Its nice to hear. I have 144hz freesync monitor, which i haven't been able to use currently. However there no mention if this option will be available on Linux drivers also. Lets wait and see i guess.

I wish for Dirt Rally 2.0 - hope Feral can do this and announce it before it will be released, otherwise i have to try my luck with proton.

Woaah, it actually runs with -force-vulkan now and 85-130 FPS all maxed 1440p, only thing that kills perf is water reflections, if i enable those FPS tanks to like 20 fps in some places, GPU usage also drops to like 10% then. With reflections off its 90-100% GPU utilizations. So clearly something is broken with reflections.

Was nice that they added some story mission before you crash into the planet. Sad that they still haven't changed their mind about multiplayer though.

Quoting: anarchist_tomatoHave they fixed the tearing yet?

Set ForceFullCompositionPipeline in your Xorg.conf and no more tearing for you.

Turned that crap off within a minute again. I'm not sure what it does, but it makes moving windows feel weird.

Might be issue with your DE/WM or compositing. Perf drop with this on is just 1-2% and when testing GTK response times it adds just few milliseconds for the GTK windows.

edit: not even few milliseconds

Nope - coop will come!

"Yes, coop will come first. We have many systems in place already. It will be the first big update after EA release."

That is unfortunate indeed. Sandbox games are best played with friends.

If it has a good story, say like Subnautica, Don't Starve or The Forest, then i guess its not a big problem, but yeah those types of games are usually more fun to play with friends

This looks interesting but again, sadly only singleplayer. Do you know if they have plans for multiplayer?
i feel like survival games need multiplayer, unless they have really good story like Subnautica or Don't Starve

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: bird_or_cageFor those using Steam and unfamiliar with how launch options work there, you need to go to game`s Properties - Set launch options and put %command% -force-vulkan there.

You only need what's mentioned, %command% is not needed.

yeah %command% is only needed when you want to execute something before starting the executable

Quoting: Perkeleen_VittupääMore premium rallying videos from the Estonian guy Xpander on radar :woot:

Probabably not. Doesn't seem that good of a game for wheel driving.

Quoting: melkemindYou really just made that up, didn't you? :D It has "generally favorable" reviews and has even won awards. I obviously don't have sales numbers but the fact they're going ahead with a port would suggest it has solid sales numbers as well.

where? 65% on steam last time i checked which results mixed feelings.

Handling is pretty trash for this game, the procedural generated tracks while interesting idea are more repeative than real tracks. Road surfaces are boring(not many bumps and holes and so on)

i mean it probably is fine game for some money, but for the asking price of 55€, naah pass.

Still i think its good to see more racing games on Linux, just i think feral wont make much money from it. will see though

edit. sales numbers dont add up anymore since the steam changes, but last i checked at the beginning of this year it was 700k sells fro dirt rally and 70k for dirt 4, yeah ofc dirt rally has been around longer. now steamdb reports 200,000 .. 500,000 to Dirt 4 and 1,000,000 .. 2,000,000 for Dirt Rally
