    R9 390 + 7850K + 1080p + Catalyst 15.9 + all video settings at max: usually 20 or 30 FPS, 15 FPS in complex scenes, all cutscenes at 60 FPS, loading screens at 1-2 FPS

    (added 1 line to controllermapping.txt to enable the gamepad)

    There were issues loading though, the fps dropped to dead zero at points during loading, and it took a lot longer than I expected (loading from an SSD, at points it seemed to hang, but it got there eventually).
    Yeah, looked the same here. Try to set SSAO to HDAO (the middle option), that helped a lot for me. With that setting, only particles and smoke are trippy and it's a lot darker (too dark even).

    And yeah, I also noticed the strange loading behaviour ...

    Speaking about bad ports of windows games to Linux: I can't run Civ Beyond Earth using wine due to DX11, but I can run Civ5. And it "feels" faster using gallium nine than the native port. Loading is a bit slower on wine, though. I'm still trying to fight the benchmark mode to get actual numbers.

    This is on Arch Linux, fully up-to-date using the RadeonSI driver on a 7970 on mesa 11.0.4. I've used the default graphics settings, which are set to low everything, except I changed the resolution to 1080p. If you're not able to click through to Youtube, there's massive graphical corruption, it looks like playing it on acid. Basically it's completely unplayable on my machine.

    The initial cutscenes (not shown) actually rendered correctly, but once I got into the gameplay it went haywire. There were issues loading though, the fps dropped to dead zero at points during loading, and it took a lot longer than I expected (loading from an SSD, at points it seemed to hang, but it got there eventually).

    Still, it's the first Ferel game that I didn't already have from buying it on Windows, so it's the first time my money has gone to them so I'm happy to support them.

    At most, you can claim they have good support for Nvidia systems. Not Linux, not without at least 1 alternative driver supported.
    I'd say it does suck because it's pretty obvious they aren't even trying to comply with OpenGL standards. If they could say that this game complies with GL4.3, then I'd say that's fine, but that isn't what was said. Instead they only claim that it requires nvidia drivers, which is well known that they allow nonstandard behavior. At this point the only fault I can find is Feral.

    I want to buy games for linux, but I will not give up support for OSS ideals to do that. That's what makes it suck.

    Well they wrote there whatever they want it seems, according to this comment game seems to work fine with Catalyst:

    https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articl...1/page=3#46401

    But yeah according to review that performance is still in area of known Feral 60% on nVidia Linux when compared with Windows, maybe on eye it is something again like SoM 40% on AMD

    If 60% support is there, but @40% support is not there - probably that is the logic

    Speaking of limiting your user base.

    Really guys, even vps eon ports are better than ferals at this point.
    As user duby shows before




    But now them shows 6xx series of 1024mb of memory with 355.11 drivers or upper as minimum in alien isolation mini site




    In company of heroes 2 (feral lastest title launched until alien) geforce 6xx series are minimum supported both iris pro
