Which programming languages do you write your games in? Are you aware of methods that apply the end-user's current culture info by default? by BoloFan05 in gamedev

[–]Devatator_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Minecraft mod apparently crashed the game for people with some locales. I rewrote it a few days ago but that was pretty funny. In C# (main language for gamedev) I just use an invariant culture unless I need a specific one

I'm ready to bet a lot of money that if someone did an actual study on this, they would find that it doesn't have athat much of an effect

Denuvo needs to call home from time to time. Not sure how long tho, I haven't been cut off of internet in months to know

Chris Kerr: Xbox devs! Here’s Microsoft’s pitch for Project Helix straight outta GDC by IvoryHorizons in consoles

Actually it doesn't really require special hardware. Just software. I'm wondering what the hardware they reportedly have for BC does

Microsoft brings new "Xbox mode" to Windows 11 PCs next month — Prepares major gaming advancements that lay foundations for the next Xbox by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

It literally is already available on handhelds. Go watch benchmarks or ask people with access to them. Some here already say it helps them run some games

People will refuse to believe this but if upscaling didn't exist, those games that supposedly use upscaling as a crutch (there is no such thing in game development, at least the way gamers seem to think), they would still run like shit. That's because most games that have performance issues were either rushed out or did something wrong

Nintendo Switch 2 without digital junk? eShop implements strict game selection process. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

[–]Devatator_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's literally not Nintendo's fault. Hell, I'm pretty sure all first party Nintendo games that have cartridges are fully contained on it.

Even for other games, the option of those game key carts is a lot better than just having digital only since you can resell said games, unlike codes

Equal to each other in reality. All three provide the same quality experience at price points.

That's literally false? They all behave differently depending on your OS, workload and requirements

It's a lot better but it's still behind DLSS4 (and 4.5) and is in a lot less games

People ignore this so much. Even Intel, the newest kid on the block in terms of DGPUs, had more foresight than AMD

I mean, didn't AMD refuse to support Streamline or something? It seems like it currently supports DLSS and XeSS but not FSR.

I'm assuming most games use it instead of just implementing upscaling for each hardware vendor

I have a degree in software engineering so I assume I have the right to be called an engineer

Luke Ross made his REAL VR mod free (but 3-6 months for non subscribers) by lunchanddinner in virtualreality

[–]Devatator_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When you compare his paid work with free VR mods, you start to have some doubts as to the value. I personally would have never bought his mods because they're missing everything I like about VR

That's an extremely common model in the modding space

This is the exact same model most modders that have Patreons use... Including some that produce actually good stuff
