Quoting: EhvisThe performance argument is a bit of a non-issue. Yes, it is true, but it is true for all UE4 games. The real problem appears to be that the dev(s) are much better at designing games (Supraland was awesome when it still worked), but not so good at the technical side of things. Even with the performance loss, it should have been fine on Linux. The way that later updates got broken was curious. The crash was not something common to UE4 games on Linux, so it's very possible that this is a platform independent bug. It should have been fixed because this may at some point start affecting Windows as well. If they are going to do Supraland 2 and investigating it now would have prevented it.

The game works. The only problem is an erroneous deploy on Steam + a bug on the content selection. The attitude makes me remember by a lot to Garry Newman.

Mesa 20.2 will bring support for Intel DG-1. Hopefully a new dGPU contender may born for PC.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: x_wingYou have to practice. The game seems to not have any driving assistance (out of the acceleration control) so a minimum error is catastrophic. Be gentle with the throttle, use the brake and search for the path where your wheels never loose grip (i.e. avoid loosing wheel contact with the floor as much as you can).

Beginner's question: Do you do full throttle from the start?

Yes, full throttle even in the first corner with the metal grid. In the second corner you have to brake a lot and use a little bit of handbrake in order to point the car as nearest as possible to the edge of the turn (fall short, you will crash the guardrail/have to brake a bit more, fall long you hit the sloop and lose traction and you're done). The same can be said for the third turn (I use more handbrake here, but I'm not sure if the best strategy) and in the last curve you have to be very careful with the part of the grass you travel and you must brake and point the car in the right direction. Using the throttle in the right moment is key.

For a demo with four turns and 28-29s of gameplay I think this has become way too addictive XD

29.465 btw, I think that's almost limit with keyboard.

Quoting: CestusDemo works perfect but the handling is Sh#t!!!! drives like a 10.000hp soap car from asseto corsa.
I'm glad i tested the demo because i really wanted to buy the game. Now i won't.
:cry:

Quoting: PatolaThank you for making it explicit that you believe in the many fake news the international press makes against Brazil's president, due to sheer ideological differences. These scumbags do not have any shame in downright lying or distorting every word uttered by Jair Bolsonaro. On the other side, you likely do not know that in an important meeting which was not meant to be released to the public, he said those words [External Link]: "What those sons of b* [some rival politicians] want, it's out freedom. Look how it is easy to impose a dictatorship in Brazil, how easy it is. People don't even care. That's why I want, minister of justice, and minister of defence, that People get in arms. That will be the guarantee that a son of a b* will not be able to impose that dictatorship. Because it's easy, very easy. A shithead mayor makes a decree and everybody is forbidden to leave home.".

Take notice that Brazil is very different from the US, and saying those words there is kind of a scandal. Very different culture and firearms are still largely outlawed in Brazil, although this very president improved the situation a little.

Bolsonaro is a politician -- thus he is no saint, rest assured of that. But he's absolutely not the monster your ideologically distorted news outlet told you. On the contrary, he is being the one doing some freedom-related stuff I've never seen any other politician do, which makes me cautiously admire him.

But now, back to the subject matter. He says stuff. You think his sayings will have nasty consequences. What about if they don't? What about the people who disagree on your take on it? You just cannot know. You should not filter. You should allow people to choose in what they believe. You and your ideologically-agreeing manipulative media cannot expect to be the ones with the key for expression of others. THAT is a big part of the problem. Your ideology seeks cultural supremacy, disguised as a good will against (sometimes imaginary) victims of certain discourses. Do not try and cancel your buddies because they think and say things different from what you want.

Finally, one curiosity/question I have. You just said his words have negative consequences. You never even touched the merit of whether they are true or not. Doesn't it matter? If he says something that is absolutely true but it has "likely negative consequences" according to your take on the subject, must Brazil's president should also be censored/cancelled/deplatformed? And we're talking about one of the most powerful persons of a culture you don't even belong to, imagine what you want to do with the little joes of your own culture.

Is a fake news that Bolsonaro minimized the virus (the quote was "gripezinha")? Is a fake news that he ask people to keep working no matter the labor activity? I'm not saying that Bolsonaro should be censored, but his words are quite dangerous and he must take responsibility of the results. The world cannot be black & white but everyday more and more people get into this train (I don't blame them, having to choose from two options requires a lot of less brain effort) and I think that in this context we all know of the consequences of fanaticism...

Either way, the main topic of this debate is if Valve has the right to remove any hate-speech they detect from their games and AFAIK, they have all the right to do so.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPThe problem is that nowadays everything can be called "hate-speech" and get the perpetually offended raging, calling for mommy (aka whoever runs the game) to restrict others so they can have their completely opposition-and-adversity-free safe space.

Nowadays? Since the beginning of the online communities there have been arbitrary norm of conduct dictated for these places. This is not new and the owner of each community has the right to set them and enforce them in whatever way they are pleased. In fact, GOL has many of this rules.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPEven terribly uncreative insults. Like, really, whoever programmed these bots had a gold mine that could have been used for Monkey Island-style insult banter, but instead they went with lame stuff. Meh.

"Hate-speech" really has lost most of its meaning, it's just a "whatever I don't like"-term used by people who are unable to deal with words of opposition and some lame insults. Meanwhile, real hate-speech is still rampant on Twitter, Facebook, etc. and rarely penalized.
Some people should really learn to internalize the "sticks and stones" and grow some skin.
Or disable the chat, especially voice chat (not because of insults, but I just find babbling people annoying as hell when I play). Which they now can in TF2. Hooray!
Besides, what happened to the good old ******ing of words?

Facebook has a lot of censorship (try to post a nude picture). Twitter the same. Anyway, is kinda stupid to compare this social networks with a game. The main purpose of the former's is quite different to the latter.

In any case, whatever annoys people a generates fights will be removed by Valve like it or not. TF2 is game and the idea is that people have fun playing, so if a bot starts spawning shit on the chat and affects people communication then I think it is completely expected that the bot will end up being banned from the chat. And the same can be said for a human writing shit on the chat, if someone just want to insult other people in a chat, there are better places to do so.

TF2 is a FPS that has a chat, not a chat that includes a FPS.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPBeing German, I used to get lots of "nazi!" comments in online games when I still played them (and had a more obvious accent than I do nowadays), but I was only amused by the lack of creativeness of my opponents. Also, it was generally a sign that I was playing well to get anyone feel the need to vent bollocks.
But - and that's the important part - I'd never, ever, have called for anyone to silence them (except if they just spammed and made chat unusable with it).
If they need to vent, let them vent. Also makes it easy to identify sore losers.
Then again, I'm just not one of the people who want to silence all opposition because I don't like their words, nor do I feel so insecure about myself that I'd need a "safe chat" free of people calling me names...

Good for you, but not everyone can handle the same way verbal attacks. And that capacity varies a lot with the age so enforcing community rules in a game that is played by kids makes a lot of sense to me. In fact, whenever a kid or adult start saying shit in a game chat I think that getting banned is a good way to put them in their place.

Quoting: PatolaOk, your avatar, your representation in a virtual world is shred to pieces in a graphical manner and with sophisticated animations, 3D graphics and sounds, but still words which are as virtual as any graphics are worse? So the words unambiguously affect the person, they could not be "protected" by these nasty words like, you know, not giving a f* about them instead of asking for censorship?

It's a game were you will finds teens playing. But even if it wasn't the case, most communities have norms against hate-speech so this is not censorship, these are just measures in order to make this rules work.

Got 29.157 :P

I think I can still get it down by 100ms (at least)

Quoting: DuncOh, yes. :woot: First impressions are everything I hoped they'd be. I love the quick, “just one more go” old-school arcade feel to it. And I'm amazed how well it runs on my no-longer-cutting-edge rig. Handling is slightly strange, I'll agree. But it may just be the car.

So come on then... times. :smile: Anyone manage a sub-30s run yet? I did a 30.4 and it nearly killed me.

29.6XX mine. I'm till trying to get under 29.400 but I don't find the way to improve my performance in the second turn.

Quoting: mylkai know that, but why go this way, if they removed it all for stadia anyway?

That's probably a question for Rockstar devs :P

Quoting: mylkaand again. whats with just dx12. shouldnt VKD3D work?

I'm not in position to answer that question (I really don't know the answer), but I recall that Philip Rebohle mentioned this hybrid requirement as one of the problems to run RDR2.
