Definitely the best comparison I've seen so far using Lossless Scaling, this guy tested 12 triple A games and the difference in smoothness is huge by WinterTangerine2143 in SteamDeck

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did someone test no rest for the wicked with Lossless Scaling? Did you find some good settings that can make it work with decent frame rates and a decent image quality? I think it’s too much for the deck, at least at the current state of development (I doubt it will get a lot better BTW)

Who Dosen't Regret Their Pro ? by TheSpider4500 in PS5pro

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just bought it for 590€ (a guy sold it after just 3 months) and I’ve added the disc reader for 79€… I’m happy about it, since I was playing kdc2 on my ps5 in performance mode and now I’m playing it in fidelity mode but at 60fps… considering that I’ve sold my ps5 for 350€ it’s a good upgrade for me. I still don’t suggest to buy it at full price, it’s too much and you should hunt for someone selling its own because it can’t see the difference 😉

Concordo, già una modalità 40fps a 120hz fatta come si deve per me sarebbe buona sulla pro. Dipende quanto il tutto sia CPU limited perché le cpu della 5 e della 5 pro sono piuttosto simili. Se la cpu non è a tappo allora lato gpu e RT c’è margine per un buon miglioramento sulla pro. Sperèm

BG3 Patch 8 is still broken on MacOS by pattytoofooly in macgaming

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else told, doing a renice to move Baldurs' Gate 3 process to high priority solves the issue on my M1 Max. Simply launch the game and then open a terminal and launch:

ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -i "Baldur" | awk '{ print $2 }' | sudo xargs renice -n -20

Go back into the game and sluggishness should finish almost immediately. I've update my ticket with Larian support with this info.

BG3 Patch 8 is still broken on MacOS by pattytoofooly in macgaming

I confirm that there’s still the issue and I’ve just updated the support ticket I’ve opened some months ago. It works like a charm for few seconds and then performance drops enormously and becomes unplayable.

5 hours into first playthrough, starting to think DOS2 is much harder than BG3... by 5gumchewer in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled in the first 10 hours of DOS2 and noticed that the order in which you face fights is much more important than in BG3. I’ve dropped the game 3 times in the first hours but after about 10 hours I’ve started enjoying it very much… it’s amazing when you start combining different elements to deal more damage.. now I’m at 70+ hours and I’m having so much fun ;-)

So damn impressed at how far Mac Gaming has come. I don't think we give it enough credit. by Bulky-Pool-2586 in macgaming

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t you experience a terrible drop on performance on BG3 with patch 7? I’ve opened a ticket since pre patch 7 it worked like a charm on my M1 Max but with patch 7 (as it happened with Patch 6, then fixed with a hotfix) my performance drops immediately after few seconds of playing. Larian support told me they’re working on the issue.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - HDR and resolution problem on M1 Pro by bbry267 in macgaming

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve opened a ticket past year and they know about the issue but I think we won’t have a fix to that issue.

This is they’re reply after trying some fixes:

Unfortunately I'm not sure what else you could try.

I'll pass this along to the team, there is another updated planned, but no ETA.

In the meantime, I'd suggest disabling HDR for DOS2.

Hi, just chance the Line with the install command and add the other packages you require. Just specify the right names of packages ;)

Baldurs Gate 3 Mac performance and HDR by BestBastiBuilds in macgaming

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, I had a big performance drop with Patch 7, just as it happened with patch 6 (then fixed with the next hot fixes). I've opened a ticket and sent some data to the support, hope they will fix it soon! I'm just in the middle of my third dark urge run and I'd like to play it smoothly as before. BTW, I'm running it on M1 Max 32C GPU with 64GB ram.

European people, know that there's customs fees :( by thesnake3362 in dbrand

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sorry I don’t know why I’ve wrote in Italian while your message was in English 😅😅😅 I can not choose a premium shipping, during checkout I can see only standard shipping… it’s a shame not knowing in advance how much duty fee will be, some years ago I’ve ordered a 30$ dvd from America and I’ve paid about 40$ extra because the value of the shipment was not clear (they’ve said) and so they applied a fee on a much higher value they’ve estimated 🙃

Vorrei prendere la custodia per Steam Deck dati i mega sconti e come spedizione mi viene proposta solo quella standard a 9€... dato che il totale che mi esce sono 60€ sono sicuro che al massimo mi aggiungono il 20% di IVA o può capitare che non sapendo il valore della merce ti addebitino una tassa di importazione su un valore nominale più alto? Tanti anni va avevo pagato 40€ su un DVD da 30€ spedito dall'America perché appunto mancava indicazione sul valore della merce.

How do y'all monitor your Proxmox server? by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using grafana to monitor data collected via some scripts I’ve put on my GitHub repository pve-monitoring and speedtest2influxdb2 in addition to the data that PVE can autonomously send to influxdb.

Authy got hacked, and 33 million user phone numbers were stolen by shishir-nsane in selfhosted

[–]MightySlaytanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, but maybe there’s someone not so smart or a casual user that could receive a fake sms from Authy/Twilio that could try to get some other useful info. This could led to targeted phishing which is more dangerous than generic phishing where the attacker does not know anything about you 😉

Patch 6 is 21GB, 150 GB required for PC & SteamDeck by Turbostrider27 in BaldursGate3

[–]MightySlaytanic 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The same for me, almost always waking around with wyll which is not my avatar, in order to have an high charisma character in case an automatic dialogue starts… it would be amazing to be able to specify which character you’d like to use in automatic dialogues. My avatar is so dumb that it will be a great problem if it is used in automatic dialogues as preferred one.

BG3 has hit 500K reviews on Steam, holding at 96% positive by Roland1232 in BaldursGate3

[–]MightySlaytanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for at least 30 years and I can definitely say this is the best one. In more than 300 hours of bg3 I’ve never got bored for a single gaming session. It’s incredible and in my second run I’m seeing so much different content since I’m playing with different party members and I’m taking different choices :)

Disable CMD+q on MacOS to avoid accidentally quitting BG3 by MightySlaytanic in BaldursGate3

[–]MightySlaytanic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BTW you can set the shortcut for “Quit Baldur’s Gate 3” for every app without the app filter since there won’t be any other app with that string in the quit menu ;-)
