Age verification should be illegal. This world has gone crazy. The ruling cast is infested by predators.

Yeah, that's promising, but apparently moving shadows are a separate issue - those needed the right Nvidia GPU (within 2 generations, I think) and correct drivers to render properly.

Early Splinter Cells are a massive PITA in this regard, and even assuming Pandora is now fixed SC1 is still locked to GF3-GF4 (none of which is that great at running this game at a decent framerate, funnily enough. Hello, 800x600). One of the reasons I keep old parts around.

Do you think problem is in WSL2 and cheaters on Windows, or Linux users are cheating?

side note: something is super wrong with the steam desktop app for the next fest home page. At least for me. The top recommendations for me are "parkour time attack anime third person" games. I have absolutely zero interest in that whatsoever, and have exactly 0 games in my library with those tags.

Then moving down, the next recommended category is "minigames games" (terrible recommendation) and the next recommended category after that is "soundtrack games" (terrible recommendation) and then it goes to "all titles".

It's like they swapped my recommendation profile for a total stranger?

That's odd. I have space sim and openworld survival craft games, which would make sense from No Mans Sky perspective.

Though for me, finding unsuitable game categories is somewhat hard. I probably have at least one game for large number of genres.

The screenshot was taken on an AMD GPU.

This has been on my wishlist since your first article a year ago. No need to try the demo.

And boom! On my ignore list. A game should work on al my devices. If the game is intentionally made to break then it's not worth my time.

I'm moving several friends over to linux because of the hilarious shoot-self-in-foot fiasco by microsoft, and I'm using Mint for all of them. Seems the most user friendly coming from windows.

Think I saw Chakotee and Janeway in one of the shots near the end of that trailer, so presumably you're playing her, as captain.

Did they implement a proper fix for rendering those shadows, or are we still forced to use decades-old GeForce cards?

How to kill excitement 101.

Funnier still is that they also disabled the multiplayer components.

Was tempted to pick it up, but then Ubisoft Connect.

Looks interesting! Reminds me of SimTower but with a very unique twist.

v20 is already out btw:

HOTFIX:

- removed unnecessary webview2 patch (fixes Forza Horizon 5 login never opening)
- added workaround to allow darkwinter software region version of Girls Frontline 2: Exilium to work

About webview2 patches:

Originally in wine 9 a stub was introduced which fixes/allows webview2 to install properly. This fixed webview2 installation for vermintide 2 as well as the Haoplay version of Girls Frontline 2: Exilium. Unfortunately the Haoplay version requires additional missing functionality in wine to work properly (it currently is still broken), so supplementary webview2 patches were added which were proposed to upstream wine for a merge request (separate from the original stub that was accepted). The additional patches were not accepted, and in addition, broke the login prompt for Forza Horizon 5. Additionally they did not help with getting the Haoplay version of Girls frontline 2: Exilium to work, therefore there is no point in keeping them.

As of now without the supplemental patches FH5 login and the Darkwinter Software version of Girls Frontline 2: Exilium are working. The difference between the Darkwinter Software version and the Haoplay version is only in region coverage. Darkwinter Software covers North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, while Haoplay covers most European countries and the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan

Is this a bit like Warbreeds? I can't figure it out, but the description seems very modular-units-based-on-organic-buildings.

Do you play Janeway? Or are you the captain in the timeline where Janeway never existed/died/didn't join Starfleet?

Perdita? The only other time I have seen that name, it was the mother dog in 101 Dalmations.

I enjoyed and finished both Strangeland and Disco Elysium, but the latter is definitely a much longer game. For a rough idea, my play times are ~6 hours for Strangeland, and ~48 hours for Disco Elysium.

I also have Norco and Hob's Barrow, but haven't gotten around to playing them (or Primordia, the earlier game from the developers of Strangeland).

All of the games in this bundle look a bit on the weird side; the ones I mentioned are my kind of weird, while I'm not sure about the others (Tales of the Neon Sea and Chicken Police look most interesting of those).

Maybe the cannibals are just starving? (Runs through giant pantry with meat stacked high). Oh, never mind...

Just a reminder that the Truckful devs are super enthusiastic about the Deck and are aiming for >60 fps at the highest settings there. I haven't tried the demo to see how close they are to that goal so far, but I will later in the Next Fest.

Thank you so much @scaine and @RFSharpe for the kind words about the game! This is a great time to jump into the demo again for sure - we've added a ton of new features and even more quality-of-life improvements.

If you have any feedback after trying the updated Demo, I'd love to hear it.

I wasn't expecting voiceovers, but to not have the opening theme at least is pretty disappointing.
