That looks fun. Maybe I'll be better at this than I was at Ghost'n'Goblins. 😄

Nice! Let's hope they updated systemd to a slightly newer stable build this time and do finally include our udev changes. :)

I'm still upset I can't buy FH4 anymore. I didn't fancy it at the time as I wasn't into racing games aside from burnout and GT4 back then, and now it's unavailable unless you pay literally £110 from a grey market key reseller.

I just want a racing game set in the UK man :( FH5 will be going soon too I'm sure, though at least they do tend to do steep discounts on most of the games before delisting.

I even have a console, but sadly it's blue not green and FH4 was exclusive to Xbox. sad

YES! Practical/gameplay use of fluid simulation! There have been some major advancements in real time fluid simulation, I've been waiting for this level of tech for so many years. DrainSim has exceptional fluid simulation, I can't wait to see more games implement proper fluid dynamics. Hydrophobia had me thinking it would happen far sooner than it has.

Just a reminder to report any issues to Valve's GitHub - [here's the ticket](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/394) for this particular game - there's no recent comments with Proton logs on it.

Fellowship will have control over the likes of The Lord of the Rings [...] along with being the home of [...] Warhorse Studios.

So the rumors that Warhorse might be working on a LotR RPG cannot yet be debunked :-).

That has been confirmed.

Quoting: Kimyrielleinteresting new features OTHER than the forced civ changing that would make VII stand out in some way from VI.

They tend to change the graphics style in each iteration; it does look nice from the screenshots (I seem to recall lots of people were complaining about the style of VI when it came out, although it never bothered me).

Besides that, I found this overview - the forced change for each age leads the list, but there's other things:

I suspect the "Steam OS is supported but not Linux" is more that they don't want an obligation to provide support for any random distribution someone might be running. Steam OS is a known quantity and if it works there the rest of us can get it working anyway.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft's cloud saves remain broken. Good on Squenix for this QoL bump. I love to see it.

I never finished Just Cause 3 because I lost my save years ago. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Quoting: Mountain ManIn short, it retains the core design of Civ VII while adding a more traditional points-based victory system.

I guess it had not occurred to you that someone would be asking about this precisely because they don't know what the core design of Civ VII is like. Nobody ever talks about it, people only talk about the heresy aspects, so it's not obvious that there are other significant elements of core design.

I don't even know what he's asking any more. 🤣

Pretty much what Purple Library Guy tried to explain. I have no idea how this simple thing turned into an unsolvable enigma for you, and why. Or how to get it across in a way that makes you understand. If that's even possible. Again, never mind. I will try to find out what OTHER features that game actually got, myself. But yes, the reason why I asked is really that - nobody seemed to have talked much about any aspect of Civ VII, except that controversial one.

PS: You do realize that if you gender assume people on the internet, there is a 50% chance to get it wrong, yes?

Hey, my English teacher was old school, and she taught that when gender is unknown, you use masculine pronouns. 😆

Quoting: Max CoronelPlayed for about 4 hours. The game is running way better than expected (as long RT is turned on).
No black screen, no audio issues, no crashes or visual glitches son far. It just works.
It's far from perfect though. Some hickups here and there, and overall performance could be better.

Mine is running well with the exception that if I turn RT on it crashes so it’s surprising to me that you’re experiencing the opposite.

probably a typo, i heard that RT was currently busted on Linux.

I finally gave in to the temptation today and bought the standard edition, and it's working really nicely on my 7900 XT with Bazzite. There were some stutters but i eliminated them mostly by turning down some settings like terrain deformation and Environment quality. Then I played 5 hours straight with no issues 😊
If you ask me, it's already the year of Linux Desktop. A Microsoft game working well on Linux on the day of release, that's amazing and nobody would have believed that back in 2015! 😝

At least the graphics aren't in the "uncanny valley" like inZOI's can be at times. Though some of the characters do look weird still. lol

I've already played it on Playstation, so i'm not gonna buy it again.
For Darksiders 2 however - I had softlocked myself somehow and lost interest afterwards because I was already 2/3 through the game.

This has been my first online strategy game! Loved it a lot, then Age of empires 2 came out and I kinda forget about it, but always held a special place in my heart as a strategy game, really one of a kind that could have gotten more attention if the market wasn't overly saturated by other great titles! I miss this era tbh sometimes.

Anachronox is one of those games I always wanted to get into, but never manager passed the first few minutes.

Squenix, now that you want to preserve games, why won't you bring Vagrant Story to PC? Or even better, do a remake.

Quoting: KimyrielleBut hey, you can also always opt to just be rude about it.

Or I could have answered your question by pointing out the two most significant changes in the update: more freedom to play as the civilization you want, and the elimination of railroad-y legacy paths. In short, it retains the core design of Civ VII while adding a more traditional points-based victory system.

Which isn't really what my question asked, but hey. You know what? Nevermind.

Frankly, your question doesn't make any sense. Is Civ VII indistinguishable from Civ VI? Of course not, but neither is Civ VI indistinguishable from Civ V, and V is not indistinguishable from IV, and so on.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can we just... move on? Please?

Article updated after speaking with NVIDIA. The 570 series is "end-of-life status" and was not updated for this security issue, and has been removed from the list. Make sure you using one of the updated series noted in the article.
