No stuttering for me on Linux... Runs as good as it ever has but the visuals are even that much better due to the engine upgrades. Not a fan of the new UI, but the old UI was clunky too, so I can't really say it's even a step backwards.

Pretty much exactly my experience and takeaway on both Windows and Linux.

It's definitely not the smoothest launch... But the review bomb has felt a bit undeserved.

The review bomb was really stupid. There are multiple channels for feedback and anyone who’s been around long enough knows the Hunt devs do listen to the community (perhaps too much sometimes)

Review bombing should be a last resort and all it’s done here is probably put a bunch of prospective new players off trying the game during the free weekend

Same. I had to lower some settings to get the same performance as the old engine. I imagine there will be room for optimisation on the new map/engine

Are you using proton experimental?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Proton experimental and (at least as of yesterday) I had to opt into bleeding edge beta as well or I'd just get black screen at launch.
