    Thanks Unigine for supporting the open source drivers!

    I ran Oil Rush 1.01 on my GeForce 310 using the following drivers on Ubuntu Oneiric 3.0.0-15.

    Code:
    OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
    OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NVA8
    OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 8.0-devel (git-f9f8ce3 oneiric-oibaf-ppa)
    OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20

    Yes, I understand that, but at the same time it is not nearly as bad as you are making out. I mean, you loose some clarity on the edges, but it does not drastically hurt the graphics as much as you seem to be implying. Plus you can also just run it windowed, and get around all of the associated graphical problems. This I imagine would not even be much of a problem if you are playing on a mega-huge screen, which 1920x1280 really actually is. Most modern desktops have smaller screens than my comparatively dinky "17 LCD. And most games I play on R600g (and I play a lot of games) can handle 1280x1024 just fine.

    I think this game is very playable at 20fps, personally. It's a strategy game, and most of the action takes place using the mini-map or clicking on platforms or buttons. Sure, the animations and cinematic scenes are a little choppy, but the framerate doesn't affect the gameplay that much. It's not as important as when you're playing an FPS or action game.
    That's the reason I never tried it at a lower resolution. I don't like blurry interpolation, and it played fine for me at the low FPS.

    And, for a quick update, the average FPS went up to 17-23 FPS, with the latest driver update.

    Great Game

    This game is AWESOME! Runs great using NVIDIA driver 270.41.19 on my GTX-285 card.

    I do not see why people think that playing at massive resolutions in games is such a big deal. Then again, I am writing this from a screen that only does 1280x1024.

    In my experience, lowering the resolution does have more of an affect on performance than lowering other settings on the free drivers. Probably has something to do with CPU bottlenecks.

    On the latest open source drivers, Oil Rush gets about 16-20fps on my HD5770. Low settings, but 1920x1080 resolution. I'm sure it would be more than playable at 720p or so.
