Quoting: CatKiller

Tested with Proton Experimental, the only issue currently encountered is a small intro video not playing. This is a reoccurring issue and will be for the Steam Deck, for titles that use things like Media Foundation.

I hope this won't be an issue for the Steam Deck; that they'll have rolled out their re-encoding solution by the time the Deck ships.

They already have. The problem is that it takes time before the re-encoded videos appear.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPWait, did you expect a survival game that strives for realism...

Realism? So when you die, wait out the night at your base. Then next morning you go to the place of your death hoping that the wolves have moved on only to find that your stuff has despawned is about realism? No, that's just about making you work again for hours and hours to get it back. No thanks, I'll pass.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPIf you struggle with that after 15 hours of playing, then that is VERY MUCH your mistake. Don't blame the game for your shortcomings.

We'll agree to disagree. I have enough experience in survival games to know when things are unfair. Maybe you've had a lucky world roll. Maybe I've had unlucky ones. But nothing I've experienced was fair.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThe second thing you describe is a temporal storm.

It's not the temporal storm, that is at least announced. It's the cog thing that runs down.

Played it for like 15 hours and then gave up on it. The wolves in this game are just stupid. You can't avoid them and you can't defend against them (at least for the duration that I played). I don't mind to be punished for mistakes, but being punished for playing is not my cup of tea.

And the game doesn't even tell you about a major game mechanic that kills you. First game I died 3 days in after the screen going wonky and getting overrun by hordes of enemies. Same happens after you respawn so the game is unsalvageable by then. Had to google it to figure out what happens. That and a couple of other things speak to the sadistic nature of the dev. Unless things have changed, I would avoid it.

Quoting: LinasTo be honest, the difference does not look as striking as with Quake 2. I think this shows just how good the "fake" lighting can look if done right. :grin:

That depends highly on the situations. The indirect lighting at 0:36 makes a huge difference.

I was hesitant to wishlist this because the release if estimated to be over 200 years away and I might not make that. But it's looking so damn good!

Quoting: basedUnless another multiplatform AC releases.

Both EAC and BE are multiplatform. That's not the problem. The problem is that Wine is an intermediate layer "messing" with the system calls of the game and therefore similar to cheating solutions. If you subscribe to the idea that you can do an effective anti-cheat by knowing everything that's going on with the system (which I don't), then this is problem.

It's funny how the same thing keeps coming back. People assuming that EOS requires an Epic account while it doesn't. Can't shake the feeling that this is by design though. Epic making this purposely vague so more Epic accounts would be made.

I had no idea about the two EAC versions though. So thanks to these devs for clarifying that. And I'm very curious if something more is going to be done with this.

Quoting: CatKillerHopefully this doesn't mean that they'll be encouraged to drop the native Linux version because of lack of experience from the rest of the team.

Didn't iRacing itself come in some sort of wine build?

Is it still just the two guys? In any case, most of the development was done by them and what they achieved is extremely impressive. Not at all surprised that there would be an interested party.
