With 13.6 Beta this game was unplayable, but now everything runs smooth. Slightly stuttering at the beginning and the first zombie wave but one 360 degree turn with your char and everything is fine.
So yes, give it a try.

Completely unusable for me!!
Permission problems as mentioned above, even if I change with chmod the ownership of /proc/ati/ ever reboot takes it back to root meaning I have no 3D at all!
If I change the ownership and logout-login I get effects with Kwin, 3D etc but Heaven 4.0 hard locks my system!
ATI RadeonHD 5850 here, Kernel 3.10.4, Xserver 1.14.2, openSuSE 12.3, KDE 4.11 latest rc.
PS: I am using now the 3.11 rc3 kernel with latest Xorg stack and Mesa 9.3 git! DPM works fine and 3D performance is really acceptable now! Unigine benches however don't render correctly... 2D and video performance is a miracle compared to Catalyst!!

P.S. Now i have same 30 FPS in tear-free mode even with 13.6 Beta drivers. Later i'll try to install Catalyst 13.4, and will see if it changes.

- Are slower than 12 to 30% - 12% e.g. at Xonotic, additionally there is not complete liquidity like on 13.3 beta3 - every moment "tears". For example, games in wine 1.6 e.g. LFS operate up to 30% slower than the 13.3 beta 3
- Games like L4D2, CS: S, Portal start at some point, "choke" and I saw there some weird dumps [you can not "kill" a game] - congesting the ram memory to the maximum and begins to fill the swap.
- Conclusion: the Catalyst 13.4, 13.6 beta [there was input lag - mouse], the version 13.15 [OGL 4.3] where there is no lag but it is the loss of productivity, and in 13.8 beta1 ... These drivers are unusable. Leaving only 13.3 beta3 = maximum stable, efficient, and providing a brilliant system responsiveness [with appropriately optimized kernel]. For example, in my line of Brazos kernels [optimized to run on Athlon II up]:
fglrx-13.8-root-fix.patch
L4D2 settings on AMD APU E-350:
Anizo: 16x
VSync: off
Shader Details: Medium
Details of the effects: medium
Details of model/texture: high
multi-core rendering: Enabled [but better for the poor E-350 disable this]Last edited by ext73; 02 August 2013, 05:03 AM.
