  • This game is buggy on Windows, moreso on Linux.

    I get memory leaks when playing for longer than an hour. My pc has 48gb of memory, and i’ve caught gw2.exe taking over 10gb by itself after a long session. This has happened to me on multiple distros and machines. If you let it continue it eventually crashes the game

    That said, it’s pretty playable. You can just reboot your pc when you are done.

    You should try to figure out what’s going on with Ubuntu. Maybe try a different proton version, or try using proton-GE. You could also look at Lutris and either use that or copy the relevant flags they are using to your launch options in Steam.

    I play (not often) on Fedora just using steam. My gpu is AMD. No big issues except the memory leak.

    It also very well could still be a driver issue. Driver installation is a bit different on Linux vs Windows, perhaps something wasnt enabled or configured properly.












  • I used to work on them (along with other cars) professionally.

    Saw half a dozen Teslas get stuck in the parking lot during my two years there, usually picking someone up. The cars would just shut down and refuse to move. Sometimes they had to be towed.

    The plastic trim and underbody panels are poorly made and poorly fitted. You will often notice edges cut off of them so they almost fit in place, but often the one on the underside of the back trunk will have a ripple to it.

    The metal body panels are also bad. Uneven spacing between panels is common. Often a quarter panel will have a small gap (as it should) on one side of the car, but on the other side the panels are actually touching. Other times the gap will be uneven along a single seam.

    Nearly everything on the car is held together by single-use plastic push-pins, or metal self-tapping screws into plastic and metal panels. If you are really lucky you will get a metal screw into a nylon backing. Where Toyota or Subaru would use a reusable screw or fastener, Tesla alway uses something cheaper and disposable.

    We also commonly came across loose fittings on connectors on various wiring harnesses, which we could sometimes fix by just jamming the wire into the hole. Not really something we ever saw on other manufacturers.

    I lived in Fremont for a few years, the site of one of their factories. My friends who worked there had so many stories of problems being noticed on the line, and being told to just move it along.

    Maybe they do unusually bad work in Fremont, and the Teslas made elsewhere are better. I’ve mainly seen these issues on Models S, X, and 3, i left that job before the Cybertruck was available

    Separate from all that, i personally think the touchpad display seems unsafe. All functions of the car to be performed or modified by the driver should be possible without looking. A touchpad requires you to look at it, whereas physical buttons can be felt before being pressed.

    Consumer Reports gave the X and S 30/100 in reliability, among the lowest scores they gave in that category.
