I am not using the betas as I use my gaming machine also for work, so I don't want to cause weird glitches when working, but I'm excited for the full release this winter!

Off ouch that's not great to hear, but I appreciate you sharing it. I think waiting on release and listening to other feedback will be the way to go with this one.

I completely agree on the time commitment. That's the main thing that always keeps me away from 4x's. Well ... that and the insane learning curve for the ui/mechanics. Definitely going to keep an eye on this one.

Man, a blast from the past! I think this is very near the bottom of my wishlist on steam when sorted by "date added" - I had completely forgotten about it! It's been so long though, I think I'll wait for release and reviews before getting excited.

depending on the implementation, this might force me to finally upgrade to the ultrawide oled I've been eyeing for a while.

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: NezchanBut back to talking about the preview itself, am I the only one getting more of an Irish "fae" vibe rather than the typical Tolkein-derived style?
Well, in Tolkien, dragons are gigantic, crafty, eldritch horrors, more like forces of nature than creatures, capable of devastating entire cities or kingdoms almost unstoppably, with human-level or higher intelligence, having the ability to bewitch people just with the sound of their voice or the glance of their hypnotic eyes, including amnesia so powerful it can make them forget everything about themselves. A single live dragon is always dangerous, a major liability, and a wildcard that everyone in a large radius must tread lightly around and avoid rousing.

You gotta throw in the Shadowrun style of dragon, my all time favorite of all those mentioned!

DUSK HD + SDK & Steam Workshop out now - needs Proton on Linux / Steam Deck

It's interesting to me that they're releasing upgraded visuals. To me that was the least important thing about the whole game! Such a wonderful game, hope the devs go on to do more amazing stuff!

Skyrim Special Edition updated with Steam Deck support, ultrawide res, bug fixes

Quoting: PoliticsOfStarvingNever had luck getting mods going on Linux. It was a struggle as it is with Skyrim modding on Windows back then, leaving the game temperamental and unstable as hell, let alone the nightmare that is trying to do it under Wine.

me neither. That's why I gladly appreciate having the creation center (is that what it's called?) inside the game itself. Now for the first time ever I can actually turn on the unofficial patch, and some texture upgrades, etc... I just wish there were more of the topmost popular mods in there, like skyui. Oh well. At least the unofficial patch is there!

Xorg is dead, long live Wayland - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) dropping Xorg

Has there been any further work on the flickering issue when using adaptive / free sync? Last time I tried turning it on my monitor (3440x1440 144hz) it had noticeable flickering that made in totally unusable. I don't know if my monitor is to blame specifically, but just a quick search online brings up a ton of support threads all over the place discussing it.
