Gaming In Linux : Amnesia Dark Descent

[PSPfanBOY22]

So this means it's running OpenGL right?

[Bobobobobobo4298]

[Jakejw93]

@Bobobobobobo4298 Type in Amnesia on google then buy the Linux version..

I want to play this game on Linux (Kubuntu 11.04), but it runs slowly, even on medium setting, and 1024x768.

On Windows 7 I played it on 1600x900 and on almost full graphics and ran with a decent speed (22-35 FPS).

I have official ATI Driver installed (the latest one). Any idea?

[justezero]

@RatmanXX configure your desktop with minimal effects or non effects and then play the game, you may gain 20 fps in that way

[RatmanXX]

@justezero Nevermind. I always disable desktop effects before gaming, When I passed the first section of the game, before the old archives it is slow, then from the old archives it runs perfectly... That's very odd, but at least it works.

[technologyvictim]

low frame rate? why? because of screen recorder ? Or it is this way?

Is this app native?

[Jakejw93]

@technologyvictim It is native yes, low framerates are caused by my old hardware and desktop recorder! :)

[kingcrimson234]

ugh. ubuntu. just use debian instead.

[Jakejw93]

@kingcrimson234 nahh think i will stick to ubuntu...

I got a small problem with this game on Ubuntu..I installed it succesfully and I can get to the configuration menu at the begin. But when I try to launch the game, nothing happens, the screen flickers a bit but than returns to the desktop.

@bartjoboy: Do you know what graphics card you have installed? And do you use the free or propierity drivers?

[bartjoboy]

@MDxm3000 I got an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650, and I use propierity drivers (I think at least, I installed it when Ubuntu said that there was a new 3th party driver available, but didn't go to ATI's website to download the drivers from there)

[myromance123]

@bartjoboy, basically I think your catalyst driver is not up to the game's requirements. Its a common issue that ATI drivers on Linux can't handle certain 3D requirements. I would suggest trying the actual drivers from ATI's website and see if that makes it work for you. Sometimes the ones given by Ubuntu are just a tad too old to work right.

This happened with my x1600 on Ubuntu for L4D 1 before. Sadly I had to change to Nvidia...

[bartjoboy]

@myromance123 Thanks for the hint. :D But I kind of fixed it already some time ago. I needed root access to run the game properly apperently, so I just had to do sudo *path to launcher file* to run it, kind of anoying I couldn't start it with the normal button, but at least it worked.. :P

[Jakejw93]
