They don't test on anything but nvidia hardware. Their own requirement pages for their games make that plainly obvious.
My guess is they used some nonstandard feature of nvidia's driver -again- and now they are stuck because they don't know what to do.
EDIT: Maybe I am wrong. But if I am then a Feral rep should be out debunking.
Respect amd normally appears first closed source driver support, stay around middle of actual market quota around 8% of market
Make games for around 8% of market dont care
Hopefully amd in 2016 shows better products with good ratio watt/performance (16/14nm)
In good news have around 8 months for improve drivers (closed/opensource) and on intel side drivers stay progressing too maybe can give support first to intel than amd

Not feral's fault if AMD and Intel are unable to properly implement the opengl specification.
Anyone who thinks it's some great conspiracy just needs to read something like the dolphin developer's blog where they detailed all the issues with non-nvidia drivers on linux.

So i am not sure what Feral merits are, if game runs let say 70% of Windows perfromance on nVidia, but AMD as they say also renders fine but let say it runs 50% of performance... So yes it is about performance, not about somewhat improper specs implementation.Last edited by dungeon; 28 October 2015, 05:41 PM.

Ah sh*t... I already bought a copy of CDkeys.com hoping I'd get to play the game this Autumn.
Well on the bright side I'll now more time to play other games in my backlog, which actually pretty long (with titles like Diablo 3, This War of Mine, Metro 2033 and Last Light, Company of Heroes 2 and Alien: Isolation). Can't say I care that much about AMD support due to how their Linux driver support has always been lackluster to say the least. The only positive thing I can say about AMD's drivers on Linux is that they have pretty good OpenCL performance.

That's why game devs cannot assume that because it works on nvidia that must mean it works. No, just no. Game devs still need to run their code through compliance testing suits. There are a number of them available. I don't understand why compliance testing is so rare. Especially since it's common knowledge.Last edited by duby229; 28 October 2015, 07:37 PM.
