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.

When Liam said grab a cuppa I didn't think he meant one as big as your head :-)

It is an entertaining and wide-ranging conversation so worth the listen.

Quoting: WMan22Eagerly anticipating the Luxtorpeda implementation and Flatpak version.

This won't be added to Luxtorpeda as they are avoiding reverse engineered ports.

On Fedora 37 the pipewire development library (libjack.so) is in /usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack which is correctly detected by cmake but the final linking fails because the library path is not provided to the compiler. I appended -L/usr/lib64/pipewire-0.3/jack to the end of the giant link command in CMakeFiles/tfe.dir/link.txt inside the build directory to correct this.

This driver didn't work well for me in Fedora 37 with the new 6.1.7 kernel. My second monitor wasn't detected, though the screen was mirrored. The settings app was also missing most content which seems the opposite of their bug fix about non-privileged users running X.

A PR for Linux is in the works. I built from the branch, https://github.com/mlauss/TheForceEngine/tree/linux3 [External Link], and played through the first level.

On Fedora 37 the build missing dependencies I had were: rtaudio-devel, rtmidi-devel, DevIL-devel
and glew-devel
