Exploration phase is my favorite phase in Stellaris, and anything expanding it (especially in mid- and late-game) is very much appreciated. :).

Quoting: pete910

Firstly, in reply to someone on X (formerly Twitter)

WTF :shock:

Am I in a some weird parallel universe of something..

When on earth did that happen????

Am so behind on well everything by the looks of it! :huh:

It happened just last month [External Link], apparently. Loosing billions in brand value [External Link] in the process, of course...

I like Larian. Even their EULA starts with "End User License Agreement aka Our Cursed Pact [External Link]".

Didn't play much yet, but I'm having fun so far. Looks like a good DLC. :).

Quoting: mamillerAll of my friends are playing EU4, but to be fair: it's too complicated for me :cry:

Usual Paradox joke: Don't worry, after just 2 or 3 hundred hours you'll get the basics. Just try it! :).

On a more serious note: yes, the learning curve is long, but the game will really shine after. Seriously, try it some time.

Proton 7.0-6, AMD GPU. Works OotB for me.

Does anybody knows if Atari still has any rights/claims over Neverwinter Nights 2? I'm still wondering if it ever returns to Steam.

(I already have it in GOG but wouldn't mind to have it in Steam also...).

Quoting: Philadelphus(Though I feel like I've come across a disproportionate number of Stone Age civs on Tomb Worlds with the Survivor trait…maybe it's just random, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is seeing something like that.)

Currently there's an issue [External Link] in the game when any pre-FTL civilization in atomic age has a 5% chance to start nuclear war event every month. And that can either wipe them completely, either throw back to stone age.

Should be fixed in a hotfix this week.

Quoting: TriasSpend a few hours in single. Apart from no-textures-during-choosing-a-character at the beginning, I encountered no notable bugs. Performance was also good on my side. :).

If you got the no-textures during character select, then you're probably missing the mini-map borders, ground textures and quite a few particle effects. The game was much, much prettier with -force-vulkan for me. But I did the same - played for 45 minutes thinking this was the experience, then went hunting for Linux issues and discovered that vulkan fixed so much of the game's engine.

Tested, but -force-vulkan showed very controversial results for me. While it fixes textures in character selection, it also makes all grass to just disappear from the game. And those two things are the only things I can spot -force-vulkan to have any influence on. Mini-map has borders and graphical special effects look fine (and the same) in both regimes as far as I can see.

Thanks, but all in all, I will probably play without it.

Quoting: GuestHow's the game? Is it any good compared to Torchlight?

Can't compare to Torchlight, but I can say that so far I'm having fun playing it. Even despite some notable graphical issues.

Just about 10 hours after GE-Proton 7-44 Glorious Eggroll released GE-Proton 7-45 [External Link]. :). And changes looks pretty big - dxvk-async is now deprecated and changed to a new GraphicsPipelineLibrary (GPL) from upstream DXVK.
Driver support for AMD/RADV "is an ongoing WIP", but apparently old dxvk-async was causing problems for some time already...
