Yep, Aquirus really went downhill after being bought by Epic,
and that is after Horizon Chase 2 was locked to Apple Store for a year.

Major disappointment..

Guess exclusives don’t work outside the console space.

Quoting: KrejsyLainenHow is this a thing? Almost every gamedeveloper nowadays are using unreal engine + they have the epic store, how are they this impacted by just Fortnite losing players?

Fortnite is (was?) HUGE.

It seems it used to have more active players than all Steam games combined.

Surprisingly little, based on the changelog; I haven't poked at it much, but it seems pretty stable.

Quoting: Billli11Did you have env set in launch option?

Looks like the latest build has fixed that already.

But what about the 9950X4D AMD? We need to further stack dimensions and use time to fully optimize our CPU processes. ⏰

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyThat's NEVER gonna happen - Tim Sweeny is openly anti-Linux, and he's quite vocal about it, too. If you're really keen, you can play it on your Stream Deck via Remote Play... It takes a bit of mucking around to get the settings just right, so gameplay is smooth; but it works.

I wouldn't be that cynical about it, it's always possible especially as Linux continues to grow. But unlikely? Definitely

Have you ever read Tim Sweeny's comments about Linux? The man almost-certainly has more love for Hitler than he does for Linux.

ok let's be so fr here he wasn't advocating for all linux users to be flayed in the town square he just sucks up to Microsoft way too much. the fact Unreal 5 natively compiles for Linux at all when it released during an era of decreasing Linux ports and increasing reliance on Proton shows he isn't pulling out all the stops to actively sabotage Linux adoption, he's just really slow and wants Microsoft to buy out his failed company.

Currently rocking the 7800x3d cpu. Pretty happy with it. It's one of those rare unicorn CPUs because it combined the best value and nearly the best performance, while defeating Intel easily in almost everything. I haven't regretted my purchase at all. I just wish all CPU purchases were this way.

Quoting: GoEsrNvidia didn't start supporting Adaptive Sync until 2019, so it's unlikely but you could try it easily enough by disabling G-Sync (assuming your monitor's OSD gives you the option).

It does not.

This is cool, but likely overkill for most people. For pure gaming, 8 cores is more than enough. I recently upgraded to a 9800x3D and man, what a beast! I've yet to max it out even with my most demanding and largest zoo builds. Even the 7700x or 7800x3D would probably been fine for most people, unless you're doing heavy productivity work. AMD themselves said that the double cache is unlikely to improve gaming performance.

Epic reaffirming my decision to not sign up for an account, even if they sometimes give free games.

Quoting: EhvisIt didn't help that my current monitor is g-sync and that switching colours meant I'd have to go Freesync and get a new monitor as well. Just didn't feel like researching that.

What monitor do you have? I do know of any monitor that supports G-Sync but not Freesync (or adaptative sync).

Asus ROG PG348. One with an actual nvidia board. If it supports Freesync/Vesa adaptive sync, it isn't mentioned.

May I ask why you don't like liquid coolers? My last two CPUs have both had liquid coolers, and they are straightforward to set up and work well.

Watercooling takes less space in the buiild, but is overall more prone to failures (not just leaking, but pump failures and air bubbles leading to increased noise). It's a reason I've stuck to aircooling until now, even on a 13900K and now a 9950X3D.

I suppose the 9950X3D2 will work fine on a high-end aircooler (I use a Noctua NH-D15 personally), but you'll want to undervolt it like any high-end CPU to keep the power consumption to reasonable levels. I have my 9950X3D on -30 curve optimizer and it barely throttles at full all-core loads (much less than the 13900K at -90 mV did).

Liam, Thank you for posting your experience with FSR & the FPS experience you are getting with your hardware setup.
I missed the news whenever FSR started working on linux.

I will need to upgrade form my ancient GTX 770 to a low end AMD video card whenever prices come back to earth in like 3 years.

Apart from the handful of G-Sync module displays (G-Sync Ultimate) all G-Sync compatible displays are wrappers around VESA's adaptive sync just like Freesync.

Quoting: dimkoPay to win game got expansion, hooray!

It's not a pay to win game, it's a pay to skip the grind game.

If you have not grinded, and you are in the queue against guy who did - who will win?

Even if you win in team vs team, you - will be cannon fodder and he will be cannon fodder killer. Much fun!

Your comment doesn't really make sense. You get matched up with people around the same vehicle unlock level as you regardless of paying or not.

So you want to tell me it levels on vehicle AND skill? Also, crew? free tier AFAIK - can not be rested more often, so inherent advantage there. AND models of vehicles not available to free players. The fact you don't know it well enough gives disadvantage, even if paid for vehicles are worse.

That is horrible. I'm still very annoyed of the first wave of destruction as mentioned by M@GOid – that was baffling as well. Why destroy something that works? The generic name on local leaderboards is stupid.

Quoting: dimkoWhen comes to actual coding - game was and still is in poor optimization state.

The game has also had a huge RAM and VRAM leak in the Vulkan Linux build for a long time now, it's not present in the OpenGL version ...

I quit playing last year, but when I did play, I just ran the Windows version via Proton. Ran 1000% better than the native Linux build. Not ideal, but it is what it is.
