Hi. I used the fpv Freerider demo and the recharged one for a long time on my old Linux pc and it worked pretty great. So I bought the full(recharged) version and the same map as the demo wasn’t playable due to lagging(not sure it’s the right terme), and I get about max one frame every seconds on the lowest graphics quality. I tried many thing to solve this issue I also bought some new more ram memory. I went from 2 go ddr2 to 4 go ddr3. And nothing changed. The demo still work fine at highest graphics and map load much more quicker, only thing I didn’t managed to changed is the center stick dead zone. I’d like to know why? Can it be fixed? Can I get a refund? Just one map was barely fly able but really bad, the Factory. It’s really disappointing.

Hi, I vaguely remember hearing of someone else having a similar problem a long time ago I think. I don't remember if he ever found a solution though.

My advice would be to use some kind of performance graph utility (I think there is usually some built in on most Linux distributions). That way you could potentially see why it performs so poorly. The desert map in the full version is exactly the same as in the demo, so it should perform exactly the same.

One frame per second is definitely way too low, there must be something wrong.

Perhaps you can check if your graphics card drivers are updated to the latest version. 

Perhaps it will run better if you force OpenGL by running:

user@computer:~$ ./FPVFreerider_Recharged.x86_64 -force-opengl


You can also try running the simulator in a window and see if that makes a difference. You need to pass command line parameters to the executable. 

For example: 

-screen-fullscreen 0 -screen-width 800 -screen-height 400

(That will run the simulator in a 800x400 window)

Not sure how to pass command line parameters on Linux but I think you can do it if you launch the executable from a command line shell.

If all fails you can ask for a refund here on Itch. (As a developer I do not have direct control over puchases/refunds myself).
