BioShock Infinite Linux Gaming Benchmarks

[esfomeado]

Can you compare with the Windows version?
Thanks

Probably making a SteamApps -> steamapps symlink would be the easiest solution.

that is already fixed...
the problem is now that the exuctable doesn't find steam running..

[Kano]

You don't need a symlink, just rename the dir while Steam is closed.

My guess is that the profile is not correctly set up. Open a terminal, navigate to the game dir and issue this command:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/.steam/bin32/ ~/.steam/bin32/steam-runtime/run.sh ./bioshock

If it launches (run.sh must be used), then file a bug report for Michael.

This is literally one of the least accepting communities I've ever seen...

1. Be thankful any interest at all was made for a Linux port. It's fine to be wary of bad ports but the lack of acceptance is totally unreasonable.
2. Has anyone played The Witcher 2 within the past three months? It might have taken awhile but it's in an acceptable state.


Stop being so goddamn unreasonable.

1. And that's what happened to me personally. I paid the money and I didn't get the service, why should I be happy, again?
2. I have, and it is in unacceptable state. I can't complete game on lowest settings on reasonable hardware.

Why am I unreasonable than?

2. I can confirm this. I downloaded W2 last night. I have a high end Intel i7 and NVIDIA rig overclocked to the max. The game runs fine at a constant 60 FPS @ 1440p on Windows on Max settings w/o UberSampling. On Linux it is absolutely unplayable. Even when I lower the settings (which is unacceptable to begin with) it doesn't get any better, this probably means that eON CPU bottlenecks the shit out of this game.

My i7 w/ GTX 970M plays W2 fine on Arch x86_64 @ 1080P w/ max settings except Ubersampling. (~60fps)

3. You have no idea what the cause of performance loss is in any proprietary game (and it's not easy to pinpoint such issues regardless). Stop making assumptions like you have any clue what you're talking about.
4. The game (BS:I) is reported to run incredibly smoothly. From what little gameplay I can experience until I get graphical stalling issues, I get maxed FPS in maxed graphical settings.

Stop being so goddamn unreasonable.

amen.

There is many reasons to not give any money to company that pushing "proprietary Wine". It's not just about performance.

there is exactly zero reasons for that. native port will be just as proprietary as eon one. there are many native ports which work much worse than eon port of tw2, which is working flawlessly since some time in my limited testing. the only thing that matters is whether game working as expected, or not. i can understand preferring open source games to closed source ones - they can be recompiled, but distinguishing proprietary binaries by porting method regardless of results is braindead.

[pal666]

I don't have issues with proprietary games as there is no other choice available for now.

Though I'm don't like Wine too as it's bad solution compared to native ports, but at least it's open source and backed by several companies. In same time this eON thingy is proprietary which make it worse than Wine. When this company go out of business there will be nobody who'll able to continue support of their "wrapped versions".

man your brains don't work. what happens when native porter goes out of business? same shit
