Some thoughts on Shadwen, Frozenbyte's new stealth game available for Linux

Setting ReduceInputLag to true doesn't fix UI mouse lag. FPS isn't that high for me on max settings. I get around 25-30 FPS.

It has some other interesting options, like ReduceInputLag and ShowFPS, I'll test those.

Will they support 4K resolutions properly without scaling?

Also, try editing $HOME/.local/share/frozenbyte/Shadwen/options.txt and try setting these to match your screen:

setOption(renderingModule, "ScreenWidth", 1920)
setOption(renderingModule, "ScreenHeight", 1200)


May be it will work natively and it's just the launcher setting UI that doesn't know about more resolutions?

Shadwen, the new stealth game from Frozenbyte has released with day 1 Linux support

The game features interesting time mechanics. By default time stops as soon as you stop moving. You can toggle that behavior by assigning that switch to some button in the settings (I set it to Tab). By default though that toggle function is unassigned.

If anyone experienced that, the game is using obsolete libpng12 and fails to launch because of that. See more details and a workaround here [External Link].

Also, did anyone experience mouse lag [External Link] in the menu and settings UI?

AMD Polaris graphics cards are starting to sound pretty amazing

I'll probably buy a Polaris card to get rid of Nvidia blob, since Nvidia still didn't open source their driver / didn't back Nouveau properly. With upcoming Vulkan driver from AMD being open source, it's good time to get an AMD card, especially if as some say Polaris 10 will be comparable or even better than GTX 980.

Will it come out on GOG? Most of 2K games aren't there, and only a few were just released recently.
