That's why you should come to Spain

That'll only be a benefit if one could keep their Scandinavian salaries.

Just a little suggestion. if your GPU can't handle 60fps, you should uncap VSync for about 20-30% fps more

but, working like that on oss drivers...

hmmm, my bad missed there are separate options for vsync and capping

Ok, so it's available for Linux through steam. What about those who got the box version ?

Sadly on AMD the colors and lighting look just wrong.
Linux: Screenshot
Windows: Screenshot
It's much worse in outside areas.
Did I configure something wrong?

Actually, if you ask me, it looks like the Windows screenshot has the "cartoon style" thing turned off somehow.

I decided to buy the game anyway, so I can tell just a little of experience based on the main screen. This game is awesome to try graphical configuration: everything is applied immediately.

Here is a snapshot with the game running on HD5770 Gallium3D, Arch Linux. 1920x1200p with everything maxed out (except PhysX for obvious reasons) is getting more than 30fps in the main screen. The valley in the graph is caused by the volcano.

I played a little and only three options actually affect framerate in the menu: depth of field, ambient occlusion and FXAA. With those three disabled I get 90fps+, enable one and I get 60-70fps.
I can't say about graphical errors, or color stuff, because I only tried the demo on PotatoStation3 before... and that was pretty bad
In conclusion, looks good for Radeon driver

Command line:

R600_DEBUG=hyperz LC_ALL=C GALLIUM_HUD="fps;VRAM-usage" SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pulse %command%
