are they planning SDL2 support?.. its nasty to play windowed to be able to alt+tab.
playing fullscreen switches off other monitor and cant get out of the game.

Storm United FPS major patch released, better Linux performance
26 Nov 2015 at 12:52 pm UTC
AMD FX8320@4,2, GTX 970 GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS enabled
as for Storm United.. all maxed and also GL THREADED enabled havent seen it dropping below 70 fps yet...

Quoting: mr-eggpretty good... i get 40-60FPS most of the time.. but drops to 30 area when flying around fast or entering some big base with lots of dinos.. i dont have all max though.. 1080p mostly epic, view distance high, textures high, AA Off/low (it makes everything blurry when enabled), general shadows (thats the real performance killer for me) low.Quoting: ElectricPrismThe developers optimized particle effects on the latest Linux update.my AMD CPU is slower than yours by half and im getting 20 - 40fps on a single gtx760 @ 1440p with almost everything on the highest and a few judicial setting drops. It was 5 - 10fps ! but the threaded optimisations really work well with ARK. I try them out.
Storm United is a somewhat CPU intensive game (As are all Unreal Engine 4 games including Ark.)
Eg: My i7-940 is the source of my frame-rate issues drop when paired with my GTX 970. (I turn down post-processing to get a better frame-rate in Ark on my girl's GTX 970 and Skylake it boosted FPS from 30 to 55ish)
its a shame no steam machine will get these additions to current & older Unreal engine games :|

I havent bought anything, got too many games to play.
but i was looking into: Road Redemption and Windward... dunno if i would play those more than 20 min though, like with most of the games except ARK :D

i dont see the difference... but maps seem to load fine now, the ones that crashed before.
i didnt have stuttering previously also with __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command% -opengl4
only at the start of the map..and this is still there..but its smooth after this.
FPS seems same.. 90-120FPS all maxed 1080p on that snow map

Leak: AMD's new driver will apparently offer much better performance on Linux
24 Nov 2015 at 4:22 pm UTC
but afaik metro is always running at 2560x1440 and then either downscaling or upscaling to correct resolution.

Quoting: pete910Still room for improvement then by the looks of it :Pindeed.. though i have 1920x1080 main monitor..

Quoting: pete910The new driver compiled fine on mine with the 4.14 kernel that i'm on.with a crappy AMD CPU and not so high end 970
Did a quick test of metro rdeux on stock 290x @ 1440p

Anyone with a NV card do a comparison, I thought I had done some with previous driver versions but guess not
