One of the things I hate about Windows is the NVIDIA Experience thing. Thank God for repositories on Linux and the general experience of installing packages.

While fragmentation is still present, when it comes to ease of installation, it's either in the kernel or just a matter of enabling the relevant repo and installing.

For most software. Heck, even compiling from source is easier, lol. Less effort than going to a website, looking for the right driver and going through a wizard to install.

Anyone getting massive lag spikes just before and during battles?

Quoting: QuanTuM

Quoting: Stupendous ManI suppose the question we all want answered is: do cloaks show?

Will they ever fix that? I check after every update but still no capes for tux in PoE...

This game does not have cloaks as an accessory for any platform. Confirmed by Obsidian reply directly to my query.

Your choices can still be morally good btw. That's what I've noticed.

Works fine for me. Arch.

Btw, it works perfectly in Big Picture mode (by default, it only shows content for your OS, you can enable other content with one simple setting).

But in Desktop mode, it's not the default behavior, the setting is obscure and well hidden and when you finally find the setting and apply it, it does not work.

Also, it's inconsistent. For the columns, in For "New Releases", "Top Sellers" and "Specials" it only shows me Linux/SteamOS games but for "Upcoming", it shows me everything including Windows stuff. So that's where the bug probably is.

To fix it, they can make it default behavior. Show only for your OS.

Quoting: cxphergmailcomWine is often used as an excuse. That's the only problem and it's not wine's fault. It has it's place. But eventually, it's going to be used for really old games just like this article and some software.

It will take too long to catch up as the renderers become more complex on the Windows side. Starting with DX11.

Well the thing is, with DX12, aren't things supposed to be simpler? So it won't take something like Wine as long?

Simpler?

The pipeline behavior is actually more or less the same with some operations having more emphasis and multiple concurrent operations. DX11 is a one way pipeline even Lo Wang and Hoji can't get through without fucking Kyokogami literally.

So no, it's not simpler. It's just more efficient.

Quoting: FurorHope there is no missing cloaks this time (I will wait for your review to know it :D). Anyway looks great!

If they used Shrouds again, I'm refunding the Overlord copy.

Using that would mean short-sightedness to the maximum.

Even Windows users have problems with that stupid plug-in.

I'm still shocked that they didn't take the steps to release a patch to replace that plug-in and recode. After all, their Mac and Linux customers also paid good money.

Stop using outdated and obscure Unity plug-ins.

I'm actually hoping the presence of Paradox has beaten some sense into their selection process.

If you read the negative reviews, most of them are from existing fans.

The number one reason isn't because it's bad but because they don't see that it's worth it to upgrade from FM2016 since they feel that in terms of features, there isn't much new stuff. They feel that it's not worth it for the price as such for an upgrade.

Other than that, the game is comparable to FM2016.

The number two reason is because a Chinese language pack was promised but wasn't made available at release. So Chinese fans are up in arms.
