No stuttering for me on Linux… Runs as good as it ever has but the visuals are even that much better due to the engine upgrades. Not a fan of the new UI, but the old UI was clunky too, so I can’t really say it’s even a step backwards.
Pretty much exactly my experience and takeaway on both Windows and Linux.
It’s definitely not the smoothest launch… But the review bomb has felt a bit undeserved.
Are you using proton experimental?
Proton experimental and (at least as of yesterday) I had to opt into bleeding edge beta as well or I’d just get black screen at launch.
I don’t understand why they don’t test these things and get feedback before the launch. A new user interface that is much worse than the old one should be easy to test and get feedback on by the community.
Having played it, I’m basically 100% convinced it was designed for consoles. I’d hope there’s no way internally someone on the PC side didn’t protest the new UI, and was overruled.
On W11, every time I get shot, my game freezes and stutters for about 0.5 second. Unplayable until fixed. A friend I play with has his FPS tank into the ~30s at the worst possible times, and then the mouse and crosshair feel disconnected, so also unplayable for him. We both have up to date everything.
Had to enable bleeding edge proton experimental otherwise it would just black screen, then me and my friends couldn’t join each other until we each restarted.
Kept crashing for me and my fiance.
