Quoting: toor50-70 fps against 144fps? Damn ... Now that sounds very bad

It seems that the games VSYNC implementation needs some work. After disabling it, the game is running at 144fps consistently. I tested it on and off while the game was running on the iGPU but missed trying to disable it once running on the dGPU. :grin:

Granted, this is on a Wayland session with Adaptive Sync enabled. If necessary, a third-party frame-limiter could be used to curb the max fps while the in-game VSYNC is disabled, assuming the in-game limiter doesn't work.

Quoting: headless_cyborgSo, trying this on an RTX 3060 laptop. FPS limit set to "unlimited", yet I only had 55-60 fps with 35% GPU usage.
Then I disabled V-sync and it's now at 170 FPS. I have a 144Hz monitor so I guess V-sync got the wrong impression about how many FPS it should push out. Ultimately went from "meh port" to "ok, this runs good".

Thanks for testing it out (and inspiring me to check). So until a patch is released for the game, the native version should have VSYNC disabled for best performance.

For what it's worth, the game via Proton yields better performance than the native version. On my system (full AMD), with the latest mesa-dev drivers and in-game FPS limiter set to 144, the native version performs between 50-70fps as opposed to Proton which hits 144fps consistently.

Another note to share: For those with dual GPU systems (i.e iGPU+dGPU), you must use the DRI_PRIME command in Steam even if you've configured the dGPU as the primary GPU in your desktop session. This is the first title I've come across that ignores that configuration and requires the DRI_PRIME command.

Got it installed and i'm thoroughly enjoying the direction it's going.

NB: Just out of curiosity, is anyone else experiencing lower detail graphics despite the resolution and detail settings being maxed? Running the game with OpenGL 4 doesn't seem to make a difference. (Using a GTX 780 with the NVIDIA 355.06 Prop. Driver)

Quoting: MayeulCIt happens that I am developing a small game with friends, as a hobby. Do you think I should apply ?

You might as well. :D

And the progress they've showcased is 3 months of work.....so the final game, come end of 2016, will be epic. :)
