Michael, can you have a look at https://playrust.com/devblog-107/ ?? In the middle part of the update they claim the following:

You can get involved too: just open the game, open the console and type in benchmark. It’ll run a bunch of tests then open a webpage with your results. You can share the URL with your friends or with us to see what kind of performance you’re getting. Here’s my work PC. If you keep your results together you’ll be able to compare your results across versions, and flag up any performance changes with us.

This is for regular users but they also mention that they have automated benchmarking running on their own all the time now. Maybe you could automate it for yourself too?

For some reason the "Feral mini site" shows Mac ☹

I'd be interested to know about this as well. We need more real games with good benchmark parameters. (well, specifically I'd like to know if Tomb Raider has the appropriate parameters)

If it first requires opening the game and then opening the console to run benchmark, it already fails if it can't be automated from start-up with some command line switches.

Wow Lara Croft looks old (and apparently bald) in this picture https://i2.wp.com/files.facepunch.co...malecloth1.jpg

Questions:

Why doesn't PTS use (or create if it doesn't exist) a universal library that would automate benchmarking of any OpenGL game? Via LD_PRELOAD, or via kernel syscall tracing if LD_PRELOAD isn't enough.

Is among the problems preventing such a library in PTS the lack of time to implement the library?

Is among the problems preventing such a library in PTS also something else?

Please reply so that we can resolve what the problems preventing such a universal library are.

There is apitrace, but overhead means the results won't be the same exact performance the first play through was.

Nothing on Steam?

Automating PTS benchmarks requires keyboard, mouse and gamepad input emulation. Can apitrace do that?

No, I'm pretty sure the trace would have to be made manually. And then replaying the trace kind of requires you to sit in front of it to set it up.
