For some reason Star Wars Jedi Survivor is working way better then it did a year ago when i used Pop! OS (playing the game with my bro’s account). In Pop! OS i couldn´t max out the settings, i had to set it to high and use AMD FidelityFX to get decent framerates. Now with EndeavourOS i can set the settings to epic and enable NVIDIA DLSS. The frames are perfect and the game runs butter smooth!. So i assume it has something to do with the nvidia drivers/vulkan or mesa…but whoah total new experience for me.
This is somewhat similar to my experience running Tomb Raider 2013 in MX Linux with the same system. Performance tanks out of the box, and needs tweaking.
Maybe Pop!_OS is not as properly configured as I thought. Or maybe it’s just a Debian/Ubuntu issue. Or maybe just a ymmv thing.
Started Hi Fi Rush. It’s great and a refreshing labour of love in a cynical age. Too bad I have the musical, and especially rhythm, abilities of a dead fish. I’m getting DESTROYED. I’ve not had a fight where I score above C for rhythm and i tremble before the guitar hero-like qtes. Highly recommend.
Also replayed Alan Wake 1 in preparation for playing 2 for the first time. Holds up amazingly, stoked for 2 now!
I never got to play this game as a child, This game itself is the same age as me (The original, not the gold version). But I have played a lot of old games though and enjoy them.
I was 10 when it came out. I remember mum used to only let us use the computer for 1 hour a day. The first game I ever played was Catacomb on DOS, I have it now on GOG along with a heap of others that I grew up with or wished I could have played as a kid.
Must have been interesting to play these games when they come out. Most of these old games I know are from my brother who is older and played games before me and played games on Commodore 64 and Amiga. Some of these games such as Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital I used to watch him play so I am playing them myself now.
Aside from my ongoing World of Warcraft addiction, I’ve installed and started a bunch of games with my new setup:
Doom: The Dark Ages (I intend to finish this, then replay Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Oblivion Remastered
Haste
Lightyear Frontier
Caravan Sandwitch
I’ve got a stack of others installed and recently purchased, but those are the main played games atm
Currently playing between Civ 5 and Slay the Spire. Wanted to play Disegea but with keyboard and mouse the controls are atrocious and it won’t pick up my controller. Also just finished the demo of Pokemon Lime and am looking forward to seeing the rest of it when its completed.
Thanks to one of your posts regarding installing AUR nvidia-580xx-utils etc tonight I have a fresh and updated EndeavourOS install. First Steam game that gets installed is TrainSim Classic.
Now my gaming PC is allowed online again I’m already looking at the store…
