Quoting: Gazoche(thanks MSI for your wonderful build quality)

That is a butterfly effect plot eh?

The well-known bad hinge on MSI laptops directly affecting an opensource software development process.

Quoting: sherriwWhen we played it was with an adult group of about 6-8 of us and it was so so fun that I wanted that for my kids.

I didn't take it as any kind of failed promise from the devs. Just wish it had been on the roadmap. :/

Oooooh Nice. I played Children of Morta with a friend online, and it was fun. Never tried to play couch coop.

For adults dinner nights, we usually play Super Bomberman 3 or 4 on retroarch with up to 5 players. It is a lot fun, and those are games that non-gamers enjoy most and the skill ramp-up is not a steep curve

Quoting: sherriwI love this game so much. Works great on Linux. We have 2 copies on Steam & I was planning to buy it on Switch for the kids when it comes out. But wow I was shocked to learn that the console version won't have split-screen multiplayer! If any recent game was absolutely perfect for split-screen it's this one.

What to you mean "console version will not have?". Is there any information on the forums related with the PC version having split-screen available, or because you are assuming split-screen should be a must on consoles only?

Honest question here, no bashing :) I would love to see couch co-op on this game as well.

Quoting: TriasIt's sometimes very interesting (and frightening) to read through some logs. Like, look at Liam's first picture. If my notebook reported something like "[ 3.318673] ? __die_body.cold+..." I would sure be frightened... :).

That was MY laptop, not Liam's. :)

And yeah, it is frightening to see a _die_body.cold+0x8 all times and have to long press power at least 40% of the times until you have a sane boot.

Quoting: ShabbyX(Alright, alright, *this* project is not widespread enough, but the atacks are getting suffisticated enough that your argument is not enough)

And you are completely right being paranoid these days after the xz CVE stuff but, as LoudTechie said above, the guy has a profile of contributing to multiple other opensource softwares and he would be putting his reputation at jeopardy if he really wanted to widespread damage to laptops, or doing some nasty stuff with optimus-manager.

But yeah, these days being paranoic with software should be the modus operandi...

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticBut why should this be limited to Laptops only?

If you look at that thread, the vast majority of the reports come from folks that are running Nvidia on laptops.

Maybe it is my impression but, looks like laptops are more prone to that bug or PC towers are not being reported..

If you look at the reports you will find ASUS TUF, Legion, HP ZBook, Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen4, and there is one guy saying that it didn't face the same problem on his PC Tower [External Link].

Quoting: Luke_NukemZero problems on 3 of my laptops with fedora 40 and the rpmfusion version or manual install. No issues with 555 beta either (which runs damned smooth).

Yup. Fedora seems to have patches to it's kernel that mitigates the situation.

There is one Debian report [External Link] where the guy stated that using the open kernel drivers fixed the issue, and multiple [External Link] reports for openSUSE [External Link] where it crashes during shutdowns only, and that systemctl reboot does not reproduces the issue

Did you have the chance to review `audit.log` to check if any protection(selinux, fapolicyd) was triggered and could be limiting the `nvidia` module for good?
