Ooo, Integrity Verification! Sounds so foolproof! These geniuses are wasted in the game industry--maybe they could do their Integrity Verification on our politicians!

So how much of that somewhat impressive monthly statistic are just playing Fortnite?

The problem is DLSS. I much prefer an open source standard like AMD FSR whenever I can:

"DLSS 3 is exclusive to Nvidia's “Ada Lovelace” RTX 40-series graphics cards"

Thus, vendor lock-in. Keep in mind that much of that new stuff about RTX is tied to DLSS 3.5.

The developers is welcome to implement both FSR and DLSS and DLSS isn’t required for the RT. It just looks better upscaled than with FSR. NVidia claims they don’t limit that. AMD on the other hand... DLSS3 only added frame generation. If NVidia implemented DLSS across platforms it would look alot like XESS. Looks good on 1 platform and so-so on everything else. Then they’d get shit for “degrading” it on competing platforms. Maybe FSR3 will look better than FSR2 and still work everywhere. We will see.

AMD FSR runs everywhere and is open source. No need for an ultra expensive RTX-4000 gpu. That's my point. DLSS 3 is limited to the tensor cores on these Nvidia GPU (vendor lock-in). Not AMD FSR that goes as far back as the RX 500 series and works with Intel and Nvidia too. I use it on my GTX980m laptop, atm. Yes, you may use RTX with AMD FSR 2 or DLSS 2 on other GPUs (including RTX 3000 and older), but performances will tank. All of what this article is about will be moot. Have you tried Portal RTX on such hardware? It sucks! Even on GeForce Now. So yeah, my point stand. Not going to pay for that. I have a founders edition of GeForce Now for 60$/year (I own an Nvidia Shield). I'm going to keep it and when Nvidia will update it's servers to RTX 4060 (actually RTX 3060), I'll benefit from it, on my Steam Deck.

Anyway, for my part, RTX is no game changer. It helps create awesome still frames in optimal conditions, but while driving, running and being shot at, in the likes of CP2077, these optimal conditions are rarely met. I seldom stop a game to wonder about the RTX thing... In fact I'm always wondering if there is that much of a difference. We were good without it. There was other ways of getting awesome lighting effects that didn't drain the GPUs that much. When all considered, not enough added value, imo.

I've always assumed the appeal of RTX was mostly on the developer side. Presumably it's simpler--rather than come up with various tricks to get the lighting to look good, probably even tweak them scene by scene, you just define the light sources and the surfaces (which you would be doing anyway I think) and it happens. Of course so far that's irrelevant because as far as I know there are no ray-tracing only games, and just adding an option can't make anything simpler.

Quoting: Kohrias<sarcasm>How very kind of the Roblox developers.</sarcasm>

The Roblox developers contributed nothing at all to a Linux version in the first place. And after the grapejuice community figured out how to run the game with wine the Roblox developers actively blocked Linux for no reason.

After half a year they lift the block now. While I am happy to see this I have a hard time to be grateful.

People are grateful because how many other devs do this? Most devs either don't touch Linux, or ban it and then never lift said ban.

Most just don't touch it, which doesn't matter much these days. You gotta admit noticing us just enough to actively mess with us is worse.

Not quite the same, but I understand the game has some difficulty options nowadays.

Not on any topic about which a moderate or greater amount of bullshit is talked. ChatGPT does not know the difference between true facts and errors, lies, and random murfle from internet bozos. It will mix all this together in anything it "teaches" you.
You might be OK on very specialized topics that hardly anyone talks about at all unless they know a lot about 'em.

Quoting: PanosKWhere was this article when I needed it?!?I uninstalled Ubuntu and went with pop os because of this bug .Strange but in pop os with the same Nvidia drivers I ha ve no issues and pop os is way better than Ubuntu so far

From the sound of it, any fresh install of any distro might have cleaned things up enough to duck the bug. For the moment at least, until stuff starts accumulating.

Quoting: d10sfanThat's a shame, for that game probably means a ton more dlc like what happened to prison architect

Yeah. Paradox games get great support but a flurry of DLC I can never keep up with

Still doesn't leave you with any less game than you would have had if the DLC weren't published. I mean, the game already exists; they probably aren't going to yank bits out of it and repackage them as DLC.

I'm tempted to install Siduction on my laptop if only for that wallpaper :O

It's freaking gorgeous.
