Same settings used on both. As you can see Native version looks pretty bad visually. Missing a lot of features like ground clutter and better shadows and lighting

can u try CSGO dxvk and test it with native CSGO

[ 2018-04-15 19:34:29Z ] 👍 0

Supp AFAK, CS:Go uses dx9 and not dx11. DXVK is only for dx11

i could but i don't really know if its safe, i don't want VAC ban.

Christ on a bike man, what kind of sorcery is this? I don't know what amazes me most, the shitty state of Ark on Linux, or the progress made by the DXVK.

You should have seen Ark on Linux a few months ago, Green lines on the edge of every polygon, and brown opaque water.

[ 2018-04-15 21:12:30Z ]👍 0

I'm a bit confused here; The native version seems to have more stuttering, but I'm not seeing a framerate drop recorded, am I slowly descending into madness?

[ 2018-04-16 04:08:06Z ]👍 1

I'm wondering at what point someone will turn DXVK into porting middleware.

[ 2018-05-18 22:26:20Z ] 👍 0

As of my knowledge the new thomb raider port for linux uses their own dx11 to vulkan wrapper, though it does not rely on wine

[ 2018-05-11 17:26:14Z ] 👍 0

As a note, a lightweight Context handling middleware would be nice, though. Still, I wouldn't have it clone any one current solution, and instead make it work on a much higher level.

[ 2018-04-19 07:22:27Z ] 👍 1

It's not really needed in future games, Simply replace the Context handling and you can run the same SPIR-V shaders on Dx12, Vulkan and all major Consoles. The less computation heavy shaders will run on future Mobile devices. S-Lang can convert to GLSL for GL-ES2+ and OpenGL as well, if you don't want to run SPIR-V directly. OpenGL 4.6 or Vulkan is required for SPIR-V. If the ARK developers would just switch to Vulkan for the Mac and Linux ports, the game would run this beautifully.

well gonna play native with better frame rates :DDD

[ 2018-04-16 13:52:45Z ] 👍 0

yeah, but with dxvk its gpu bound with 1440p, the performance is quite similar on 1080p just the visuals are still a lot better on the windows version. native version doesnt use GPU much at all, doesnt matter if 1440p or 1080p. Performance stays quite same

Oh, BTW, is the cheat protection working on wine as well. (Serious doubts on that.)

[ 2018-04-19 07:23:52Z ]👍 1

One more very separate note. Why doesn't Wildcard switch their game to run Vulkan on Linux and Mac, because it would get even better quality and performance than this.

I wonder where the vulkan version of the game is ...

[ 2018-12-25 11:54:57Z ]👍 0

Thank you for this video. This kinda reminds me of UT2004 back in the day which also had a Linux version on the DVD. But although performance was good VFX were missing. So I went for wine....

[ 2019-12-09 06:55:12Z ]👍 0

I do not understand why the native version is visually less good ? Is OpenGL less developed than Direct3D in this game ? Thanks for this video.

@@xpander69 This is unfortunate but this is better than nothing, small configs will be able to use the native version for games based on the Unreal Engine. Thank you for the explanations.

[ 2019-12-09 10:38:04Z ] 👍 0

It is less developed for Unreal Engine, but ARK devs are lazy, they are using opengl3.3 not 4.4 or 4.5. Thats one of the reasons for visual imparity + also ARK devs really havent tested this game on mac or linux at all.

They quietly dropped linux native, and switched to using proton. I can't play the game right now :)

[ 2023-02-27 18:15:55Z ] 👍 0

@@xpander69 Yeah I only get audio with ark, on proton. No display. It worked once, but frame rates were very poor. Like 4fps at times. I have no issues with other proton/games. I'm not sure if the display broke, when I enabled numa on my machine. Makes no sense, but that's the only change I had made. I did discover, you can still get the linux binaries if you join the linuxnative beta AND select the last thing on the compatibility list. Linux Compatibility or something, it'll then load the Linux binaries and remove the Win64 binaries. So I'm at least able to play again.

[ 2023-02-27 09:28:11Z ] 👍 0

dropping the native was probably good call. It was just awful. Missing features, no directional audio, no numpad keybinds, graphical glitches, missing textures, low performance.. just to name few. Yeah it sucks that you have to run with proton but at least it has feature parity now and actually performs fine. Just the install size is insanely big compared to native.

No. Just the native ARK didn't have proper openGL support with features.. Settings are same, but native version missed ground clutter and other stuff + no directional sound etc. Native was complete BS. Congrats you found a video from more than 6 years ago :)
