Quoting: d10sfanI heard reports from people saying that running the game offline (as in no internet connection) will cause the game to not boot, but once the game starts you could play offline. Has that changed?

That has not been the case in my testing. Plays fine. Gives 2 or so errors in-game which you skip, as the errors are about multiplayer. Solo offline works fine.

Quoting: d10sfanI hope that they eventually support fully offline play, as you currently have to launch the game connected to the internet.

You don't. Valve's notice on the Steam Deck certification is wrong. It plays just fine offline solo.

Update 21/01/24: the article originally said Palworld had an internet requirement for single-player, as Valve state it on their Deck Verified rating. Valve's notice [External Link] is incorrect so the article text was updated. Also added my new video to the article.

There's also a very clear obvious difference between

- Someone translating works and then selling it, sure it may add value for that language, but the original work is not their own to sell in any form.
- something that has similarities to something else.

Update: it turns out, once again, NVIDIA released a new driver and copy-pasted the changelog from a previous version. This is at least the third time they've done this now. The changelog is actually from the 535.146.02 driver, that was released in December. I've contacted NVIDIA to find out what's actually in the 535.154.05 driver.

Quoting: B-wizeAlso, Liam, when did you switch from Fedora to kubuntu?

Been a couple of months now. Was trying to track down system lagging/stalling issues and tried desktop environments, distros and all sorts. Settled on Kubuntu anyway because *buntu distros are just easy....turns out it was a hardware issue in the end anyway, NVMe dying on me lol.

Ouch!!! There are few things as painful as a dying drive. Glad you found something that works equally well. I hope you didn't lose too many steam games on that dead drive lol.

Nothing my gigabit net won't sort in a couple hours heh. Not a big problem really luckily most games were on another drive anyway, bit annoying being 2TB down now but nevermind. Something to keep in mind in future, if you're having stalling/lagging issues - benchmark your drives!

Added notes on the new bug-fix release.

Quoting: TheRiddickAlso it has a coin shop which I'd hope is only cosmetics but wouldn't be surprised if there is a pay2win element. Either way cheaters ruin games such as this where everyone expects to be playing on a more or less level playing field, but ultimately aren't due to ineffective anti-cheating methods.

The shop is purely cosmetics from what I've seen.

Quoting: slaapliedjeIs this a lot of fun? I bought the base game when it came out, but never got around to playing it. But have been in the mood to play a Civilization type game, but haven't the patience to play Civ6...

Sounds like it's for you, it's a fair amount quicker than Civ games while scratching that itch and different enough for Civ fans to enjoy as well.
