Unigine OilRush Officially Ships Today For Linux

[benmoran]

The requirements clearly state

"Proprietary AMD or NVIDIA video drivers"

With my previous NVidia 9600 and the proprietary driver Oil Rush was so-so playable (on moderate settings). I can only imagine the pace at which it "runs" with the OS drivers.

Well, sorry to dissapoint you but it actually ran pretty well. Between 15-20fps with low settings at 1920x1080. Since this game is mostly overhead view, that framerate was playable on my hardware.

Congratulations to the team!

I realize all the hard work that is behind this release!

There are already prepared pages at Metacritic waiting to be filled in with reports.

The game looks very good. Yes, I am tempted!

I'm anything but a hardcore gamer, but 15 to 20 fps is something I hardly rate as "pretty well". Anyway, YMMV.
As a comparison: the NVidia 9600 with nvidia driver turned out 40fps (with occasional slowdowns) at 1920 x 1080 with medium quality settings - that's what I'd call "pretty well" or perhaps "okay".

Latest radeon in mesa git for me...

That minor opcode is for the GLX_ARB_create_context extension that latest mesa advertises but your X server does not understand. Try with xorg-server 1.11.99.901 or latest git.

impressed

I just tried it at 2048x1536 medium details no AA and was getting around 20fps
not bad for a llano system considering that the unigine heaven benchmark gets like 4fps at this res.

It looks fun, but I can tell there is a bit of a learning curve to the game play.
Definitely something that could kill some hours

[xpander]

must be masochist to play this with opensource drivers.
works fine with prop nvidia drivers (290.10) perf is really good. all maxed and constantly 75 fps. (gtx 560Ti)
game however not so interesting.
just bought it to support them for making linux client.

Oh, ok. Thanks, I will.

[Kakarott]

I'd like to check before buy, is there a demo?

Not right now. But it will come.

Updating to 1.11.99.901 doesn't help, it's a known bug:
