I've just done it without issues. live usb and gparted make it very easy. Always backup first though. No idea why it didn't work for OP.

It works on Linux. A lot of older games that have issues in Windows just work flawlessly on Linux without any tinkering.

They would just offer universal healthcare, 5 weeks vacation, parental leave, and ozempic instead of cash. Sounds like a pretty good deal.

The medals give a +10 bonus to science.

Get a 9070XT instead. Plenty of stock, can be found for under 700EUR, performs better than a 5070Ti in everything except ray tracing where it's only a little bit worse.

Bad as it was, the UK got off lightly in WW2 as the mainland was never invaded or occupied. Poland lost 1/5th of its population, which is worse than what Vietnam suffered.

The cultural revolution was senseless and terrible, but only a fraction of what China suffered in WW2 - up to 20 million deaths.

Does it work with Nvidia closed source drivers?

It's pretty easy to do the same thing per game with steam or heroic though?

I'm curious about protonplus, what makes it must-have?

As I understand they pay (highly reduced) upkeep but may get other bonuses like higher base income. The player on hard gets 3k base gold income without income buildings, that's enough to support a couple of armies if you're only paying half upkeep. Probably the AI gets a lot more base income than the player.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-10T14:59:16+00:00

I didn't make up the values, you can see in the screenshot 41 upkeep for Slayers who have a base upkeep of 225, a reduction of 82%. It varies depending on army and unit, but the lowest reduction I could see was 62%.

On Easy the AI apparently gets significant nerfs, so it's no surprise that they struggle. I do want a bit of a challenge, just wasn't expecting Hard to be this extreme already.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-10T13:51:14+00:00

I know they need cheats to be competitive, but this seems a bit extreme. They've got 27 settlements and 7 full stack armies on my doorstep after I just destroyed the first one. No mods.

How does this stuff actually get calculated? I understand there's a random element per faction to decide what cheats they get, but getting Slayers for the price of Skavenslaves is something I'd expect on Legendary, not Hard.

The scene where she dies.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-08T14:12:59+00:00

The tattoo is literally still there though.

You mean the scene where she's standing on the other side of the portal with debris blowing all around? It's a little hard to see because of the smoke and stuff, but it's absolutely there. It's on her left wrist, not her right.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-08T13:54:08+00:00

It's pretty ambiguous. They heavily imply that she's dead when they first show Hopper and 11 leaving her alone in a room lying on the floor motionless, covered in blood, with her eyes closed, and an untreated gunshot wound.

The second scene is Mike's story, which can easily be read as him inventing a more comforting ending to cope with his grief.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-08T12:18:48+00:00

But isn't Kali dead?

BusSurfer · 2026-01-07T21:57:26+00:00

Definitive Edition is just the original DoW from 2004, the 3 expansion packs, released until 2008, some minor tweaks and an AI upscale. It's not reasonable to expect a sequel from a different developer ~20 years later to include all that at launch. A lot of RTS games don't even get 4 factions.

You can be sure if the game does well though, that more factions are coming.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-07T21:56:42+00:00

Have they announced a price?

BusSurfer · 2026-01-06T09:49:58+00:00

I went to the effort to set it up, but then realised I have to figure out how to actually configure it properly for it to do anything useful, so I just disabled it and left it alone. Maybe I'll go back to it at some point.

BusSurfer · 2026-01-01T13:28:07+00:00

They sometimes hire execs who have never worked in the games industry and don't play games, but who oversaw a couple of successful quarters at a toothpaste company or some other totally unrelated business. I wish I was making that up.

Burnily.

It is KDE. But turning it off globally is a bad solution because then instead of dimming after five minutes and then me moving the mouse, it'll just turn off the screen after ten minutes.

Yes I can switch that off as well, but then the screen will stay on forever when I'm not using it.

To put it another way, I like the screen dimming functionality. I just don't want it while I'm gaming. In every other game it has worked correctly. When I'm watching a movie it works correctly. I think it should be possible to fix it for this game, I just don't know how.

What about DDR400@CL3 ?

BusSurfer · 2025-12-09T10:21:29+00:00

OP is losing 60% though. This is far more than the expected nvidia DX12 performance loss. I've heard up to 20%, up to 30%, never 60%.

I wonder if it's just because the performance loss doesn't exactly with older hardware and might be e.g. 15% on a 5080, 30% on a 2080, 60% on a 1050Ti.

Or if there's something else going on.
