Yeah, they

Quoting: razing32Sound and atmosphere look on point.
My only gripe is if this is the old Myst style control where you teleport from place to place.
I would prefer free moving WASD style.

From the video, they seem to use 360° mapped pictures, so movement is not really an option.

Quoting: kokoko3kMine is just 4; so i guessi i'll have additional overhead if i don't tweak manually.
I wonder if dxvk has no way to query how much cores the system have.

Please don't jump to conclusions. DXVK does check how many cores you have, and literally nothing changes for quad-core CPUs (without SMT anyway).

Sorry, thanks jens too for explaination.

QuoteThe number of threads used for pipeline compilation was tweaked this time too, hopefully reducing the performance impact on those with 6/8 core CPUs while also allowing CPUs with more than 12 cores to scale it up a bit. You can customize it with the dxvk.numCompilerThreads option.

Is this also available as a launch option?

It needs to go into the configuration file, though you can refer to a configuration file from the Steam launch options.

That said, DXVK has very sane defaults. In almost all situations you are better off without any configuration settings. Please also keep in mind that `numCompilerThreads` is not the magic performance switch people might expect from the name.

Still, they tweaked for high core number.

Quoting: 14

Quoting: EikeI'll keep saying how incredible SOMA was, and that I recommend it even for people who are not into horror games (it's got some "safe mode") until I'm banned from this site or burried.

;)

I did not know there was a safe mode. Now, I'm curious. I'll look into this with SOMA. I do not like horror or creepy games.

I don't know if you played alien: isolation, but the creepiness is more or less the same, maybe less, because it lasts only for a small part of the game.
The rest is an incredible story.

I don't know if i actually would risk with a "soma 2".
The first was so just perfect, from the story to the voices and the graphics, that making a sequel would probably be worse, but hey, who knows!
Also, what engine do they use? Is it something they made from scratch?
It works quite well and is light on resources too.
Also, it proves to be okay even for open and sunny spaces, as you can see, for the first time in frictional games, in the very final scene of soma itself.
EDIT
They made the HPL engine, now at version 3.

Quoting: UsualAny news on Awesome Adventure of Captain Spirit?

I've been able to play it via proton without issues, good performance (50~60fps) with almost everything maxed out on a gtx 1060 3GB, 1080p

Cool, but how to import Captain Spirit save game from Proton to Linux version of the Life is Strange 2?

I didn't even knew it was possible; what if you never played CS?

Reicast is no longer developed; the main contender is now redream, which is now closed source and costs 5$.
Anyway, i'm playing skies of arcadia with my daughter lately; having a real good time!
Hoping they add vmu display soon, as the game requires it to fully enjoy Cupil and chems and the opengl renderer struggles if you enable high resolution rendering and per pixel alpha sorting. :)

I'd like the new library to be not as heavy on resources as it is now.
I've to disable hw acceleration on web content to spare some MBs of GPU ram!
