To be devil’s advocate, the game’s focus is mostly online, so Denuvo doesn’t play a big role here.
There is not much activity in this gaming space, likely why people are buying the same game for the third time.
Runs like a total ass on Linux
Runs fine on my Fedora desktop and steam deck.
I’m on Fedora as well, 5800X3D + 9070XT +64GB RAM. Extreme settings anything else but locked 60FPS feels like playing on a rubber band, it’s not FPS stutter but the entire game physics keep slowing down and speeding up every few seconds.
Only environmental textures to LOW or lock to 60FPS via Mangohud makes it playable. I’ve tried Proton GE 10-34 and Experimental, makes no difference.
Wasn’t designed for Linux. What made you think it would run well there?
Because in over 3y since I’m on Linux this is only a 2nd game I’ve bought which has some major issues at launch. I’m simply putting a warning for people here since many Lemmy users are also Linux users
As I’ve stated in my other comment, current workaround for me is to cap the game at 60FPS via Mangohud. That makes it playable just fine but my PC has much more performance to spare so there is something else going on besides “bad performance”.
The devs worked to get it Steam Deck verified, which means intent to support it.
Cus most other games that weren't made for linux run well on linux.
That's a bummer. FH5 runs great on my Steam Deck with FSR.
IDK if I'd say it's well optimized. Definitely not as bad as other games, but for the power it's a downgrade from 5 to be sure.
It runs better than FH5 for me, at equivalent visuals. And it looks better with only slightly more taxing performance for me.
They fixed bugs too, like DLSS ghosting in FH5.
If you are running it on Linux though, be warned that the workarounds for it are crazy. It is not a good proton game yet.
Just had to load cachyos proton and it worked for me. Check protondb for your distro.
Even if it runs, and runs alright, that doesn’t mean it’s performant. Last I read from the dev comments, the workarounds for FH6 are gnarly and not optimized yet.
This is not a knock on proton; I run Cachy too. But I think that’s just the state of it.
like DLSS ghosting in FH5.
That was still an issue for me. I only got like 5 more FPS so I just turned it off.
What power?
Compute. Mostly GPU, the game doesn't seem to touch my CPU much.
It's maxed out both CPU and GPU for me if I crank the settings up, but it's not running well under Proton at the moment. Especially on AMD GPU. Microstutter hell.
Do you have an X3D cpu? I have seen some evidence it is related to the CPU as Nvidia users are also experiencing the micro-stuttering on proton.
I currently have two computers. One is Ryzen 5800X and an Geforce 4070TI. The other is Corei5 12600 and Radeon 9070XT.
I haven't had a chance to try the game on the Nvidia card yet, but ProtonDB gave me the impression it ran better on Nvidia at the moment.
My friend's system is a 7800x3d and it was super stuttery until he capped the FPS.
Capping the FPS externally is a good idea in pretty much all games.
Yeah, but going down from 120 to 60 just to get a playable experience sucks.
I haven't had a chance to test Linux. All my testing has been Windows so far, but I have installed it on a Linux system. That system is pretty heavily CPU limited, but it's Nvidia.
My friend on Linux with AMD had a lot of stutters until he capped the game to 60fps.
Capping does nothing, neither does vsync at the moment. You can see ProtonDB which confirms this is true.
It'll run a little better if you turn graphics down to medium/low but there's still some microstutter even then. Gotta wait for updates.
Are you saying it draws less CPU resources while performing roughly the same?
No. It draws so much more from my GPU that my CPU is sitting relatively idle.
