So I'm playing with Intel graphics with a fairly beefy setup with Intel on Linux, and getting a whopping 16FPS with Intel. Going to try with nVidia, but during the summer alpha I was getting a solid 60FPS.
Anyone else having this issue?

Not sure what DE you are using, but If i use Gnome i get 8fps. It seems the game is not being unredirected. If i run it in blackbox I get 20-30fps, and this is on an acer c720 running Arch linux.
I run XFCE.
I've seen similar complaints on the forums about piss poor performance on Intel graphics. Maybe it was you?
Also, if you're going to troubleshoot Albion as a Linux user, your best bet is to look for issues in the Unity engine as well. That's how I fixed my initial CTD problems.
No issues on Nvidia (using XFCE as well) so if that's an option for you I'd recommend that in the meantime.
Disable Shadows. My HD4000 is running at 40-50FPS with shadows off graphics settings on High. Intel graphics have never dealt with shadows well.
I didn't play alpha but I've read complaints of Intel graphics performance on OS X and Windows as well. Maybe they changed some shaders or something to be more complex.
FWIW I get near-solid 60fps with the binary nvidia drivers under Linux and max settings.
Yeah I just changed to nVidia (optimus now works under Linux, so nice for a change) and works well. :)
