Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games have released a PC demo for Little Nightmares 3. This demo will let you get a taste of it before purchasing it. So, if you are interested in it, you should definitely check it out.
Little Nightmares III is a spooky adventure game where you follow two best friends, Low and Alone. Each of them will have a special item: Low has a bow, and Alone has a wrench. Players can use these tools to help each other. They can sneak through secret paths, climb over big obstacles, and always look out for one another. Whether you’re playing with a friend or with the computer as your partner, you’ll need to work together and use your special items to move forward in the game.
The world in Little Nightmares III will be full of clues and things kids with big imaginations can use. Low can shoot arrows to hit high places, cut ropes, or take down flying enemies. On the other hand, Alone uses a wrench to crush stunned enemies, break walls, or control big machines.
Players might have to play a scary game of hide and seek with the Monster Baby in the sandy ruins of the Necropolis. They’ll try to escape hungry Candy Weevils in a creepy Candy Factory. And they’ll need to dodge giant feet while running through a wet, dirty funfair. To survive, players must be ready to run, hide, or fight back at any moment.
You can go ahead and download the demo from here.
Bandai Namco will release Little Nightmares 3 on October 10th. You can also find its official PC system requirements here.
Have fun!

UE 4.27, DX12 with a shader compilation step. Game still has PSO stutters nontheless.
1. Game runs super well in raster or RT
2. Game has Reflex forced at all times
3. The Upscaler options only have Ultra Performance, Balanced, Quality and Ultra Quality ratios. No native, no performance, lol.
4. Game only has DLSS FG as an FG solution.
Game runs really well. FSR 3.1 modded looks outstanding, as do DLSS, XeSS, FSR4 and even the native TAA (and you can mod TAAU and TSR of course). The native FSR option unfortunately shimmers at Low-Medium settings. Devs could have made this better.
Game has forced film grain and chromatic aberration with no in-game option to turn it off. You can disable both in in

Hey [Ray]man, good to see you around again! 🙂
AFAIR, you are rocking an AMDGPU 7900 XTX, right?
If so, and since you mention FSR4, I assume you already tried out the pre-4.0 DLL via OptiScaler compiled from AMD's leaked source-code making use of INT8 instead of FP8 as used on RDNA4.
How's your experience so far?
Personally, I'm impressed that it even runs on the Steam Deck's puny RDNA2 iGPU and provides a noticeably clearer image in motion compared to FSR 3.X!
Also, are you still on Fedora Linux?
Then I would highly recommend that you try out the Sched-Ext on-the-fly (i.e. without rebooting) switchable CPU schedulers which is part of the upstream Linux kernel 6.12+.
I can highly recommend scx_bpfland even in its default auto mode, which can provide clear benefits over the standard EEVDF CPU scheduler.
That Sched-Ext feature is easily one of the biggest revolutions in the history of OS design, and it's only getting started…
Cheers!
Hey man.
Still 7900 XTX, yes. I've had FSR4 INT8 for almost a month. Was using it on Linux before. I don't have Fedora right now, Ubuntu 24.04 due to wanting to play with PyTorch and TensorFlow. I am using Mesa Git.
I'll look up what you mentioned.
While CachyOS provides an easy to use GUI to configure Sched-Ext, you're still in luck, because the fact you are running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS makes the process of getting the latest Sched-Ext schedulers rather easy, however you will need to do some configuring yourself.
Here's a short guide:
First, please make sure you are using Linux 6.12+, either by switching to the kernel HWE branch of Ubuntu or by adding the custom XanMod Linux kernel.
Even if you don't want to install the XanMod kernel as an alternative, please visit its website and add its software repository, because that way you can automatically stay up-to-date on the latest Sched-Ext schedulers release.
After adding the XanMod repository as described on its website, simply run the following command to install the various Sched-Ext CPU schedulers:
sudo apt install scx-schedsNow, simply edit the text file under /etc/default/scx and add scx_bpfland on the first line after the = sign.
(It likely defaults to scx_flash, which is closely related to scx_bpfland and a really good CPU scheduler, too.)
Finally, make sure to enable & start the systemd service file:
sudo systemctl enable scx.service
sudo systemctl start scx.serviceYou can check its status via:
systemctl status scxAnother thing I would strongly recommend is to enable full kernel preemption, which will lower the latencies of Linux and therefore be beneficial for gaming workloads.
To do that on Ubuntu, modify the text file under /etc/default/grub and add the following to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line:
preempt=fullTo apply the above:
sudo update-grubNote that activating full kernel preemption will require a reboot, unlike Sched-Ext.
Hope my short guide helps and should you need any help, please feel free to ask.
Enjoy your stay on Linux! 🙂
