Quoting: razing32Hmm - is this more PvP or more PvE now ?
I like the idea of PvE but don't like forced PvP - which is why i avoided the wilderness in Runescape.
Can you just play with mates and do dungeon raids etc and be left alone ? Or do you get harrased by other player while mining resources ?

There is almost no PvE
Then what are those green zones Soulprayer mentioned for?
This allows beginner player to get to know the base mechanics of the game, gathering low tier resources, they may fight easy mobs. There's a handful of "dungeons" (not instantiated), but it's not very popular.
But Albion is pretty much LOL in a persistent world. The economy part is great, though.

You can easily try the game and see for yourself as it's free, you'll see if it suits you quickly.

Valve isn't publicly traded, and most shares are in the hands of sane people, it will never happen.

"low-power" doesn't really scream SteamDeck 2 to me, and wifi has no use in a controller.
Was SteamDeck also described as "low power" in the certification ? I don't know how to search in RRA.

QuoteYou're running mesa from git to get VK_NV_device_generated_commands_compute for optimal performance.

I suppose it's going to make its way to mesa 23.2 that is around the corner.


Performance is disappointing so far, in the 90s with the low preset but it looks straight out of 2004. medium preset cannot hold 60 fps.
