I also had a blast this year playing through Avowed which is a ue5 game and had absolutely zero stuttering or other performance issues. It looked and played amazingly.

edit: side note ... the steam app itself is really shitting the bed recently isn't it? The other day my next fest page was completely screwed up and nonsensical, now today clicking the link on a dev is completely broken! If you go to the store page for Outer Worlds 1 and click on Obsidian as the dev, it takes you to the completely wrong place ... It goes to Private Division instead. I thought I was going crazy for a minute forgetting who even developed Avowed. But nope, store is just broken.

Yeah, bit of an odd comment. The direction of this game is incredibly clear. You go through rounds of brick breaking with your magical balls, then go back to do a little town building for extra resources and character unlocking. Repeat. I know some games really can be confusing, but I truly don't see how this can be.

It's got a really solid engine… I wish it were more popular than U-Stutter Engine

Well, Unreal Engine is free to use for all developers with the source available, the latest id tech is just their own.

Haemimont Games are the ones doing this still.

without clear direction

But there is a clear direction: Up the screen!

This whole thing reminds me of the openoffice/libreoffice split all those years ago. I remember at the time going "whoa, this is a huge deal" and not being sure how it would all work out.

Now, a bunch of years later, libreoffice is THE defacto gold standard, it's used and liked (mostly lol) everywhere, and I haven't even heard of openoffice in an eternity. I did just now look it up, but it looks like abandonware. Apparently Apache runs it? But it hasn't been updated in two years.

So basically a survival game without the prospect of imminent death. Sounds fun.

Tried the demo: loved it. Bought the game D-1: loved it.
Very interesting mixes of game play: action during fight mode and ''construction'' in between.
Loved the graphic style also.
I recommend.

thank you for the highlight @gamingonlinux

Just donated. My first open source patch was a fix for KDE 1.0. Been participating in open source ever since.

Hard pass. Loved the original game, but not enough to hand over cash for what any other game would be a free update.

Hamaimont Games, the original devs, haven't been involved for a long time now. The last two DLC were not well received (buggy, poor design) so it's hard to get excited over more. So I'm not seeing the attraction, tbh. It's just a cash grab.

Unreal Engine does not have to stutter, most devs simply don't care.

See Satisfactory for example, one of the best running and even complex UE5 games I ever played and doesn't even stutter with tons of factories on screen.

Which makes me assume other devs simply don't care.

Paradox double-dip? That's a "hell no".

Let me guess they disabled forced ray tracing on handhelds?

This might be the closest I'll ever be to owning a camper van... But the base building and crafting mechanism doesn't really appeal :(

No Native build this time.

I liked the original, might give this a try at 19,99 if it's a native build

Well, it may have its flaws, but I survived Outpost. Remember that one? Talking about flaws.

NOICE! I just finished it recently. Probably the best Doom I've ever played… AND a semi well played out storyline!? WTF! 🤯 It's got a really solid engine… I wish it were more popular than U-Stutter Engine

I don't really understand what you mean here? Like a lot of games it has an upgrade system, you earn as you go and buy things. This is all really pretty standard game mechanics on progression.

I get that you think it's a shame, but at least in FOSS communities, instead of a bunch of firings and a big nose deciding they're gonna 'stay the course' anyway, you get a new fork with new rules/guidelines and the public can decide for themselves what path they like more.

Seeing it in context of how capitalist enterprises normally handle these situations, it no longer feels like a shame to me, it feels like a triumph. FOSStastic!

not involved into gzdoom in any way

Well, just maybe all the people who are involved and did the nuclear option of forking an established thing know a bit more than you do?

not involved into gzdoom in any way, but it looks like too much of mobbing, while the project leader left only one one-liner of a reply.

Graf has a history of being a major dick, and hyper controlling.

Well, not in the github issue mentioned in the article. If I was a major dick and a control freak, I would delete everyone's comments and ban them immediately and permanently.
Maybe you are right, and the guy's dismissive reply was the last thing that made everyone lose it, but come on.

In my opinion, the internet nowadays is a highly hysterical environment, where people argue, fight, cancel, burn bridges between each other over nothingburgers.

To me it starts to look like a conspiracy where something or someone ruins everything by any means, so we can't have nice things. Crazy, I know.

The internet has became a place that I am mostly avoiding.

This is so good, I literally asked them to do this exact thing around the Summer sale this year because there were a ton of games cheaper in bundles that the store page didn't have, I'm really happy they're doing this. Thank you.

Nice little improvement, again.

You can also just head direct to a bundle page for any game on Steam if you grab their app ID via: https://store.steampowered.com/bundlelist/*appid*

Now that's handy! So you don't even need the name's game for it.

What I additionally found that it shows an extra list for all bundles you already have complete.

I got many of these. :)

@linuxisdabest yes, there is. It's even now noted clearly on the Steam page that is has Anti-Cheat Expert (ACE) as the article states.

Why do we keep blaming anti cheat? There isn't even a kernel anti cheat or an anti cheat problem here (the game runs fine on wine 10.16)

Stop spreading the misinformation please

The creator of D9VK was a "frog" named Joshua? I guess there has been a migration to a "toad" named Autumn?

In any case, what I'm curious about is whether there is something that ties it to the Nvidia hardware - both currently, and in the future. Having it be a generic interface in Mesa/Gallium3D (like the new CLUDA) is obviously better, but it's not clear to me what the requirements are.

They certainly did great making the trailer look good, although I have no idea what the gameplay is like. :)
