S.T.A.L.K.E.R. / openXray
« on: July 14, 2023, 11:42:48 am »
STALKER now runs natively on IBM POWER thanks to openXray and porting progress over a few months. Performance isnt the greatest so far but its been stable with no crashes and perfectly playable

Not the greatest. I need to try to compile with some optmization CFLAGs, it can vary from over 80 to down to 20~30 something depending on whats going on.

Awesome! I actually just found a LuaJIT fork modified to compile for ppc64le a little while ago and was going to try and compile it this weekend, but it looks like the community beat me to it. Is this the main branch of the project that now compiles for ppc64le? If so, I will try to do that in the next week instead.

No, and it was more than just LuaJIT. PR is being submitted and waiting to be added to the main branch. Engine could use some more optmizations for PPC64 but the opengl renderer is bad on any platform until they have vulkan implemented.

as an update, didn't do much but i think this is mostly due to the render and engine rather than PPC64LE, can always benefit from a power dev though.

Has the patch been merged? I have an RX 6600 and can take a crack at it later in the week.

I’ve had no luck, but the project notes indicate a ceiling of GCC 10 is supported and I’m running Fedora 38, so my woes are probably tied to that. Need to give it another try this weekend.
