Quoting: buckysrevengeThe game is also on itch.io: https://bedtimedigitalgames.itch.io/figment [External Link]
Thanks, added. I did search but sometimes itch just doesn't find the right game, quite annoying.

Quoting: ArehandoroFrom someone that has not played but has interest in the game, is the title a minor spoiler or the fact that the game is set in the human mind is broadly known?
Not a spoiler, it's in the main description of the game, anyone going to buy it would see it.

Quoting: minidouCould we expect an update to bring DXVK 1.2 soon ?
Sounds like 1.2 has issues, so not currently.

Quoting: garpu@liamdawe, which drivers are you using? I get crap performance with the 418 ones, but good performance with it with the 430 drivers.
Yeah my bad, post edited.

DXVK 1.2 is out, possible performance increase for CPU-bound scenarios and D3D11 extensions support

Quoting: grapejuiceSeems it's not possible for me to send you a private message (says your profile is private).

Well, here's the pak file (40MB), we'll see if the moderators allow it or not:

Grey area, I mean only people who own the game would be able to use it anyway right?

Quoting: Para-GlidingDone yesterday, 60€ one-time payment in euros on liberapay. How does it translate to you concretely in pounds? You receive it month by month ou as a one-time also?
All those sites are not really clear: fees are on top or remove from your grant? will see it on my bank statement in few days.
...curious to see a badge on my profile (we always stay a teenager on chrismas, even when we have 4x those years XD)

continue your great work Liam! best
For Liberapay, it's a one-time payment to me too. Looks like I end up with about £45.

You might need to bring a shovel for Stellaris: Ancient Relics, the newly announced story expansion

Quoting: ColomboThats nice that it doesn't concern YOU. But it might concern others. I paid $20 bucks for Civ 5 and played it 800 hours. Stellaris can never came close to this, especially when it came in half-released state and it seriously needed major revamp. And I don't care if other people spend $60 bucks for FPS that they play for 2 hours. Or $174 bucks for game that they play for dozens hours.
Yes, I made it clear it didn't bother ME. I can do capitals too, see, fun right?

I have double the hours in Stellaris that I do in Civ V and I also have all the Civ V expansions.

They're extremely different games and I'm a self-confessed massive space nerd, so yeah I really don't have a problem with a favourite game getting long-term support and interesting expansions. Happy.

Half released state? No. It was a complete game, that could be finished and it was fun. I (and others) wanted a lot more from it, but it no way was it incomplete at release. This is what gets me, people trying to sow mistrust in situations like this, because it didn't do everything they wanted right away.

Tested No Man's Sky again on their Vulkan beta with this version of Proton and yeah it runs...like garbage on my 980ti. This is with everything as low as it can go or turned off, ouch :(

Doh, was messing around with drivers hunting down an issue, forgot to restart that one time...

No Man's Sky has indeed improved dramatically, still not amazing but it's back closer to the levels of the stable OpenGL build now and playable :)

NVIDIA 430.14 driver released, DiRT 4 and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (Steam Play) get improvements

Quoting: rustybroomhandleBut does it fix the No Man's Sky Vulkan experimental version? That was working great on AMD, but reeeeally bad on NV cards. Word on the street is that the issue is driver related.
