The first video is hilarious. Enabling shenanigans like this is part of the reason people like Valve so much.

I was waiting to come home from work and try it, but a electrical problem may prevent doing it today. So I got curious and went to look at the reviews of the open beta. And there is a lot of people disappointed with the game.

To make a long story short, you better not install this thinking it is L4D3. There is no shortage of people saying its gameplay is inferior to the Valve games.

Months ago I saw a interview with a AMD engineer, where he talked about what would be FSR. He said that developers asked AMD to not create another proprietary solution, instead they should make something open, like Freesynk. That is why AMD response to DLSS took so long to appear.

Now that it is on the wild and exactly what developers asked, you can bet it will eclipse DLSS adoption in a couple years.

Quoting: GBee

Quoting: MorguldirKinda "old" news, they confirmed it here: https://twitter.com/feralgames/status/1420319814648795137 [External Link]. I'm guessing they already had a contract for porting Total War: WARHAMMER III, since they do seem to have given up on further linux ports.

Not just Linux, they don't seem to have anything else on their 'radar' for OSX, iOS or Android either. This is in sharp contrast to past years when they would have several games being worked on simultaneously.

I heard they do Nintendo Switch ports now.

Skateboard injuries hum? The most fun way to discover that physics is a harsh mistress. One small rock and suddenly the skate is not under you anymore...

Ah the youth, when you could fall all the time and stand up right away. These days I even hurt my back just lifting a aluminium ladder...

I hope this is handled better than Black Mesa. That Linux port have unfixed performance issues and if I knew the treatment Linux users would get, I would have got a refund the moment I saw the unchecked multithread option in the menu.

SoR4 has performance problems with Vulkan, and Steam UI corruption on OpenGL, in the most recent AMD mesa drivers. I have to run it with mesa 20.2 (the stock from Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS) for a bug-free experience.

Whiny kids and cheaters, were the reasons I gave up on competitive multiplayer more than a decade ago. Valve is not the only one with this problem, unfortunately. I have a friend who is a unrepentant cheater and he find other cheaters even on soccer games, which in turn, is his excuse to also use cheats. Heck, even on games where there is not competitive multiplayer, there are cheaters on the scoreboards...

I happily migrated to coop multiplayer, particularly L4D2, where I have been very happy over the years. Not totally clean of cheaters, but a much better place thanks to Steam friends and self-hosting servers.

Intel have a uphill battle in the driver front. Most game developers simply don't debug their games on Intel GPUs, so lots of games are simply broken. It would take a lot of money spent the Nvidia way, to convince studios to support one more vendor on the costly debug stage. If with only 2 vendors we still get lots of broken games, that need day-one drivers to work, things will be even uglier on the Intel side.

Saja will have a uncomfortable talk with the money people inside Intel, to convince them on game sponsorships, after all the money being spent on the new discrete GPUs.
