Quoting: neowiz73there seems to be a bug with the traits as well, for kicks I recreated a character with the Lone Wolf trait and supposedly it should remove your companion at that point but It in fact does not. So apparently you can have a protagonist even with one character having the Lone Wolf trait. So if you want 1 really OP character that would be the way to go, haha.

It doesn't exactly work like that, I digged up some Steam thread about this, here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/373420/discussions/0/490124466456579487/#c490124466459796011 [External Link]

EDIT: In Short, if one of your 2 characters has Lone Wolf Trait, then you can't have the 3rd and 4th companion later in the game (aka you're stuck with the 2 main characters you create).

Thanks for the early performance report Liam, are you running it on your 970 card or the new system?

Quoting: Keyrock

Quoting: Avehicle7887

Quoting: Keyrock(except Lords of Xulima, which might be the single worst optimized game I've ever played)

There's a tweak to improve performance in that game on Linux, go to its' settings file and change this line: <Simple name="MaxTexureMemory" value="128000000" />

Performance increases quite a bit, sometimes will still tank but it's much more playable. For the record I've also disabled desktop composition and the ingame V-Sync.

Thanks for that. Workaround or no workaround, there's no excuse for a game, any game, to drop into single digit FPS on a Titan X ever, much less a game with fairly rudimentary graphics. With that said, I found the game to be dull as dishwater, so I have no intention of revisiting it ever, even if performance becomes great.

Yeah I agree on the performance part, the game has a memory leak somewhere and being 32bit makes it crash after a certain time, why have they not fixed it with their last patch is beyond me. As for the game itself, it's a matter opinion, yesterday I finished it (with a 73hrs long savegame) and I have to say I quite enjoyed most of it.

I read about this earlier today, hopefully the wait will not be much longer. Despite the delays, I'm still positive in Larian.

I hope the more experienced Linux users don't fall for this. First of all the gameplay sections they showed were not on the handheld itself but a recorded video and that could be from a sturdy desktop system. Secondly I doubt their chip will be able to handle AAA games, especially with such poor drivers and at 1080p? Oh please.

There are plenty of games that it will run fine, but certainly not AAA ones and for god's sakes you don't need a 1080p on a 5 inch Screen, a 720p will do just fine and will boost performance quite a bit.

This project has nailed everything the unwary customer wants to hear: 1080p, AAA game names, Steam, Streaming...etc. Then comes in the lack of a working prototype.

One must be mad to pledge 200e (minimum) for something like this without having any idea what it's going to be capable of.

Heard about Rust and Garry's Mod but not about the creator himself, hell only now I just made the 1 + 1 where the Garry's Mod name comes from. The way he's putting it, seems like the problem is between keyboard and chair.

Unity surely has its' flaws but there are countless games on Linux built with it and they run very good.

Quoting: ShmerlHow hard is it to replace Bink with other codec, and and use corresponding decoder with ffmpeg for example? Or it's a problem with Unity not allowing such flexibility?

The dev on the Steam thread mentioned they tried Ogg Video but they had sync problems between the audio/video. My guess is that they tried other codecs too but were unsuccessful.

I find it a bit of a stupid move that RADVideoTools don't want to support Linux in general, this would have opened up not just 1 game to Linux, but any future projects that want to use the codec.

Quoting: Beamboom

Quoting: Avehicle7887I highly recommend it to all RPG fans when it releases.

Great! Can we create our own character or is he /she predefined?

There are quite a few customizations for both of your characters - class, appearance, attributes and starting skills. You can see what to expect in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYXwHW-yOXE [External Link]
