They would enjoy on a lower than "Can it run Crysis?" setting due to jitter and stutter. I did not expect this with my expensive setup.
Jittering stuttering frame time sequencing
Was unable to map certain buttons on my mouse to actions, Logitech G502
With "Can it Run Crysis?" settings and everything set to highest, no experimental RT, motion blurr 'on'. FPS dips below 60 and many times drops to 30s.
Some of the enemy NPCs would float when far away without animation then come into walking or running animation when closer or after some time.
The expensive setup I have is running Liquid Devil Ultimate 6900XT on unleashed setting with a Ryzen 5800x and 64GB RAM Coupled with custom optimised kernel for zen3 and latest Mesa. I expected to run the highest settings without a hitch smoothly above 60 FPS at least. However that said it is still playable as it is consistently above 30 FPS (like consoles).
Halo Combat Evolved was one of those pivotal games in history from the start of the millenium that revolutionised the approach to FPS games. I'll never forget back in 2000 playing this game on the original XBOX with family and friends on CO-OP and then multiplayer! It has lead to many studios and other FPS and Action game developers to try and emulate parts of the recipe that worked!
I for one would never have thought I would see the day of this game appearing on Linux!!! I haven't had an XBOX in 12 years and haven't had any Windows OS on my network for almost as long! To be able to play this now with my son who has also grown up on Ubuntu and never known Windows or a console is fantastic. Works out of the box!
Played using Steam's streaming to another PC over gigabit ethernet. It was jittery.
Worked out of the box on my expensive rig, however on my HTPC which runs a Ryzen 5600G iGPU it is unable to run on all available Proton versions. Thus was forced to stream to it to play multiplayer on couch.
Works great on split-screen
Unable to run on any Proton version higher than 4.11-13 with iGPU on Ryzen 5600G. All higher versions game doesn't start.
For my Ryzen 5600G with iGPU (no discreet GPU) it doesn't run on anything higher than 4.11-13. Even Experimental fails.
Previously the game was not stable with any version higher than 4.2-9. Now it is stable with default which currently is 7.0-4.
Excellent co-op game for kids!
I would say The Witcher III is a "Master Piece" of a game! The scope and scale is mind boggling for a single player game with strong narrative in all quests including side quests!
That it is able to run on linux flawlessly is awesome as I would never would have played it otherwise! Thanks for Proton Steam!
