Pretty good game for its price. Art Style is nice and the setting. story is pretty generic but there are logbooks to get more background info in the game. AI pathfinding is pretty bad tbh. theres crafting but luckily no food or water requirements. you can also build a spaceship at some point to travel faster between the regions.

quick gameplay video as always:

Seems to run pretty good even with minimum CPU :)

AMD FX-8320@4,4ghz, GTX1070, 16GB DDR3. 1080p, all maxed, bloom off, blur off, AA off.
60-90 fps most of the time. drops down to 35 in some specific areas and when looking at some specific angle.

Feral have released the minimum and recommend system requirements for Mad Max on Linux

Quoting: coryrj19951Hmm I have the minimum proccessor, the 8350, but I do have the recomended RAM and GPU. Might run decent. Can't wait for it :D
i have below minimum cpu by description :D FX 8320

but i have it at 4,4ghz, so it should be good enough :)

Asian market growth explains why linux numbers dropped in hardware survey :) Asians don't use linux that much

7 Days to Die massive update released, Linux version seems to work okay now

GLCore renderer has graphical issues for me when steam overlay is enabled. blinking white screen and weird polygons on the screen.
disabling overlay makes it work just fine and it looks really good indeed

Quoting: manero666
Quoting: ysblokjeTry removing libasound.so(.2) from the 64 bit libraries in your steamruntime. I got it down to libasound on arch.
Works :)
if you want to be safe you can edit ferals game launch script with:

if [ -n "${HAS_LSB_RELEASE}" ] && [ "$(lsb_release -c | cut -f2)" = "trusty" ]; 
then 
LD_PRELOAD_ADDITIONS="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2:${LD_PRELOAD_ADDITIONS}"
else
LD_PRELOAD_ADDITIONS="/usr/lib/libasound.so.2:${LD_PRELOAD_ADDITIONS}"
fi


so it loads the libasound from the correct location

why on earth ubuntu(debian?) has those weird locations for libraries?

Performance on AMD CPU is not good really :(
It was all on Ultra though:
