...You can try to agree on what mods are "agreeable" to use but that requires trust. My mod will enforce it.

If it's your server then you should be enforcing consistency for everyone

I've never played multiplayer, only solo. Not that I have that many mods and they're all QOL rather than "super powers".

It appears there are a few bugs from the new patch, even for vanilla, so I'll "default_old" and stick with that for a while anyway.

Unfortunately, as is always the case, I have to wait on the Valheim+ mod to update. The few others I use have already updated but V+ is the big one with the most impact. I simply cannot play it vanilla again, the mods really elevate it to another level and remove much tedium.

Removing the shadows should be a good plus by itself as my RX6600 struggles a little at 1440p. I have started using gamescope at 1080 -> 1440 and this has made a nice difference.

Wreckfest is a smashing good time on Steam Deck

I rarely buy non-native games but this looks ideal for my deck. In fact I haven't bought any game for ages, such is the backlog!

Quoting: ShabbyXYou'd think Liam would use a Linux-powered phone...

Depends how much of a masochist he is

I have a Pinephone and as much as I love it, it's really hard work to use for actual basic phone calls.

p.s. I really need to use my Deck more!

I'm in the market for a new keyboard and I would certainly get this (with UK layout) if available in the UK.

I also played it on a GTX970, no problems whatsoever. Really enjoyed it. Will take the new release for a spin when it's available for Linux.

Quoting: mr_daylightUnfortunately the developers of this game seem oblivious to the biggest problem with their game. Animation & Movement. It's honestly terrible. A fluid movement and attacking system would drastically increase the quality...

Is this a common quibble? Can you give an example? I've never thought it's anything other than great

The engine could do with some optimisation but otherwise I can't fault the game.

As for the update, I will probably dive in.
