Amazing port. Thank you Feral! Looks good, runs good. @1080p i can see my ryzen cpu being utilized as never before in games, all cores are loaded nicely and having balanced load of around 20%-40% on each core.
@1440p CPU usage drops quite a bit, i guess im then GPU limited as GPU usage is 100% constantly :)

Anyway amazing port. Vulkan FTW.

Ohh it has AI now? i bought it way way back but was never able to play it because there was nobody playing and my friends didn't own it.

Should try now i guess :)

this is actually one of the BR games that actually seems interesting, something different from the rest imo.
I own it since they sent me alpha key way back, even though i only use linux. I tried in wine but obviously anticheat prevents it from running.

looking forward to Linux builds if that ever happens

Quoting: 14

Quoting: Xpanderyeah i know, now many come say do not use paypal, but i dont like to enter my credit card number to multiple sites, so if paypal gets hacked or leaked i know where to search where it got leaked.

So i guess i have to wait now and figure out whats the problem

Ever since I switched to buying Steam games using PayPal long ago, I only buy them from a full web browser instead of the Steam client. It seems more reliable and trustworthy to me.

yeah, i just wanted to be sure it counts linux, i never really trust how the browsers count, but if i play on linux straight after, its fine i guess

I wish it had Co-OP or even local coop.

first problem for me is that when i search "RUINER" from steam i get those 2 things only:


luckily i had it in my wishlist or i could use the Liam's link to open it.
But now paypal/steam is acting up for me, had to confirm my card, paypal took 1.50€ from me but steam still thinks its not confirmed and now i got this:

This is actually sad that steam spy cannot operate anymore. It was really great way to check if its worth to buy <insert random multiplayer game> and check out if there even is a player-base before commiting to it.

Yeah new driver has lots of issues, tesselation not working, bad performance, but shader compiles are a lot smoother and this driver also fixes the Sun glitch in GTA V with dxvk for me. but they need to work on it more.

anyway its just a beta driver, they can improve it and until then i can run their old compiler with:

export __GL_NextGenCompiler=0

edit: That info only involves vulkan with the new SPIR-V compiler, OpenGL is unaffected

Quoting: fagnerlnNice, now we need a way to force the clocks of the GPU :P

easy with nvidia :D

nvidia-settings --assign [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1

so:
pkexec cpupower frequency-set -g performance && nvidia-settings --assign [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1 && nvidia-settings -a [gpu:0]/GpuFanControlState=1 -a [fan:0]/GPUTargetFanSpeed=45 && notify-send "Performance Mode" "CPU set to Performance & GPU fan 45%" -t 2000 -i messagebox_info

something like that :)

This is what i used so far:

Spoiler, click me

xpander@arch ~ $ cat /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.archlinux.pkexec.cpupower.policy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN"
 " http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1/policyconfig.dtd">
<policyconfig>

  <action id="org.archlinux.pkexec.cpupower">
    <message>cpupower without super user</message>
    <icon_name>cpupower</icon_name>
    <defaults>
      <allow_any>yes</allow_any>
      <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
    </defaults>
    <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/bin/cpupower</annotate>
    <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui">true</annotate>
  </action>

</policyconfig>

and then keybinds for:

pkexec cpupower frequency-set -g performance && notify-send "Performance Mode" "Cpu clocks set to perfromance mode" -t 2000 -i messagebox_info

and pack to normal:
pkexec cpupower frequency-set -g ondemand && notify-send "Ondemand Mode" "Cpu clocks set to ondemand mode" -t 2000 -i messagebox_info

Quoting: BrisseI guess this won't do much for us AMD-users since they don't usually default to "powersave"? When I used Ubuntu 17.10 I think it defaulted to "ondemand" with my Ryzen 1700X, and now I'm on Debian Sid which seems to default to "performance".

Edit: I just realized the latter could be because I run a custom kernel.

it does impact. ondemand mode is not good either. it will switch between clocks in games a lot (not in all games) and will cause fps drops. i run my ryzen always on performance mode when i go gaming. It has pretty big impact on the minimum framerates when running ondemand.

if you are on performance mode then its fine, its not the default behaviour on most distros though. Running it on performance constantly isnt that great also imo, but ryzen is pretty efficient (on idle with performance mode enabled) and just adds +20W compared to ondemand judging by my UPS reporting

to avoid sudo thing i created a polkit rule for cpupower to let me execute the command without sudo :)

looking forward to see this gamemode being implemented into the future games of feral and others.
