Wow, those numbers are incredible. Just my luck that I recently uninstalled Mad Max after finishing it... oh, what's that? "Downloading" :)
Oops, forgot to say "Thank you Feral"!

You will want to force your CPU into high performance mode for Vulkan games on Linux

Quoting: CybolicI've always set 'performance' for gaming. I have an i7 and just use an alias along the lines of 'sudo cpupower frequency-set -g performance' with the corresponding allowance in sudoers - '/usr/bin/cpupower frequency-set -g performance', so no password entering every time. Plus the same for 'powersave'.Quoting: HailToTheGrailNo go on my Arch system. I've also tried editing the sudoers config file with visudo and using sudo instead, but that still asks for a password :/Quoting: CybolicI wish there was a way to not have to put in my password on every change, maybe someone knows how to work around that?You could give setuid a try. Make a shell script as root, and then:chmod u+s script.sh
You should be able to run it as a user with it's owner rights, which are root.

Cheers Feral, will be picking this up for sure :) I finished the main game a while back but have kept it installed for "just one more go"... now I feel justified!

Quoting: NaughtyDeveloperI guess people could ask for a refund? Because they advertised a feature they did not deliver?Worth a try... didn't work for me with Carmageddon though, I was totally ignored - along with many, many others. It really is unacceptable.

Quoting: tuubi91 hours here and totally in sync with you regarding the exploring. I take my time and immerse myself. Loved the game, fantastic.Quoting: darkszlufOnce, but I'm one of those weird people who just can't help but thoroughly explore every nook and cranny. Also beat every racing challenge and whatnot.Quoting: tuubiMad Max gave me ~90 entertaining hours of gameplay. Easily worth the price. Go grab it already.how many times did you played trough it? i've got 50 hours and that's 2 and a half of playtrough of mine.
A look at how much RAM you might need as a Linux gamer

I must be the odd one out around here :P Whenever I game I close everything running, which is usually only browser and email (Pale Moon and FossaMail) anyway unless I've been doing something specific.
I have 16GB and give 14G to /dev/shm as I use this extensively for working in RAM (compiling, temporary storage, video/audio conversion, ripping DVDs etc, etc). I don't use a DE or swap and like to keep memory freed up. I may just be a little OCD about it!

I absolutely loved Shadow Of Mordor and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Linux port of this one.

Quoting: EgonautThe 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.I'm running a 970 with 378.13 and I have a solid 60+ fps on the training mission at medium to high settings. My CPU is an i7-4790k. You've got a problem elsewhere by the sounds of it.
