normally I'm very much against early access as well, but this definitely doesn't feel like it. At least in the beginning.

Downloaded it this morning! I've been very much looking forward to this since the demo released earlier this year. Can't wait to get in some good play time this weekend! This is the exact kind of "factory builder" I want: no timers, no invasions, no citizens dying, etc.

Quoting: Cloversheen

Quoting: JarmerThey recently downgraded Mesa from 24.1.4 to 24.1.3 so now my entire system wants to do a downgrade whenever I run the update utility (which on a rolling distro is often!) - does anyone by chance know why this happened? I have been looking but can't find any info anywhere!! Maybe due to instability? Just not sure.

Last time I did a downgrade like this with an important section of my system I had to roll the entire thing back so I'm hesitant.

It's because of dependencies, unfortunately Mesa includes not just the drivers themselves but also the interfaces, so a lot of apps are packages with a link to a specific Mesa in the main repos so they pull in a vendor change to get the version they expect.

One way around it is to configure it to prevent vendor changing away from Packman, but I don't remember how to do that. Then updates from openSUSE just won't be able to be installed and should just remain in the queue until Mesa is updated in the main repos.

Actually I finally just found out the reason. For anyone else with this strangeness: it's a bug in 24.1.4 with relation to video in vlc. So they rolled it back to 24.1.3 and are working on getting 24.1.5 ready for release which should be any week now, so best just to wait. Here's the bugzilla on this exact issue:

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228164 [External Link]

And here's the link to all the various mesa version in the repos, for opensuse, it's the same exact version in the official repos as it is in packman.

Quoting: ToddLIt's always great to see Godot continuing to make huge changes to become a viable alternative over Unity.

Completely agree! I very much look forward to the day when more crpgs use this engine rather than so many of them currently using Unity.

I'm on Opensuse Tumbleweed, so I use the Packman repos for all things media related due to the dumb copyright codec crap that plagues so many distros.

Just started Rogue Trader, and I'm having an absolute blast. Highly recommended if you don't already have it. I waited a long time so OC could do their normal bug-fixing and I think it was worth it.

Damn, that's disappointing they're using ue5 for this :sad:

Hopefully yes maybe they can make some tweaks to the visual style and make it less "unrealy".

I too bounced off the earlier game(s), but they always have such a rabid fanbase. I am keeping my eye on this one and will definitely give it a try when it comes out.

For proton support, it should be good. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has a platinum rating on protondb, so that's at least good news.

Quoting: Claude_LibSo it appears they updated the original Doom to this compilation and also delisted the original Doom II. I mean, at least they gave us the option to play the old version and didn't forcibly take the sequel away from our libraries, like Rockstar did.

it's the Bethesda way. They do this shit constantly. Just look at the Fallout 4 fiasco.

Quoting: dziadulewiczHow is it even possible that we're soon in '25 and our devices battery lives are nothing sort of joke and apparently we fly gadgets to other planets like Mars.

That's only because it's running intel, which is by far the worst chip you can get for any mobile device. If you go to Arm architecture, you can go forever. My m1 mac was like magic when I first got it, it can go for 3 or 4 days on battery alone while doing lots of video work.
