Looks like it has potential. Kind of a lite version of Conan Exiles.

Quoting: SalvatosI mean, hey, at least it's not the ICQ-Oh-Oh!.

Damn you, now I can't get that sound out of my head.

The whole point of the "secure boot" aspect of UEFI is to prevent vulnerabilities from happening and yet, here we are. That's irony.

While there is certainly more to UEFI than just Secure Boot, MS absolutely touted this feature since, as I recall in the beginning, MS or MS partners were the only ones allowed to hold the keys. This effectively meant that any non-MS OS could not be installed on a motherboard with this feature enabled. Of course, that changed eventually but a lot of us still hold a great deal of resentment towards MS over the whole thing.

I've been using OpenRGB for around a year now and it was very hackey in the beginning. Seems like it's improved quite a bit so, hopefully, I won't have to mess with manual kernel patching anymore. So far, I've just used it with some Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM sticks and it works great. The nice thing is that once you set them how you like, they retain that setting indefinitely since it's stored in the device's non-volatile memory.

I really hope the performance improves and doesn't get any worse with the graphical updates. I've only played A18 and even with a GFX 2070 Ultra the FPS is only passable, not amazing. Contrast that with Conan Exiles which I've been (obsessively) playing through Proton 5.0 and getting outstanding FPS with nearly every graphical feature maxed.

Same here. I've no interest in PvP and it's pretty clear that PvE is just an afterthought, at best, in this game.

I've had pretty much the same experience as others here. I grew up on the Ultima games and was a backer for this but the abysmal Linux performance has kept me from actually being able to play in any significant way. I load it up again every few months to check and it just doesn't ever seem to get better so I've pretty much lost hope on it at this point.

Maybe I'm one of the few but I wouldn't mind paying a monthly sub..if the game actually functioned above 20 fps for me. Admittedly, my GPU is getting long in the tooth (GTX 750 Ti) and I am planning to upgrade as soon as I decide on a card but I'm not holding my breath that SotA performance will suddenly become bearable. Considering even their Windows user base is complaining about performance, the future doesn't look bright.

I'm more hopeful for Underworld Ascendant once Linux compatibility is finished.
