I took the risk of downloading AC Unity -- and uplay now works out of the box. The game ran almost perfectly at 'high' settings (picked up the ancient savegame from my windows playthrough just fine) until I tried -- after about 10 minutes -- to fast travel to a spot; at which point it crashed to the desktop.

There's nothing on Connect, though. :(

Quoting: massatt212u cannot load up tomb raider hitman and deus ex mankind and use dx12

I don't know about the other games (and not sure if it's been fixed on this one) but the dx12 mode on Mankind Divided was completely broken -- and to the extent that it functioned, it offered nothing new in terms of visuals or performance anyway. Which makes me wonder -- are there any dx12 titles that genuinely offer something above & beyond their dx11 versions?

Quoting: eldakingFrankly, the best option (ethics and freedom-wise, not in terms of profit) would just be an user-friendly "rent server time" service, where the client has access to the infrastructure but is in control of what actually runs in the server. Get a powerful computer to run your games, but don't make it a "game streaming service".

Something like this, but with powerful graphics cards?

... together with the assurance that the connection is encrypted, and the host won't be peering into what you're up to?

I'd love to have something like that; but currently even the base usage (like getting a raspberry pi 'in the cloud') prices are pretty steep.

I'm so glad they're back on track & making progress.

Quoting: chancho_zombiethe word is a wink to stadium?? uh ? so maybe they will focus on multiplayer :huh:

I haven't seen the official presentation, but there's a Digital Foundry video [External Link] up already; and they're gushing on the new multiplayer possibilities.

Another automated system to contain highly erratic behavior?

How about adding a 'complaints & suggestions' box to the product page, in addition to the reviews? And moderating that space for high profile releases?

Quoting: GuppyAh yes the 90s internet - tons of animated gifs, looping midi files and pages that were permanently "under construction"

Don't forget blinking text. That's my favorite.

And the watermark that would follow you as you scrolled down the page.

That one brings back memories: I remember feeling proud when I figured out how to do that, back in high school.

With today's re-released update, I see Proton entries in my 'installed games' view in the Steam library.
