I really love TW: Warhammer (all 3 games), but I stopped playing it after switching to Steam Deck as the 3 is unsupported and runs really badly.

Maybe when I switch from Steam Deck to something else I will get back to it.

Oh yeah. This game. I completely forgot about it entirely.
This... thing that is wearing Sonic's flesh got some absolutely ridiculous delays and has basically missed its hype cycle entirely. Wouldn't be surprised if they pull the plug on it one or two years into its release. I'm a massive Sonic fan and it really stings to see them drag the blue blur through the mud. I'll be skipping this one and will probably just stick to Sonic R through the PS2 Gems Collection.

Hm... time for some testing, if this AsyncCompute fix also fixes the VR async reprojection issue. Sounds similar enough. If so, it would be a huge improvement, as this is still an issue with any driver after 550. It might not be prominent on more powerful GPUs, yet my VR rig is either a 2080 oder 3070, and here it is happening when not using the 550 driver.

I doubt its about VR async at all. The game ran great with AsyncCompute but it just hanged when opening map/inventory. That got fixed. I doubt it has anything to do with VR async reprojection but worth a try i guess.

They fixed Metro Exodus EE once before. Then broke it. Now they re-fixed it. But I am certain they will break it again.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're working around a game bug. That sort of thing is easy to break because the game bug can manifest in different ways as you make changes to the driver.

Never could get into Rage-2, kind of got real bad reviews, lots of empty nothing to do in the gameworld I heard.

What people think about it?

It's not a great game if i'm honest with you. Story is bad, Most of the characters are bland, cringe and uninteresting. Lots of idiotic busywork on the open map etc... but that being said. Combat is amazing if you can look past any of the other issues the game has. Combat is kinda like DOOM 2016 and it gets even better if you unlock all your abilities.

Downloading games is a tall order for an EC

Does anybody have an idea how this works? Does it use the Van Gogh APU or does it lean more on the VLV0100 EC?

Additional game is "The Thing: Remastered". Which I am interested in, but I already have most of the rest, so not really worth the $20 for me... will wait for a better sale or another bundle.

I can give a hearty recommendation for Stasis: Bone Totem, or anything from THE BROTHERHOOD.

Awesome! Wonder why it took so long!

I’m really confused here… x)

Basically it's really confusing messaging from AMD and people assume the worst. But as the dust settles and we have seen a clarification of the clarification from AMD, it all ends up being a nice juicy nothing burger. But don't expect RDNA 1 & 2 to get FSR 4 INT8.

It's features like this I would like to see in SteamOS for PC. And "wake PC with Steam mobile app" to download a purchased app then turn off again.

That's very nice. But I thought the download/patch process in itself was power hungry :-). Yes, there always has to be a negative comment :-). Doesn't mean I am not thinking about getting me a hot standby steam deck. It basically replaced all my laptops and desktops for work.
I think it's several years that I've been earning money with my steam deck \0/. This can be turned into a meme somehow, but I do not have enough coffee in me to see it yet.

Nice, I always wondered how they intended to handle this. Since it's kinda harder to implement than it first seems. The Deck is still a PC, it gets hot, it needs to release hot air while it's running, can't just have people turning off the screen and forgetting about that then leaving the deck in it's carry case. Making it a "deck will go to sleep soon as downloads are finished" thing makes sense reduces the chance of the deck drawing power and staying on with the screen off longer than necessary. The low power mode is probably like a downclock to get the deck running cool enough that hardly needs any cooling, to reduce the chance of fire if it was thrown into a stuffy sealed bag. And it was never clear how someone would activate this screen off mode too. Tying it to the sleep button makes it simple enough. Good solution I think.

Rage 2 AsyncCompute issue is finally fixed after 4 years :)
No more hangs on map menu. This was the only issue i have had with nvidia drivers. Other than that their drivers have been rock solid for me at least.
More performance would be nice ofc, but i guess i'm playing games (not really into most of the triple A stuff) that perform great on my aging RTX 3080 as i really haven't seen much of a performance issues like some people seem to have.

I really don’t understand the comments here. I mean, the 6000 and 5000 card will still work, and bug will still be fixed since it’s a maintenance mode and not a complete stop in support.

Everything. The current branch (580) has Maxwell support.

But the new AMD drivers will have RDNA and RDNA2 support too. Just not the new features on it. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Or does that mean that people using theses cards should stop updating their drivers? But then it’s not a maintenance mode, it’s a complete abandon of it, no?

Someone says that the 6800XT still work with good performances, but it will not change, it will still have great performances, even in new games if they aren’t too heavy, but that’s an hardware problem, not a software one.

I’m really confused here… x)

YESSSS!!! PoE2 is one of my fav games of the past decade, but I never played 1 because of the lack of tb mode. I just can't stand rtwp. This is so wonderful and I'm so happy they're spending time revisiting such an old game. Love it!

As soon as I finish my playthrough on ANOTHER obsidian game (ow2) I'll definitely be giving this a go.

The way I played PoE was to set it to pause after everyone made their moves in a round, then give them new commands. I called it liar's RTwP.

I finished PoE I despite RTwP, and looking at my backlog I don't think I'll revisit it in the near future. The update is appreciated though, and the improvements Obsidian are making sound quite nice.

I did play a portion of PoE II in turn based mode, and liked it quite a lot. But it also made for slower gameplay and I never completed the game. Though I might not have in RTwP mode either.

I didn't (yet) succeed in carrying over the game saves to PoE II. :-(

I thought that worked for me, but I am not quite sure now, because I did not feel much of an impact.

Or it's just because none of the characters keep their levels or skills from the first game. And since PoE II plays in a different part of the world, I don't know if any decisions from the first game carry over in a noticeable way either.

But it's been a while and memory is hazy.

I'll check Podman, never used it. I only experimented with lxc which is Linux's own container feature.

Pillars of Eternity or Power over Ethernet. Both are PoE and I always think of both with the acronym.

Well, now you've got me praying for Power over Ethernet never going turn-based!
