Encased, a sci-fi post-apocalyptic RPG to release this 'Fall' with a Linux version

Quoting: Avehicle7887While a Linux version is welcome, I refuse to buy a game which has DLC before it is even finished. Maybe I'll have a change of heart when the game is on a heavy discount.

What DLC?

Quoting: hardpenguinHave you played it though?

I played it last year because there are so few 3D MMORPGs with native Linux support. Works great, no crashes or framerate drops, and the game loaded pretty quickly. Back then they just needed some more content and IIRC some flavor text or item descriptions still needed to be translated into English. Overall I was pretty happy with their progress and felt excited for future developments.

Have you played it too?

I've had it for quite a while now. It is fun but I'm just so terrible at it lol. Glad to see it's still doing well!

  • Valheim - addicting as hell

  • Monster Sanctuary - fun story, easy to learn gameplay

  • Space Haven - still working my way through the tutorial but it's fun so far

  • Surviving Mars - also still in the tutorial, but it's city building on Mars, what's not to love?

  • Albion Online - it's a damn love-hate relationship with this game for years

Quoting: BeamboomThere's just something about a physical stick that can't be replaced with a touchpad.

My thoughts as well. The touchpad can be nice for a casual game, but trying to move or turn with it quickly and accurately in an intense boss fight (say for example Dark Souls 3, or Hellpoint) is impossible.

Quoting: pbweird that they didn't do a farewell sale at the Feral Store for example.

A sale for something they're about to drop support for? Would you buy a car on sale that is about to be discontinued and does not come with a warranty?

QuoteWith OpenGL and Vulkan the shader disk cache also saw some upgrades this time around too. The location was moved, and the default size has bumped up to 1024MB, although they mentioned that caches with paths containing "/.nv/ will continue to use the previous default of 128MB "unless the size is manually overridden".

Yes, finally! Should reduce the daily shader processing after opening the Steam client.

Is this related to the annoying "Processing Vulkan Shaders" message I keep getting on every Steam Play title?

Yes I'm almost positive it is.
