Quoting: JarmerAny other people running the beta D4 on linux? I'm on Manjaro, and running it through the listed methods in this article, and when it's running, it works great! BUT it's crashing a ton. So much so that I can't even complete longer dungeons really. It crashes the entire steam app. I have to open steam and restart, requeue, etc... Not sure if thats because of the methods listed here, or it's the GE proton version, or if it's the beta of the game itself.

I played through Steam using the Proton experimental branch and had zero problems with performance or stability.

Quoting: Mountain ManYou're thinking of Diablo Immortal, which is your typical exploitive "free to play" mobile game ("Do you guys not have phones?"). Diablo IV is a proper PC game. They're going to offer cosmetic items, but there's not going to be any "pay to win" nonsense.

Once more extreme lines are crossed the previous lines don't seem so bad by comparison, but even cosmetic items used to not be tolerated in proper PC games, that was also for those free to play games. I have no doubt they'll keep pushing the line of what is acceptable and go further.

For Diablo IV I don't think so. I may be wrong, but I don't see them adding cosmetic items or similar things.
Don't forget that for Diablo III there was a shop where you could buy/sell in-game items with real money.
The players did get angry and they removed it.
We'll see what Diablo IV will be though...

The Diablo III auction house was for players to sell items to each other and not for Blizzard to sell items to players. Unofficial Diablo II auction houses were extremely popular but also a haven for scammers, so Blizzard thought an official auction house would protect players. I honestly don't know why people were so upset about it since it was entirely optional, but it was controversial nonetheless, so they took out.

Diablo IV, they have said that the item shop will be for cosmetic items only

Quoting: elmapulinst that the game where you have to spend 500.000 millions in lootbox in order to maximize one single character, or spend 10.000 years grinding your character (if they dont relase any update patch in this meantime) ?

even if its not, i dont trust blizard to not screw it in an update.

I miss the good ol' days when Valve used to make top tier single player games. :sad:

Valve has said they won't start thinking about Steam Deck 2 until they can offer a significant performance advantage over the Steam Deck, which I'm happy about. I would love to get several years out of the current iteration.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumOooh.. so that's why I'm banned now. It's a bit unfair in my opinion, but okay :tongue:

You think it's unfair you were banned for cheating?

Quoting: GuestDota is free so all 40 thousands cheaters came back the same day on new account.

Valve bans 40,000 cheaters.

Later that day in a marketing meeting: "Good news, everybody, we saw 40,000 new accounts go live in the past hour! Keep up the great work!"

What is a BFU?

Well, it is deregatory acronym for users. True meaning is Bloody Fucking User, but I was using it in a more simple sense as in... just regular Joe (Windows) user.

Also known as lusers. :tongue:

Civ 6 runs substantially better under Proton anyway, so a native port of the next Civ game really won't be missed.

This thing has been in development for, like, 50 years, and they still haven't nailed down performance?
