Quoting: legluondunetOnce again, a console game that are badly ported on PC.
I would like to buy it day one, but finally, after reading comments here and elsewhere, I will wait until they optimized the game.
I don't want to buy a game full price that is not optimized and buggy, PC gamers deserve as respect as console gamers.

I agree. I was waiting for this game also and was going to buy it on release if it worked with Linux.

Well.. it works with Linux. Terribly. But it also works terribly on Windows apparently, so that's fair.

In any case. I'll wait.

Quoting: Sojiro84I would say the Resident Evil 4 remake is a perfect release. That game has amazing performance and, as far as I could tell, no bugs or other game breaking issues.

Strange, I had to refund it. No settings could be changed or adjusted. Completely broken and unplayable for me - Proton github. Both the demo and the full game.

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderw00t another free game ill never play...... But I will still take it.....

You should give it a try. Both Alwa games are great platformers.

Which means, I can't get the free game, as I already own it

Really? I couldn't even get to the settings menu without RE4 hard hanging my deck.

I wish it could add more benefits in terms of how AMD APUs/GPUs utilize ram more efficiently. This news (overall…though) is good.

Quoting: CatKillerMentioned last month, but it would be nice to have Cosmic separated out as its own option for those that are on Pop.

Quoting: CyrilLiam, could you add the Geforce 8400 GS (the desktop version, not the "M")? Thanks!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyTungsten might be good?

If you do something to make it less brittle, you'd probably decrease the melting point.

You couldn't use modern steel-bridges sort of techniques, but people used to make bridges out of stone, which is pretty brittle. Just use great big chunks stacked up and base the solidity on arches and stuff, rather than tension and flexibility. It would require ludicrous, unrealistic amounts of tungsten, but we're talking about building bridges over lava here.

Tungsten could work, you are right. It just depends o the depth at which you place the inferno, as well as the ambient pressure.

Assuming 1atm, it wouldn't melt before the outer core, which is 3000km deep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_gradient

Stone... obviously would get melted in lava, unless you actively cool it down, which is what I was initially thinking about :)

Quoting: HxEI will laugh if after this nvidia shows up and says "you know what, dlss 3 is actually possible on rtx 2000 series" because it will be the last chance to push this proprietary nonsense on people

Anyone remember Gsync Displays? Me neither.

But that remake is a exception these day's. The default release method of most game developers is launching a broken mess and then we have to wait and hope for it to get fixed.

Quoting: EikeBut where would all those 32 bit games get their environment from?

All these games can use a compatibility (like steam linux runtime). All the good 64 bit native games should only use native libraries and no runtime at all.

Valve must clean the steam client and any junk can be thrown to compatibility.

Quoting: PenglingThat is thoroughly brilliant in its wonkiness!

The original Star Craft had the same issue: Carrier house Interceptor. Same on regular buildings, but not that obvious – but why should it say house only when something is being built!?

"End of Life" alert for Windows 10/11 when

Somebody needs to make a GameCube JetPack Mini Disc DVD-Rom for Steam Deck and people can literally throw game cube discs into the drive on the back of the Steam Deck.

That'd be hilarious, and fitting.

Quoting: Oet_AMD RX 6900 XT also shows 8GB of VRAM (and the mentioned out of date driver warning that can be ignored). The 70 FPS average seem a bit low, so gonna compare these issues with Windows 11.

Arch Linux:
+ Compiling shaders faster than Windows
+ Shorter loading times than Windows
- Shows only 8 VRAM in settings
- FPS 10 frames less than Windows

Windows 11:
+ Shows all 16 VRAM in settings
+ FPS 10 frames higher than Linux
- Compiling shaders way slower than Linux
- Longer loading times than Linux

Guess Linux and Windows score 2 versus 2. I even got the same out of date driver warning on Windows, so needed to update my one month old driver. My choice will be a Linux playthrough, obviously.

QuoteIt will take around an hour to build the shaders on the main menu

Wow.

Quotewith many people on Windows reporting problematic performance and constant crashes.

When was the last big release where everything worked on release? You spend more money and are rewarded with a miserable experience.


Edit: According to several reviews the German version features a wrong translation for building shaders, i.e. in the sense of house shaders.

Resident Evil 4? Is it perfect? Probably not but why is that the bar? It's very similar to the Last of Us, many people are no doubt choosing between the two, and its reviews are overwhelmingly positive a week after release, very few technical complaints.

Relative to its peers, this seems exceptionally bad, Exceptions are newsworthy.

For a game called "The Last Of Us" there sure are a lot of them.......

That is thoroughly brilliant in its wonkiness! Obligatory link;

QuoteI once did a translation about a space ship simulator - in this context space is translated as ruimte (space as in universe). The client copied and pasted the word ruimte to a message popping up every 3 seconds, instructing the user to press SPACE (as in space bar) to jump, without consulting me beforehand. The result was that the user was instructed to press the universe every so many seconds. The end result, reminiscent of Zero Wing (All Your Base Are Belong To Us), was run into the ground by all review sites.

FWIW it appears to be getting mostly negative reviews on Steam, mostly from those disgruntled by it being a horrible port in the first place. I was just about to buy it too.

Quoting: headless_cyborgIt runs very well on my RX 6700 XT, however it only detects 8GB of VRAM (the GPU has 12GB) and that leads to slowdowns and texture pop-ins.

Quoting: pete910This will make Nintendo ecstatic

The amusing thing is that actually it should.
Like, if they embraced the whole deal and stuck a bunch of their games on Steam with a big fanfare they might sell a lot of games with almost zero cost to them.
But we know they won't.

Nintendo's business model has always been "You buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games." You're never going to see Mario officially appear in a game on a non-Nintendo platform.

Quoting: KlaasIf there really is a file with the content included in CS2, someone might have put it there as a joke.

If that was the case, I would have expected a Half-Life 3 reference.

Quoting: KlaasSince Doom 64 is on sale, I've recently discovered that there is a source port that supports the modified game data of the remastered version: https://github.com/atsb/Doom64EX-Plus

Waiting for the AUR!

Quoting: headless_cyborgIt runs very well on my RX 6700 XT, however it only detects 8GB of VRAM (the GPU has 12GB) and that leads to slowdowns and texture pop-ins. I already applied a "workaround" (switched from Ultra to "only" high) but it should be fixed either by game devs or in Proton. I saw people with RX 6600s saying that in their case, only 4GB is detected.

So it is a issue across the PC space then, I was thinking it was only a deck prolem.

Great!

It looks like a great game that I want to play on Linux.

However, it would be cool if they could port the DRM-free version of Marble Blast Gold to Linux.
