Anyone running the native Dota 2 version for linux under opensuse? How is your performance?
Some of my spefifics:
Thinkpad E420
Intel i5-2410M @2.30 Hz
ATI Radeon HD 6630M
4 GB ram
All graphic settings set to low/off
On win 8 x64 Fps: 40-50 Hz
It seems the driver is the latest stable one. Maybe I should try some beta driver. However it seems their site is down to me (whenever I choose linux x86):
I just find how to enable to show fps in game. In fact it seems my fps is around 50fps under opensuse but it feels very sluggish. And in console it is full with all this error throughout the whole game:
IDirect3DQuery9::GetData(): Occlusion query flush took 32.843ms!
It is fine now. But in fact the problem I had was due to the open source driver. I installed the latest beta driver from AMD and the game is much much more smooth. I think even better than in Windows 8 now.
However, there’s another problem for DOTA 2. When I search the game and alt-tab out, I can’t get notification when a matchmaking has been found.
In windows 8 (and other linux distributions so they say), when a match is found. The application icon on your taskbar flash (similar as you have got an IM message), and you’ll get sound notification as well. But it is still missing for me.
People say the DOTA 2 developer has fixed this issue. Those who still have the problem is due to their linux distribution…
My route for Valve games, is steam forums, github.
If you start steam from the command line, open a console type steam. you can after you played Dota 2 check that console for messages or errors of steam and Dota2.
If you scroll back all the way back, the first part will be about just steam, but some line there will be about dota 2 starting
My spec’s are as follows AMD Phemom II X6, ATI HD5xxx, I use the fglrx-updates graphics drivers. My performance in DOTA 2 is amazing, compared to win 7, Deb 7 and Ubuntu 13.04 I get the best performance in openSUSE x64 12.3.
High smooth fps and flawless alt tabbing. I am honestly amazed.
Really? So you use the open source driver and it’s working? Did you try the ATI driver? Maybe it’s even better? Because the opensource driver failed last time I tried it.
And do you have the alt-tab notification problem? I haven’t found the solution yet.
You might be able to still reply on the github, and explain your problem.
I am lost, because they never told me this. I did receive an email today they closed a topic of mine, but that because the problem, ( with TF ) is solved.
where can you find fglrx-updates? - I am only aware of the beta driver (13.something right now) - and I’m getting with a far better spec (i7 with an HD7950) only around 20-40 FPS … which is hilarious (no need to mention that on Win7 the performance is quite a shot higher … indeed it’s capped at 120FPS constantly - even BF4 on high settings give me around 50-60 FPS)… quite sad for me that gaming on Linux is just not going to happen in this state
I have poor performance and the Screen is all red in the Menue and ingame no Textures and Interface also red.
Tried both, High and low settings, results are the same…
