Quoting: DesumFor one, Unity is going to be abandoned one day. Meaning we will be stuck with an old binary one day. This is KINDA bad for game preservation compared to an engine that has free source code.

Pffft - nonsense. There's plenty old gaming systems on closed platform (even "closed hardware", totally proprietary architectures) that are preserved.
And quite frankly - it's absurd, and not so little pompous, to let such an argument be the deciding factor on what engine to build a hobby project on. In case someone in the distant future want to "preserve this game".

Quoting: sturmenUnity users are at the mercy of Unity Inc, who may alter their TOS at any time

That's not how licencing works, they can not change the licence for *former* versions of their engine, only future versions. The licence you agree upon is the valid licence for the work you do on that licence. You will have to accept a new licence, and it should only affect the projects done on that licence (in practice, the new version of engine).

Furthermore I think it is fair to say this is very hypothetically speaking, and not at all "obvious to crop up".

Quoting: DesumThe issues that are going to crop up using this proprietary engine are obvious.

... Not to me. What issues are the most obvious? What can Godot do that Unity can't?

"Show and accept cookies" before the video player sounds like you're about to be shown some terms you need to accept regarding cookies. "accept cookies and show" would be better, I think. :)

Quoting: TheReaperUKTry setting launch options as below

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command%

Dude this did it for me too - now it's running 100%! Lovely.

Quoting: TheReaperUKBut 4.11-2 is causing same very strange lighting problems on Fallout 4 (Turn the mouse and i get a very dark then very bright etc), had to drop back to 4.9, it did not happen with 4.11-1.

There is a variable in the config file you now need to change:
Change bComputeShaderDeferredTiledLighting=1 to 0 in the fallout4prefs.ini file and it seems to work!

Quoting: KimyrielleIt doesn't look malicious to me at all.

For me it doesn't really matter much as long as the result is the same. One might even argue it's worse when even projects with all good intentions fails.

Furthermore I'm not so sure if all of those other projects really are that malicious either - or just simply inexpereinced devs who are eager to take on the world, until the reality slaps them in the face with a big fat trout.

Unfortunately it's guys like this who pretty much destroy the entire crowdfunding model. I haven't funded a project in who knows how long now. And it's not because there hasn't been any who looked good on paper.

Could they make a "spiritual successor" to Flower too, while they're at it? :)

Valve Index can't come fast enough!
