Meh, AI has its uses. People need to look how its used before grabbing their torches and pitchforks.

If AI generated material is used correctly then it can be a asset to a game studio but if its being used because everyone is just too lazy and trying to skip over work, well then it typically shows and the game suffers for it!

Generative AI is really not meant to be a 100% do-it-all thing, more like 70% of work, 30% fixed up and enhanced by humans. IMO

We'll see if the game launchers actually start using this...

On the Steam Deck this gets 25-40fps, hopefully that can be improved. Be nice if the developer made a config preset in-game to toggle SD optimizations.

In saying all that, this isn't my type of game but it is clearly the meta everyone is playing atm (except pokemon fans, they are angry as always)

Needs to run better

Pretty excited for this one. Got the ultimate version (got on discount) sitting in my steam account waiting.

I did enjoy Stalker Anomaly and mods. Might reboot up a new game sometime soon.

Apparently is FULL of cheaters/hackers.

Also it has a coin shop which I'd hope is only cosmetics but wouldn't be surprised if there is a pay2win element. Either way cheaters ruin games such as this where everyone expects to be playing on a more or less level playing field, but ultimately aren't due to ineffective anti-cheating methods.

Wouldn't be surprised if they implement kernel level DRM (blocking Linux) in hopes to stop cheating (it won't).

The only way to stop cheating is custom design anti-cheat into their OWN server and client code, relying on generic third party tools only cuts out the MOST laziest of cheaters!

Quoting: Root-CoreAs this is a Unity game, you could test

I'll test this out sometime. However I'd like a fix for the stupid cursor rendering issues. Run normally outside of gamescope it's low res 8bit cursor, and in Gamescope it only renders part of the cursor... such a silly issue.

Additionally these sorts of workarounds should just NOT be needed. A typical gamer/desktop user will never be able to find these fringe workaround fixes.

As good as proton/wine is, it's these fringe oddities that persist that really hurt it.

I was messing with rogue trader recently and noticed the mouse cursor is in 8-bit color or worse (looks bad compared to windows) and it had quite a bit of micro stuttering going on. Was not smooth when panning camera.

Tried a few things, couldn't fix those two issues.
I did manage to fix the unitymodmanager unifont problem, but if the game is infinitely more enjoyable to play under Windows as it doesn't stutter and the cursor looks normal, then I'll have to do that.

" I have to go find a job flipping burgers or something. "

Sorry that job has already been taken by AI. What we do have is a job where rich folk need someone to live in their toilet to wipe their asses! Requires a degree!

Quoting: TermyAnother example of the idiocy of the whole DMCA-Bullshit...

Yeah anyone can just strike anything down with DMCA. It is so easy to F' with not for profit or content creators as they just AUTOMATICALLY accept DMCA takedowns, no evidence or proof needed.
