And who are you to tell others how they should live theirs lives? What a stupid comment.

The big tech upgrade for They Bleed Pixels is now out everywhere

And they didn't fix the game speed being attached to the monitor refresh rate... Here I use 120Hz and the game becomes blazing fast and almost impossible to play.

Besides having a engine that privileges the Nvidia closed-source driver, another thing that bother me is that their cities are so lifeless, so few pedestrians. You go trough Las Vegas and begin to think: where are all the people?

And they were gone way before any pandemic, mind you...

The Last Stand update for Left 4 Dead 2 is out, plus big sale and free weekend

Quoting: RolandAnyone else experiencing crashes in the finale of "The Last Stand"-Campaign?
Yesterday I was hosting a game and it crashed on me twice, but not on the finale. Once it was on the first stage and another in the second. I played it on a single player mode a couple hours before and it didn't crashed.

This is strange because it is generally a very stable game on my machine, and I generally only have problems with it while playing community maps that were made only for DirectX on Windows.

The upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 free update 'The Last Stand' has a new teaser

It would be nice if they fixed the sound on Linux, since surround is bugged and it doesn't auto-detect the output you are using. Also it always starts win 5.1 mode, regardless what setting you set before closing the game.

Still my preferred coop game of all times. Logged more than 2.500 hours in it. Too bad the Linux version never had the surround sound fixed. The last time I saw a developer said it was working on his system, despite I had said to him it was not in 3 different soundcard models ...

Whatever happens with this upgrade, I hope they didn't break it like the developers of Black Mesa did, with a shit port full of problems that make you grateful that Proton exists.

Heliborne - Enhanced Edition is out now and it's been really badly received
21 Aug 2020 at 6:47 pm UTC

Not that the previous version was perfect, it wasn't, with poor performance for the graphics (typical Unity novice developer) and a messy UI. They also have a half-assed single player campaign where you are forced to go online to get the better helicopters. But overall it was the best we had for a gamepad-friendly heli game.

Now I cannot even start the game (run out of memory), and people says they managed to make worse what was already bad in the previous version. Unbelievable.

My GPU card died and I'm stuck with a old A8 7600 APU. It really makes you appreciate well optimized games :grin:

Euro Truck Simulator 2 gets a big free update with SSAO

Quoting: brokeassbenWith ETS and ATS I don't really mind paying for the map DLC. SCS have continued to actively update and improve the base games (which are damn cheap right now at $5 USD) and there are a lot of free mods to tweak most anything to the way you want it.
Me too. I'm a long time player of it and saw all the improvements over the years. This kind of stuff simply don't come free, you need to pay people to implement it.

Has anyone else had issues with the anti-aliasing not doing much and straight lines appearing jagged?
This is a problem of their engine. It also happens on Windows. The only way do deal with it, is to set the resolution scale to 300/400 percent, plus some SSAA, at a high cost of performance.

They are aware of it, so maybe in the future they can implement more efficient ways of reducing aliasing.
