Godot doesn't have motion vectors yet, so implementing a temporal AA/upscaling solution is still a way off. Support for TAA is planned in a future 4.x release, not 4.0.

NVIDIA's DLSS SDK is proprietary, which means that support would have to be done by a third-party engine fork (it can't be done officially or at an add-on level).

Intel plans to open source XeSS once their GPUs are released, so this may be an usable solution that could be integrated in the engine (depending on how good it turns out to be).

Quoting: DrakkerUnless they tweaked it over the years, medics are not only strong fighters, they are totally overpowered! Their berserk thing when used by an experienced player made them close to unstoppable.

The Adrenaline powerup is disabled on the server I mentioned because it's pretty OP :)

Quoting: iiariI have heard great things about this old title but never played it in the day. Is it worth trying in the modern age for those without any nostalgia?

ET: Legacy still has an active community nowadays, although the skill level is high given some players have been around for more than 15 years now. It's one of the earlier successful examples of a class-based multiplayer FPS, but class layout isn't quite as restrictive as they would be in a game such as Team Fortress 2 (medics are really strong fighters, for instance).

If you're a new player, I recommend playing on the TeamMuppet Legacy public server. It may take a bit to get used to the gameplay, but I think it's worth it :)

Quoting: MohandevirThe FSR maintainers should have a look at DLSS and see what can be integrated that will boost FSR performances... Isn't it open source, afterall?

This is not possible for two reasons:

- The DLSS SDK is proprietary. In fact, even Quake 2 RTX (maintained by NVIDIA) doesn't include DLSS support because integrating the DLSS SDK would violate the GPL.
- DLSS requires motion vectors, which makes it much more difficult to integrate in an existing engine. In contrast, FSR is a post-processing shader that can even be injected into applications that weren't designed for it (at the cost of UI elements looking worse than with a "proper" implementation).

Quoting: x_wingBTW, the game feels quite different in the controls. Maybe they switched the engine?

The engine didn't change, but some people have reported that the crouch view smoothing acts differently since the update, especially in local bot matches. I've seen that using `sv_cheats 1; net_fakelag 1` fixes this in a local game, but that's not an option for online games if you ever encounter that issue.

Quoting: BielFPsI actually think it's a good move to keep it closed source for now until this "emulator"(?) becomes more mature. Open source it right now would probably result in more feature requests than contributing code, so it's good for the devs to focus on the basic needs right now, without external interference.

About being Linux "exclusive", once it becomes open source someone else will probably port it to windows too and I think we should respect the developer's desire to not work in a port if he doesn't want to.

Open sourcing the code does not require you to allow people to post feature requests on official issue trackers. In fact, you could even disable the public issue tracker entirely and relegate issue tracking to a separate repository accessible only via donating somehow (e.g. Patreon). This is how some open source projects handle user support to keep the volume of requests reasonable.

If I'm not mistaken, the data files from this release should be usable just fine with the Raze source port.

Looking at the screenshot, it seems the Tesseract benchmark is capping the rendering resolution at 1920×1080 or so. Besides, it could also use higher-end settings to be a more relevant stress test for modern GPUs. This is likely an issue within the Phoronix Test Suite benchmark, but I feel like it should be fixed eventually (although this will invalidate existing scores).

The rendering resolution issue is fixed by using the `/screenres W H` command (e.g. `/screenres 2560 1440`).

It's great to see the project is back. I was worried it would be lost in limbo, which would be a shame since they are now working on support for Liberty City Stories.

I preordered one back in March. This will be my first foray into "non-mainstream" keyboards, so we'll see if it lives up to the hype :)
