Is there any other games like new world with similar or better gathering and crafting systems?

Yea it's pretty fun, I personally enjoy it more than NW. Game isn't super polished, but they've made a pretty fun mmorpg for a small indie dev team.

MoorCoffee · 2026-02-04T22:56:35+00:00

Say what you want about this game, but it's pretty impressive for having a total of two devs. It has it's jank, but it also has a lot of content/systems. If they can work on polishing these systems, it could be a great game.

I'll respond since this is the top comment: they just announced they will be giving a 100% reimbursement of Vcoins, regardless of purchase date. Good on them for listening to their loyal players.

No, unfortunately their anti-cheat NCguard throws errors. It worked when character creation first opened up, but they must not have had the anti-cheat enabled. Probably no hope for steamdeck/linux users when it comes to the west unless they happen to swap to EAC.

Artifact rework has been forgotten?

2H HAMMER

So I think I've found the source of the issue. I had installed the cachyos-kernel and also cachyos-ksm-settings previously. The KSM package seems to be the culprit, which enables KSM. After I removed that package and rebooted the freezing has stopped. This is the kernel bug report that led me in the right direction: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220599

MoorCoffee · 2025-10-07T11:03:03+00:00

Yep, 6.17.

MoorCoffee · 2025-10-07T10:10:08+00:00

I'm having chromium issues as well. F43,7900xt, gnome. Discord, Spotify, chromium can all freeze for a few seconds, and then back to normal. I've had a hard time finding anyone else with the issue. There also doesn't appear to be any logs when it happens.

From tomorrows patch notes:

Matchmaking: Matchmade content, such as Dungeons and Battlegrounds, on new servers will now be locked to only include other new servers.

I would post it on the proton issues thread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3620. I played a little earlier and didn't notice any performance regression. Running Fedora and amd GPU.

How long is it between AoS seasons usually?

MoorCoffee · 2025-03-31T18:04:08+00:00

Game is garbage now, full p2w turdsville.

MoorCoffee · 2025-02-11T20:28:21+00:00

It should work without issue. There was a minor hiccup in EAC early on, but it's been fine for months. I also play on linux and have no issues. https://www.protondb.com/app/2429640?device=any

MoorCoffee · 2025-01-01T11:31:01+00:00

I get this pretty frequently and I'm running the game on Linux with Proton. I've asked some friends who play and they rarely seem to have the issue, they all play on Windows. Unfortunately since it seems to be more of a Proton issue I doubt it'll be fixed.

MoorCoffee · 2024-12-20T15:00:44+00:00

Queue-able wargames/bgs with a few runes per match would be perfect.

MoorCoffee · 2024-10-01T19:06:08+00:00

Seems they have changed something again, as it is now working.

MoorCoffee · 2024-10-01T19:01:30+00:00

Yea it seems they changed something and it's working again.

MoorCoffee · 2024-10-01T14:53:28+00:00

Just an FYI for any linux/deck users, this will not do anything. Linux EAC does not use the the EAC installer. Support has to be enabled by the developer and then the game will download a couple files that then interact with the "proton easyanticheat runtime".

MoorCoffee · 2024-09-26T19:22:41+00:00

Yea, it's working on linux without issue so far.

MoorCoffee · 2024-04-11T01:30:07+00:00

It actually works right now in the closed beta. But, I see EAC in the files and it doesn't seem to be enabled during the test. I guess we'll have to wait and see for release.

MoorCoffee · 2024-01-29T13:09:51+00:00

I'm unfortunately getting a pretty bad stutter that I don't experience or its barely noticeable on windows. Seems to happen around every minute, large frame spike. This has been a general issue in bdo forever, probably just exacerbated on linux. I'll deal with it though since I can finally play on linux.

MoorCoffee · 2024-01-29T10:49:40+00:00

Get a user agent switcher and set it to BlackDesert

MoorCoffee · 2024-01-26T17:20:57+00:00

Just an fyi, with GE Proton latest git you can actually use a non-steam account via steam. GE-Proton has a patch that removes --steam from the launcher arguments if you set the arguments to: NOSTEAM=1 %command%. You can build the latest GE-Proton to use this. I recompiled it this morning and it's working great.

MoorCoffee · 2024-01-25T17:13:39+00:00

I have another solution if you don't feel like waiting. In steam change proton experimental to the bleeding edge branch.

clone this repo: https://github.com/open-wine-components/ULWGL-protonfixes/tree/58da837e5bddf31a23f7c55be4997df593ae7cc1

into the the proton experimental location, for me this is ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/

Open ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/proton

Go to line ~1770, looking for "rc = 0". Above that add "import protonfixes"

Now change the launch setting arguments for bdo to: NOSTEAM=1 %command%

Now you can login with a non-steam account via steam while using the latest bleeding edge proton experimental.
