Action-RPG in Early Access 'Last Epoch' adds in online multiplayer

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.

GE-Proton 7-44 is out with multiple game-specific fixes, plus initial HDR work

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...

"This account's replay is not shared".

Seems like you forgot to switch your link to public. It's private by default.

Oh, well, guess I'll share mine too...



Mostly Paradox strategies (55% playtime), to no surprise.

Started replaying Mass Effect (LE) a short time ago, and occasionally also launch Europa Universalis IV.

Will try Victoria III today. :).

Quoting: dpanter
Quoting: EikeIf you want them to count for Linux
If you use the Linux native client, it counts automatically as Linux (unless you play the game more time on another platform within the first 2 weeks).
Well, it should count as Linux, I think, but then even Liam recommendation (on your link) ends with "If you want to ensure developers see a Linux sale: play it only on Linux in the first two weeks, don't buy it and leave it." That "don't buy it and leave it." confuses me a bit and so I always install and launch games for a few minutes just in case...

GOG suspends all sales in Russia and Belarus
4 Mar 2022 at 6:20 pm UTC

While I can understand what GOG is trying to do, I should say they aren't very good at explaining it to the customers. Yes, they wrote a statement, but that statement is somewhere at the bottom of the site, and on the second page already. And if I try to buy a game from them today (I'm from Belarus), I will only see that there is no box to enter my bank card number. No explanation, no link to the statement - simply no way to finish order. Looks like a site UI bug more than anything else.

Spoiler, click me

Also, on a side note, I would like this approach so much more...

Quoting: damarrinYeah, I don’t agree with gog here. They should keep selling the games and donate all proceeds they make from those sales to Ukraine. And put up a big banner telling their Russian costumers they’re doing it, let them vote with their wallets.

I scroll through all download page and looks like they are distributing 32bit version of NWN:EE [External Link] for free? I don't really need 32bit version anymore, but still, free distribution is unexpected...
