Quoting: GuestHoly crap! Vulkan works perfectly (on NVIDIA at least, will soon test with AMD) and I'm getting an over 40% FPS improvement!!!!

May I ask what GPU/driver? My lock up was on NVIDIA as well.

Lots of great stuff in this one for sure!

Noticed that Vulkan was mentioned in the launcher (with warning). But unfortunately that resulted in a hard lock up of the machine right after entering the game. Hopefully this will work at some point because this game definitely needs all the CPU cycles it can get.

Quoting: heidi.wengerSo now there possibly is one objection for that some one who would let ones child browse this site was in favor of censorship in that thread

Because silly juvenile humour is worse than violence and horror?

Quoting: SpirimintAwesome i just thought today. I would like to play Cube World. Even i think the Level System is brilliant :)

But now i will try Veloren first :)

Edit: Hm ok i downloaded the nightly Version. But how i start this game? Double Klick on veloren-voxygen won't work.

Try it in terminal, worked for me.

I got this

That's what I got as well. There are multiple issues about this in the issue tracker tagged "bug", so something that needs to be fixed for next release.

For the first time on GOL, I feel myself needing my Twitch emotes.

Quoting: PatolaIt should have space legs.
When you play games like X4: Foundations, Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky where you can leave your ship, so that you intuitively feel that you are a person and not a weird spaceship creature, you barely can go back to the ship games. I hope more games adopt this approach.

The thing that made it really good in X4 is the sense of scale that you from stepping out of you craft into the giant dock and actually needing the walkways to get around quickly. Makes it feel quite different even though it technically doesn't serve much purpose in the game.

Mostly CGA palettes. Brings me back to how I played the first Larry and Space Quest games.

Quoting: LeopardIf anyone wants to try how bad is their VLK renderer , there is a demo of game Supraland on Steam. Simply run it natively first ( it is using VLK on Linux) and then go with Proton.

Supraland has issues that go way beyond Vulkan, so I wouldn't use that as the best example for Vulkan performance. Even on DXVK it should be performing much better than it does. However, I don't expect Vulkan performance to be great unless some magic happens in the coming year. Makes me remember the promise of ARK of getting performance increase with D3D12 that they never managed to get. Looks like UE4 was so hopelessly written towards D3D11 and it's biting them now.

To be released on my birthday. That's probably a sign I need this!

I did quite enjoy the base game. The only problem is a balance issue. At some point you've finished all the story bits, but you need to unlock quite a bit of stuff for the endgame. IIRC, it was mostly a grind for blue experience points. Took me 55 hours to complete and realistically it should have been 10 hours less. Or alternatively it should have had some more interesting things to do in the late game. Have a shorter prequel sounds nice though.

Never heard of Swag and Sorcery since it was windows only. Apparently a good thing this time.
