Phoronix: Nuclear Dawn Seems To Run Fine On AMD Linux

Nuclear Dawn, the Source Engine game now with full Linux support after a major game update was rolled out on Steam this week, seems to be running fine on AMD Linux hardware...

If you can pls compare new catalyst to latest stable, although one card from each generation. Would it?

There is no point in launching this game for Linux. The servers are dead and nobody plays there. So what will we Linux gamers do with a multiplayer game that has almost no players.

You need to pretend having friends?

I'm using the open-source radeon driver, too. But for/with a HD5870. The game runs just fine, as most games do. The only current exception being 'Star Conflict'. I'm not sure what the connection is but when I jump out of the game (meaning alt+tab or ctrl+alt+arrow up with GnomeShell) and back in after the game found me a match the game will, on occassion, slow down and stutter.

If I restart the game all is fine (except that I can't join the match and have to wait, again). Sometimes that stutter happens after the 12th alt-tab, sometimes after the first.

OpenSuSE, pontostroy Mesa from git. r600g on 5730M, and had no such troubles.

Running SC required STEAM_RUNTIME=0 but that was only trouble*.


(Not counting failure to autodetect RAM size, cause I checked gfx settings in first 5 secs )

May I ask why you are running SC with STEAM_RUNTIME=0? Are you using the non-steam version (if there is one)?

What do you mean by 'failure to autodetect RAM size'? Does the game sometimes fails to detect the correct amount of RAM?
