Quoting: KimyrielleStrictly spoken, any game that's developed by a studio not fully independent in their decisions is not an indie game. Which is funnily why Baldur's Gate 3 (a clear AAA title) qualifies as indie, because Larian is a fully independent studio, despite its size.

The community seems to have adopted a slightly altered definition of the term, though. An indie game seems to be anything that's a labor of love and has the "Not made by big business" vibe to it.

That's not entirely correct. During BG3's development, I believe, Larian sold 30% of the business to Tencent.

Aside of that, strictly speaking, Larian did not have full independence with BG3. I'm pretty sure Hasbro and WotC had requirements too.

From wishlist, only It takes two had over 50% discount (my rule to purchase something I had not intended to that month or a full price) so just got it. Perhaps next month there are a few more.

I also tend to clean my wishlist of items to keep it not bigger than 30 to reduce fomo, over spending and stress if I can't finish a game in good time (looking at you, Baldur's Gate 3)

Quoting: ArehandoroAfter this update + hotfix 11, not sure which one broke it, BG3 doesn't work any more :(

Proton Hotfix was just updated to fix that.

Was it updated only for the Deck? I can launch the game there but not on my desktop.

EDIT: There is a workaround, from Larian, that fixes it by selecting the beta release_patch4_hf1 or bleeding edge, whichever appears for you.

Quoting: mattaraxiaI really don't get this reasoning, essentially being mad someone gets something newer.

That's not what I said. At all. But to make it clearer; I'm not mad in any way, and much less because someone can get something newer.

I only said that I was unhappy for the lack of opportunity to swap the old components for the new ones. That might be OK in the console world, but not in the PC industry.

I'm happy for those that can/want to afford the revision.

As usual, the community delivering what companies should.

Can the original Steam be upgraded with this new OLED? Can the new battery be installed on the original?

If the answer to both is no, even if by sending to Valve in case they don’t provide the parts to other vendors, I’m rather unhappy with this. Too early for a revision.

Edit: I just saw the HDR screen doesn’t fit in the old one.

I could only try a bit this morning with the patch, and there was another one of 15MB after Patch 4 install last night. Visuals are much better now, and without bringing the FPS counter up yet, the game feels slightly smoother.

Nice! I can only play on the Deck for a few days, and this is going to help me a lot! Will download it right away.

QuoteBe sure to check out our Steam Tracker.

In the Steam Languages graph, shouldn't Spanish include all the variants and not just the one from Spain? I think it would show a more relevant information regarding the overall usage.
