This mean Intel integrated won't cut the mustard?

If you're using a motherboard to spread mustard instead of a butter knife, you might be doing it wrong.

Modern ones will. The gpu requirement is basically says any gpu from 2011 and newer (2011 was gcn 1.0 and kepler) with Vulkan support.

For windows, vulkan is supported by skylake(6th gen) and newer, for linux, vulkan is supported all the way back to Ivy Bridge, but the experience playing CSGO would probably be terrible.

Finally a game my gtx 980ti can officially run! It's been a long time since I've seen that , but it still runs most stuff just fine. Quite a little trooper, that card 🙂

Game's audio was borked for me, needed -sdlaudiodriver pipewire as an argument.

Even then particle effects weren't displaying correctly, if at all. I dual booted back into Windows because i found it unplayable.

Edit: Sep 28 Evening update fixed gfx issues

You talking about the new smoke effects? They seem to be working on my end (Nvidia 3090).

Interesting. Im on AMD on Fedora. They're invisible to me.

Recent update fixed

Try running the Windows version through Proton instead. You can do that by forcing a Proton version, and it will download the Windows version.

This worked extremely well for me with an 8x performance boost in Bioshock Infinite because their Linux build runs on an old version of OpenGL and old libs, while proton translates DX11 into Vulkan.

Can't, vac wont allow that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

oh that's unfortunate.

Even my 12 year old PC meet these specs. Wild.

I think the i5 750 came before my time with computers lol

So basically nobody meets these requirements, right? Practically no one has a sound card, and even the storage requirement is pretty steep. The Steam deck for example only has 64 total, and if you have one of the more expensive ones with more space, what are the chances that you still have 85GB free? My games drive on my very high end PC currently has less, and I also don't have a PCI sound card.

[–] Darorad 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's insane to suggest a sound card instead of spending the time to fix it or just not release the Linux version.

Controller match making!? No?

I tried cs2 and got my ass handed to me in every single game, maybe I’m not a gamer anymore lol
