Would you not be better off just buying a SteamDeck or one of its slightly updated competitors?

Wine's Direct3D to Vulkan translation library vkd3d 1.13 out now
29 Aug 2024 at 5:27 pm UTC Likes: 1

One of the biggest areas of weakness for VKD3D is Ray/Path Tracing performance it seems, in particular translating with D3D12 which I believe is pretty much the only API other then Vulkan that does RT/PT for games?

Someone was doing some tests on YT recently and noticed the huge performance issue with RT/PT under Linux with translation layer, almost %50 less fps.

Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team

Quoting: CaldathrasCome to think of it, does MO2 need .NET?
There are other mod managers that have issues such as those for dragon age or mech warrior and several others. Also there are tools like xedit that still have odd behaviour issues under Wine and many other tools. Just loose bits of NET that aren't being handled right.

Maybe this will lead to more applications that rely on NET to work. In particular all those mod managers that hate working under WINE.

Quoting: ArtenSo when you are in woods collect mushrooms for your consumption
In the game you literally are converting the entire biome of the planet to a giant factory for production. Since when does profit exclusively mean currency?

Quoting: ArtenIt's centraly planed (by you) without free market.
I meant more in terms of converting planet into profit.

Chill my dudes, I just want to convert your planet into a CAPITALISM!

Quoting: TcheyI almost want this game, without the Factory elements, just exploration, some simple base building maybe, and RPG-action stuff
Yeah like a mix Dwarf Fortress exploration mode or something.

The Beamdog & Owlcat RPG Humble Bundle has some killer games in it

RT and Kingmaker are quite common. Basically feel like initial ideas done well but oddly missing more.

In RT you only explore about 1/3rd of the map before game ends. (you cant go to rest)

It's possible there are huge expansions planned, but its a little disappointing also because anything you do, will be UNDONE by the Empire, keep that in mind when going ANY route that lets them back into the sector.
