i have been keeping my eye on it quite some time, they delayed the release also afaik. so they are hopefully polishing it like crazy :) can't wait

Finished Observer, took me 8.5hours and only got 3 out of 69 collectibles. Amazing game :)

Will play (if i have enough time) F1 2017 and Dirt Rally

And if i have more time i want to return to Dawn of War III

Some Leaked benchmarks also. Windows though, so no clue how the Linux drivers will behave

Quoting: pete910Nice, Runs well tbh. The whole game is better that the 2015 I had. Not had a lot of time in it just yet though.

Some benchies @ 1440p

Just to add, on the 387.22 driver.

cpu limited i guess?

1440p Ultra with GTX 1070, drivers 387.22



edit: ohh wait i now see you have different track :)

I see your wheel is locked up nicely with the in-game wheel (i.e., turning angles seem to match). Does it also happen in F1 2015? My DFGT is not synced up so neatly on F1 2015 and I can't find a place to change this in-game. It doesn't bother me so much because steering still feels natural, but I'd still like to try and fix it.

i have the wheel set to 540 degrees with:

ltwheelconf --wheel DFGT --nativemode --range 540 --autocenter 0

and then from the game saturation is set to 90, to match the wheel

Great Game so far. Runs super smoothly also. Thank you Feral!

Mouse de-acceleration issue seems to be on Windows also from what i gather. it happens in some places of the game and yeah its really hard to fight with the mouse then. other times it runs super smooth.

Performance drops are the worst, even a SSD wont help here, those still happen in places where it drops down to 30 fps and loading new textures or so.

5 hours to complete? :D hmm you didn't do any side missions?

i have played 8 hours so far and i think its still quite some time before the end :)

Quoting: j_c_pWell, have a look here [External Link] !
I know it's under Windows ... but, I hope that Feral will do his best in order to well convert the game under Linux.

yeah its probably a bit better with dx11, but still if you look at it closely, at the start where lots of cars are in the range, fps will drop down to 40 and so on, because of the cpu has to calculate all the AI stuff..

but yeah usually dx11 is around 20% faster than opengl on the same hardware. there are few exceptions here and there though ofc. Vulkan is yet to be seen, there are some games like Talos, where CPU isnt used much anyway, that runs superbly compared to opengl and then theres games like Ballistic Overkill that run a bit worse in Vulkan than OpenGL.

Quoting: j_c_pSee my edit about the SSE* instructions ;).
Otherwise, I can buy the game at "release" to try if it works, but I don't have a high speed network and I prefer to be sure that the game is compatible before buying it.

Don't get me wrong, i still think phenom 2 and even FX cpus were pretty good when they released, price to performance.. just not so for singlethreaded gaming. But with todays standards they are both quite weak. Its a bit better situation under windows, cause dx11 has some tricks for better threading and not pulling cpu that much, but even there those cpu's show its age and are not really great for todays games, unless you are heavily GPU bound :), in which case your performance will suck anyway.

Quoting: j_c_pOf course Xpander, but F1 2017 is a Vulkan game and the Phenom II X6 is a quite capable CPU (mine is overclocked of course) with a better IPC than FX processor.

like i said its not so 1:1
Vulkan isn't the magic bullet that makes all the cores more usable. your phenom has 6 cores, i5 has 4, even if the game uses all those 6 cores to full potential, those i5 4 cores are still faster cause of the IPC.
Vulkan is more multithreaded in theory yes, but it has to be programmed that way as well. IPC still matters more sadly. And then ofc there are all the other capablilities of CPUs, like SSE4 and so on which your phenom doesnt have.

Anyway you can buy the game to test it out, if it doesnt work then refund if you played less than 2 hours within 1 week after purchase
