Bioshock Infinite Gameplay on Ubuntu (Native/eON)
79Gameplay of Bioshock Infinite running on Ubuntu 15.04 64bit natively, at Ultra settings!
Virtual Programming have released their third Linux port, wrapped in eON.
Timeline:
1. Fullscreen max settings 1:16
2. Fullscreen min settings 14:17
3. Windowed min settings 16:17
4. Windowed max settings 17:17
First and only serious problem I've noticed, serious Mouse Input lag. It's just not worth playing with a keyboard and mouse right now. It does NOT have this issue with the 360 xbox controller, which works fully.
Bioshock Infinite may be a revival for VP's reputation in the Linux community, as this port is actually a lot better than even some Unity3D native games!
I have not yet pitted it against itself when run in Windows natively, so it remains to see if VP's technology is up to snuff when compared the the native Windows version
It is however, extremely playable on Linux. Lower end graphics card users may struggle a bit though, unless you drop all settings to low. I honestly believe anyone can play when running on Low settings (the excess fps is a lot).
Take note that the majority of the screen tearing is caused by SSR in this video. Anything that is visible to me in realtime, I will mention aloud in the video.
WARNING: I have no idea how this works for AMD graphics users. It will not work on Intel, or any open source driver per instruction by Virtual Programming. This is due to Mesa not yet choosing to support the OpenGL 4 specification.
The recommended requirements for Bioshock Infinite showcases the bad situation AMD's Linux drivers are currently in, and I'm sorry for AMD-only users who don't have a choice right now and really want to play this game. It's currently HD7000 series and above only.
If you're into the Bioshock games, and have waited on this beauty, then go grab it now! Show the developers some Linux love!
