Performance and Sound Issues on (K)Ubuntu 13.10
« on: December 30, 2013, 12:25:17 AM »
Hello.

I usually play on my Windows PC but tried it on my Laptop with Ubuntu today. When I run the game with lightning effects on, it is lagging very much - input to screen reaction as a delay of half a second. Also the sound is stuttering. I already set it to lowest settings so its actually playable, but the sound is still not enjoyable.

Anyone experienced the same on Ubuntu or any other Linux OS?

Edit: My system specs
Intel Core i5 430M 2,26GHz
Ati Mobility Radeon HD5650
4GB RAM

This is most probably ubuntu's fault. I had this issue before, when i used Ubuntu 13.10, and i had that weird delay, and lag, but then i installed new proprietary graphics drivers, which increased the fps like 20 frames, but it still wasn't good enough. Then i used Ubuntu 12.10 LTS, and i can play games like i did in windows, so try installing new proprietary graphics drivers, or downgrade to 12.10. To get these drivers, search "Additional Drivers" on the software centre.
