I LOVED Inquisition, so initially I was super pumped for this. We shall see.

as already confirmed before, no EA App is needed - so Steam Deck / Linux players won't have to deal with launcher breakage constantly.OMG YES. This is pretty damn good news. I was soooooo bummed out by that cartooney looter shooter garbage trailer they released a while back, but pretty much every update about the game since has drawn me back in a little bit. This one is a great update.

For sure this'll be one I'll check out. Hopefully I won't get to endgame and get bored out of my mind like in the first one. Even if so, there's plenty of enjoyment to be had getting there, so it'll be worth it no matter what.

It's broken graphically. In the settings it lists my monitors resolution (3440x1440) but in-game it has black bars on the side and only displays at 16:9. Lots of discussion posts on steam about the same thing.
How on earth did that get past testing?

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.

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: CloversheenActually 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: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.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.
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.
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.

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. They 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?

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.
