Quoting: XpanderIt looks nicer. Font sizes are nicely smaller also on the top row and its more consistent with its theme stuff now, but its extremely buggy. Smooth scrolling is super slow, its like they changed how fast it scrolls. Have to scroll like crazy to move it. It also seems to eat VRAM a lot more than stable and doesn't seem to release VRAM when theres no activity. So yeah. lot of work to do i guess but its a start.

It's the smaller fonts that is killing my aging eyes. There doesn't appear to be a font size setting, just toggle to scale to monitor size (whatever that means).

I also see the additional VRAM usage, and my GPU memory frequency maxed out at one point while flipping around.

It doesn't restore the Store screen when switching KDE desktops.

I'm generally slow to accept change in UI but this is similar enough I think I'll get used to it quickly and forget how it used to work.

I wonder how well siege will work in single-player.

Too bad the update is only available on Steam. I still have the CD lying around here somewhere. On the RWS website you can pick up the game for $2 so not a huge cost in any case.

I agree with all the comments about the raid rate. I might play with aggression a bit as well. I haven't even tried the mistlands update because once past the swamp I found the game very grindy. I'm too casual to always play games in hardcore mode.

Quoting: BeamboomI think it sounded to be a really good price? I paid twice that for my 3080 back then, and that was long after launch (although during the chip shortage period).

Several reviews show it outperformed by the 3080ti. I guess you get DLSS3 and better RT cores as a trade-off.

I'm considering switching to team red with a 6950. It seems similar cost-wise for more performance, excluding RT, at least while you can still get one.

Not that I have a lot of sympathy for Windows users but dropping 7 is going to be hard pill to swallow for some. The 10/11 compatibility with some games is apparently pretty bad.

If you don't want to deal with the food and water mechanic you can start a game without them. I think there is an O2 mode for that too. I think they add to the immersion.

Quoting: 14

Quoting: rcritEvery time I restart the client I get 20+ downloads immediately, plus recompilation and today was no different. I restarted just now and got 21 downloads for a total of 2.6GB (with associated fossilize_replay processes).

Or maybe this is its last gasp and next time things will be golden.

I noticed the same happening to me. I'm not sure if it has gone away because I haven't been able to get on Steam for a while. But you're not alone!

Thanks for that!

I restarted the client just now to apply the latest beta update and for the first time in recent memory not a single download was done, so I have hope that things are indeed fixed.

I just finished the fourth level (Research Facility) and it plays fine. It's been decades since I last played it last so I can't say it's exactly the same. The AI doesn't seem particularly aware at all times.

Seems like there is more room for improvement. I leave steam running all the time, sometimes for weeks, with an occasional scheduled download but nothing major. Every time I restart the client I get 20+ downloads immediately, plus recompilation and today was no different. I restarted just now and got 21 downloads for a total of 2.6GB (with associated fossilize_replay processes).

Or maybe this is its last gasp and next time things will be golden.
