card to work correctly in mint or ubuntu or debian

Why does drivers have to be such a chore in linux
While I know how you feel, these days it is pretty easy on Ubuntu/Mint:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:paulo-miguel-dias/pkppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

reboot
I tired 5 different messa drivers and 3 different kernals on ubunutu mate , none gave the same performance as AMD GPU PRO

I am now using Debian 9.1 Mate , it lacks PPA support

Also Ubuntu Mate 17.04 had issues working with my audio interface correctly
it seemed when i was messing around with mesa drivers it resulted in screwing up pulse audio

The only solution I could see to fix pulse audio was to install debian
You have tried kernel 4.8? For me is the last kernel that perform well on my 380x. Beyond that i have 4 - 12 fps on life is strage...

OpenGL multithreading in Mesa is ready for wider testing

Quoting: ziabiceI haven't tested already (I'm not on MESA git), but can someone try the older Unity3d titles with this patchset? The first game that comes to mind is "The Last Tinker: City of Colors", which performed very poor and was for me completely unplayable.

EDIT: fixed some typos
You don't need mesa-git to try this, is already on the last stable version but i don't know if there are new performance patches.
