Deus Ex Mankind Divided Gameplay on Ubuntu Linux (Native)
Deus Ex Mankind Divided running natively on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit!
This new title to Linux is brought to us by Feral Interactive, only shortly after the Windows release. Usually we wait a year or longer!
We now have one of the heaviest games graphically of 2016 we can use to benchmark our system.
DXMD runs with OpenGL 4 on Linux currently, but by H1 2017 there's a chance it will have Vulkan support on Linux.
I used my wireless 360 controller throughout this video, since using KB/M hurts with rsi. The controller support is solid!
Saves are crossplatform, so you can save and play on Ubuntu and Windows without a hitch.
DXMD is one of the heavier titles of 2016, with a lot of high poly assets in the scenes and adventurous lighting with the new Dawn engine.
The FPS counter on the top left is the Steam Overlay fps counter for those wondering.
Overall, the simple verdict is that the game is stable and playable, but framerate wise it looks like it might be a while before we have any hardware on the market that can keep a steady 60fps at Ultra regardless of OS.
AMD and Intel are not currently officially supported, and this is due to outstanding issues in both AMD and Intel's Linux drivers. Feral are working towards making it work on these GPUs.
This video is recorded at 1080p 60fps. A Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4k was used to record the footage on a separate machine, so no performance loss happens due to recording.
If you love action rpg games, loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, then DXMD is a must get for your Linux gaming library! If only Eidos would further the story along more than they currently have.
