Feral Interactive are teasing a new Linux port, bring on the speculation
26 Jun 2017 at 8:01 pm UTC

Rise of the Tomb Rider would be really good :D specially if with vulkan.

Dirt 4 would be nice also, but sadly its not as good as dirt rally when it comes to realistic physics :)

i have no idea about the clue though :D

but since feral has ported codemasters and square enix games, i think those are plausible games.

Not much changed for me, just the main monitor which is 1440p now and all the 144hz glory :)

The latest Kona update might fix a few major Linux issues and crashes

performance is fine with GTX 1070, but it was really bad with 1050Ti. Yeah graphical glitches are still there and i doubt they will fix them in time for the official release. i just cannot see that. they havent updated the UE4 engine and writing vulkan renderer from scratch doesn't seem like task for ark devs who just add new models and content all the time without much of a optimizations.. i hope im wrong though

A massive 7 Days to Die update is due next week with masses of new content

One of the Best Survival games for linux for sure - content wise... ARK has more content but the client is buggy, thisone is less bugged. Rust is good also and the rest of the survival First person games are pretty bad content wise.

Quoting: gojulSubmitted a bug to Feral with the crash dump located under ~/.local/feral-interactive/ (and even the stack I could find w/ GDB).

First thing :
- the game complains librtmp.so.0 is missing (fixed by created a symlink from librtmp.so.1)

Second thing :
- when starting the game through GDB I get a segfault (otherwise no output) like this one :
#0 0x00007fffcc1de460 in ?? ()
#1 0x00007fffe2406619 in ?? () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1

// stack omitted

I know my machine is beefy (actually it runs some VMs quite often - and Debian is running blazing fast on it ;-)

All other Feral ports just work fine, so there's something with this one. Thus as Debian is the basis of SteamOS if it crashes on Debian it is likely to crash on the upcoming SteamOS (and Ubuntuj releases.

Waiting for feedback from Feral, staying you tuned. ;-)

afaik 381.22 drivers are required, you seem to run older ones.
or this is required just for Vulkan?

Great port by feral

Video as well
framerate in the video is a bit lower due to some recording software overhead

nothing new :)
this has been the fix for stupidly programmed games/programs with FX and is now with ryzen as well :)

but great to see some in depth details about it

Looks like Rome: Total War might be coming to Linux, according to Feral's port radar

Sadly im not into strategy games too much. But i enjoyed Total War: Warhammer.
Just don't have the time to play them much.

Anyway, Great news for those who love those games!
