Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: scaineEarly Access for a AAA game is a disgrace.

Is it though? Done properly, it could be quite interesting to have a huge game by a big studio built up in the open over time. As long as people know it's Early Access it would be fine wouldn't it?

Like Star Citizen?

I think it gives the wrong incentives to management of such AAA projects. That way they will just try to find ways to milk cash from an incomplete game.

For small indie studios, I can see that as a necessary trade-off, but a AAA title from a big studio usually has no problem getting the money needed for development and while this certainly also leads to some undesirable side effects (catering to the the largest possible audience to please investors), it is still better than the above alternative.

Well, good point but you could pull up a "bad apple" for anything though.

The issue with incremental content creation for others is that it's giving you the last page of a whodunit before the other pages are finished. No one wants to hear rough mixes with click tracks in, for a different analogy.

Incremental development of game engines works really well, but you generally need some mystery and surprise, and completeness, for game content. It's just not as good a fit. The more story-heavy the content, the less of a good fit it is.

Just got to the tutorial. So far, with everythinng in ultra at 2K resolution the FPS are between 40 and 50. Much, much better that I was expecting :D

I just submitted my Proton report a bit ago saying that mesa-git is no longer required. Arch released mesa 20.3.1 and I tested Cyperpunk on it today and was extremely happy to see textures and everything loaded! On mesa 20.3.0, textures were all black and pretty shapeless. Completely unplayable. mesa-git had solved that, but I don't think it's needed anymore! You can run stable mesa release.

That's fantastic! I'll try tonight and remove mesa-git on fedora to see if that also changes for me :)

EDIT: Yep, it also works with mesa 20.2.6 from the fedora repos.

On the RTX 2060, FPS has grown significantly with this launch setting. Checking.

It seems to preload the preset with some hidden settings. When you enter the game, the FPS really falls. You need to go to the settings and apply your own. FPS becomes higher without FidelityFX 85% than with it.

The screenshot shows the hardest place for a video card in the initial locations. In other locations, more than 60 fps.

It's interesting that there is an undocumented command line parameter but they didn't give an in-game option for that. Is it because this feature is unstable? What else changes besides the framerate when you use it?

Graphic bugs in the sky. Therefore, they did not include it. :)
