BioShock Infinite Linux Gaming Benchmarks

[Veske]

It is almost not noticeable now that the game is using eON wrapper. Some minor bug remains, like alt-tabbing and tabbing back to game fast can crash it. Performance wise it is good.

It also has steamapps in the library load path.

Do you happen to have it installed into a different library, not the default one? The test profile seems to be using a hardcoded path instead of launching the game using steam and the appid.

yeah already found out.. i had SteamApps instead of steamapps

now its screaming about missing libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0 though wich i do have.. will investigate further..seems it doesnt find thatone as well

hwo do i debug the phoronix-test-suite
i cant seem to get the benchmarks that use steam working.

all i get is:

BioShock Infinite:
    pts/bioshock-infinite-1.0.0 [Resolution: 1920 x 1080 - Effects Quality: Ultra]
    Test 1 of 1
    Estimated Trial Run Count: 3
        Started Run 1 @ 09:44:06

        The test run did not produce a result.

it doesnt seem to even attempt to run it. nothing showing up in the steam terminal output either

Wine is native linux binary too.

Nope, it's billions of native linux binaries...

EON is a native linux binary.

Wine is native linux binary too.

EON is a native linux binary. Yes, it fetches game logic from a windows exe, as a data file. How is this different from e.g. Unity, which also gets game logic from data files and requires no coding at all? Haters gonna hate...

Actually people everywhere report Infinite runs fantastic, better than most native ports.

[SXX⁣]

Aside from that it has no relation to WINE at all except it's potential uses... If you have issues with proprietary, why the hell are you discussing the game at all?

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".

[jagoly]

Yes, it uses eON. Yes, it detects Windows XP SP3 as the OS.... But so far in testing seems to be the best eON port so far.

And I'm very happy with the sound of that. Witcher 2 worked great for me in both of playthroughs, and if this is better than that, then it sounds pretty good to me.

I remember a time when people were asking for as little as officially supported wine packages for games. Now we have something like eon that is getting tailored per game by people that clearly know what they are doing. GOOD THING.
