Quoting: RolandAnyone else experiencing crashes in the finale of "The Last Stand"-Campaign?

We just played for four hours without crashes. Just one disconnect.

It might be old, but a quick scan makes it look pretty compact and clean. So it should be easy to use for those without a degree in graphics programming. I also only see OpenGL stuff. Were these engines OpenGL only?

Quoting: NezchanI generally haven't found following curators to be all that useful, tbh. Maybe I'm just not seeing the right way to utilize the feature?

Most of my gaming purchases are more related to reading GoL and talking to people, can't think of a single time a curator recommendation has influenced that.

The only thing I've found mildly useful has been curators about special features. For instance, there is one that rates games on if they support ultrawide resolutions, which is not something that is generally covered in reviews.

Functionally the game seems to work fine and seems to deliver on what I expected from it.

Technically it has a lot of issues, so I have some bug reports to write. Two major problems: it won't properly use fullscreen. It leaves space for both the top and side bar that it doesn't use and it actually stretches the render to the screen regardless of aspect ratio. That last one also including the mouse cursor, so on my screen my mouse moves twice as fast horizontally as it does vertically.

Also, why is there a crash option in the settings? Which actually crashes when you click it. :unsure:

As for the game, three hours is way too little time to really judge it.

Quoting: ageresFrankly, I didn't like this game much when I played it with Proton. Too difficult, slow and simply boring. It looks good but it's painful to play it.

Could you go into some more detail about what parts you found boring? I'm considering picking this up...I love Dark Souls and Metroid games so it sounds right for me.

Looking at the video, the movement looks somewhat slow. No doubt getting hit is a bit brutal, so I imagine it's all based on learning patterns and good timing. Kind of like Salt and Sanctuary. No doubt not for everyone.

A 480p video ...... wow!

I got distracted, what was this game about again?

Quoting: peta77And additionally looking at the power consumption ( 320W!!!!! ) seems to me that they simply added more cores / computing units and performance increase of the actual hardware is somewhere around zero.

The funny thing is, they actually changed things quite drastically compared to previous generations. This can be seen with high number of "cuda cores". Is I understand they have been messing with the balance between fp32 units and other components. Which makes the excessive power requirements all the more surprising. NVIDIA won't be getting away with this for another generation I think. So I'm happy to wait that out while looking to see what AMD is going to do.

Initial benchmarks on sites dealing with less useful operating systems shows a fairly consistent gain of 25% over the 2080 Ti. Which makes it slightly less optimistic than what nvidia says, but still pretty good for current games. However, that mostly applies to 4K/Ultra scenarios (besides a few others that manage very high GPU loads on lower resolutions). But if that's what you want, this seems like a quite attractive GPU for the price. Nothing special enough to replace a 2080 Ti though.

It would be nice if AMD could finally put something competitive out, but seeing that the 5700XT barely breaks half the performance of the 3080, it's not likely the RDNA2 will suddenly compete with the 3080.

Quoting: Guest(high pitch excited noises) I am far to hyped about an 11 year old game getting an update.

So you'll be going through you backlog before touching this one, right? :tongue:

Quoting: robredzHope X Pane can get something that more than competes, sometimes the eye candy seduces, but soon falls short in some way.

I don't think that is realistic. The resources that need to be put into it are way beyond the total size of the flight simming market. The only reason microsoft can do it is because they can leech of their bing maps. And even then I'm highly suspicious about them actually covering the cost. At least X-Plane is an open platform with a large community that brings us stuff like Ortho4xp that allows us to do it ourselves.
