Co-op first-person spaceship command game PULSAR: Lost Colony now has a proper tutorial

Quoting: GuestI don't really either, but should that stop us from playing a cool game? We know we at least have ONE thing in common.
I get what you mean, however this game is built heavily around multiplayer, playing it solo would be quite hard and probably boring/a chore.

On top of that I live in Australia which makes it even harder to find people to multiplayer with. Perhaps its playable with 300ms ping? but often not.

I have almost bought the game several times. But it is a multiplayer game and well, I don't have friends, hehe

looks good to me, be nice if it had nvidia and amd gpu temp/data monitoring also. And for some reason it can't detect my memory modules.

I think like thousand people have got this virus (probably more) now and only ~26 confirmed deaths so far. Nature is going to need to do a HELL of allot better then that to wipe us out!

The bottle for Wine 5.0 has officially been popped open as it's out now

Quoting: YoRHa-2BVKD3D currently does not support DXR. DLSS is proprietary technology that will most likely never work through wine.
Well to be fair all they need to do is support DXR which RTX plugs into, I don't know if DLSS could work but maybe the support flags can be unlocked to be used in the Linux driver.

The only missing component is DLSS support in the Linux driver which I hope NVIDIA brings along sometime, in saying that DXR (which RTX maps into) is more important, and I don't know if Linux driver has RTX features for Ray Tracing (assumed so?)

Still good games that hold up well today. I do wonder if Alex is using Source 3.0 engine (has that been announced yet)

One thing for sure, EPIC games has lit a fire under Valves arse by showing them that MAKING games and exclusive deals still matter. Motivated Valve to start making games again which is great news people! We may yet see a HL3 come to life!

YAY and hopefully Proton update will soon follow, 5.0 series of proton.

Also I'm wondering, how does Ray Tracing RTX features work under Wine? can people enable DLSS or RTX on games like Metro Exodus or is that still not possible until DX12/DXR is fully done?
