What reviews? People seem almost universally hyped on this one. There was a preview that IGN did during the beta that was pretty maligned because of how little the author seemed to understand the game.

I played the server slam and it was really well polished and put together.

Thanks! I appreciate the update, will have to give it a try myself after work.

So I am enabling HDR and Wayland (because I need it for HDR). Out of curiosity what are your other commands doing there and how are they working for you in Hunt?

Yeah also rollbacked to 10-12. Haven’t had a chance to test 10-14.

I am skeptical due to the change log. It seems he is applying game specific fixes on top of 10-13. I imagine what was making Hunt slow was in a downstream project.

There were major performance regressions for Hunt Showdown in 10-13. I wonder if that is fixed in this release.

I don’t know for sure but I run Mangohud with a wine version display and I know the version string for 10-13 was messed up. It was something along the lines of 10-12-gitsha. So maybe he was fixing that?

It’s a little confusing because of things shifting around but my understanding is that this the launch of Microsoft’s debloated and handheld gaming targeted version of Windows. Basically they saw what a better experience SteamOS was and realized it was a problem.

I am kind of shocked about the 7900 xtx. I have the same GPU and I am getting good performance under Linux.

I did some just for fun benchmarking on Doom The Dark Ages last night and I expected Linux to be slightly slower due to the built in ray tracing but I actually got better avgs under Linux. The max frame rate was slightly higher under Windows but the lows were way better under Linux. Overall fairly close performance with a slight edge to Linux.

Maybe Bazzite is doing some magic here. What distro was he using?

Edit: I watched a bit of it, he is running Bazzite, no idea why he is seeing such crazy different numbers. I typically run Proton GE, and I assume he is running Proton Stable, so that would make a dent. People are mentioning low power mode in the comments, but I never have had any issue with that and my 7900 xtx. I haven't had to do anything weird or out of the ordinary.

I think it’s most likely due to me not playing the same games he is, Stalker 2 is basically the only he is playing that I have played in the past and I've haven't done a comparison of that game on Linux vs Windows.

How the hell do you forget you have child in a car? That has to be a drug situation or some kind of mental impairment.

Interesting - is that kernel level thing? Could other distros use that on the right hardware or is too much to maintain multiple kernels that are that hardware specific?

What is clear doing that is unique and what are the trade offs?

Why isn’t this mainstreamed into other distros?

The auto shop in my hometown had a sign that said “pumpkin spice oil change”

I appreciate the humor of the random mechanic that thought that was a hoot

What the fucking fuck is this? Websites are comically bad now.
