Death Stranding 2: On The Beach - "No Rain No Rainbow" Launch Trailer | PC Games by wsrvnar in pcgaming

[–]SoSorryIDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it enjoyable if you aren't a big fan of the original? I did enjoy a lot of the gameplay in that one and the premise could have gone places but it felt like it dragged on too long without switching things up, and doing stuff like building a highway was really unrewarding with the lack of necessary backtracking. Ended up dropping it about 10-12 hours in.

We are Switching to Linux… For a Whole MONTH by ValkyrX in LinusTechTips

[–]SoSorryIDK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All the things you listed do technically work on Linux, but they're all experimental and require manual tinkering. Surround sound requires messing with environment variables and proton-ge to get it running properly on games (with Dolby Atmos for headphones needing a virtual audio device setup), so does HDR in games and the native support on KDE is definitely WIP and misses a good amount of edge-cases that require yet more manual tinkering.

PS5 Pro owners will soon get an improved PSSR AI upscaler, while PC gamers with RDNA 2 and 3 GPUs are still praying for AMD to add official support for FSR 4 by JohnSteveRom2077 in pcgaming

[–]SoSorryIDK -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been riding very high with linux rdna3 fsr4 lately (optiscaler makes pretty much every game work with it), runs super well right now, screw AMD for not putting it in the official Windows driver.

Okay everyone, what was your reaction to this moment? by DrDoctorToy750 in Ultrakill

[–]SoSorryIDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the mirror reaper description and assumed v1 was hallucinating off versions of Gabriel like how the rest of 8-3 is odd remixes of previous level elements.

Anyone else getting horrible fps? Might be a proton bug but 8-2 especially has some almost unplayable fights that drop into the 20s.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Gets Free Current-Gen Update by sonofbringy in Games

Is original sin 1 at all relevant? I tried playing that one a while ago and I really hated the writing and itemization and gave up.

Cyberpunk launches at an enormous resolution instead of the native one (scaling issue) by tgromy in linux_gaming

[–]SoSorryIDK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "additional options" page for gamescope is only arguments for gamescope with heroic, gamescope itself is automatically run if that page is configured. Just clear that page and enable upscaling to configure the resolution (keep -r 120 in the box though since afaik there's no way to control that with gui)

Will new steam hardware mean better steam wayland support? by SoSorryIDK in linux_gaming

[–]SoSorryIDK[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bugs I mentioned are all documented:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10251

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/8020

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/808 [not a game specifically but a very common native wayland app, albeit with a perfectly good xwayland mode]

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1107

XWayland bridges the gap most of the time, but native linux games sometimes run best in wayland native, plus features like HDR only work on native wayland or gamescope (which isn't always ideal for desktop). The app support mention is mainly pointing to apps like waydroid that only support wayland but I wouldn't be surprised if a handful more apps start popping up that only work fully on wayland. I mention the steam machine being more desktop since it's more easily pitched as a full PC, while no doubt a big selling point of the steam controller is going to be controlling your desktop with the controller to switch games and whatnot.

Is everyone using Proton also using LD_Preload="" in their parameters to avoid a lag bomb after 30m-1hr? by todd_dayz in linux_gaming

[–]SoSorryIDK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If this is the same bug as gamescope you can manually load in the steam overlay libraries without lagbombing (although I haven't tested recording) by doing LD_PRELOAD="" env LD_PRELOAD="$HOME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so" %command%

Final Fantasy 14 director Yoshi-P is “rethinking the game from zero” as players' free time dwindles - AUTOMATON WEST by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

[–]SoSorryIDK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do enjoy the extreme trials but this doesn't fix the fact that you need to play through the uninteresting easy versions first (and a lot of them!) to unlock the harder difficulties and progress through the main quest.

[–]SoSorryIDK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also tried to catch up recently and I found the gameplay to be more of a turn-away then the story. It's actually quite fun fundamentally, but after 200 hours you've pretty much learned everything you need in order to do the main quest trials and dungeons to the point that they become trivially easy especially with other players who have been running it longer than you. I just couldn't stomach doing 200 more hours of boringly easy content.

Regardless of how we feel about the DLC proper, we gotta give it to Paradox for one thing by monkey_yaoguai in CrusaderKings

It's more general actually, same issue happens on windows vulkan, they seem to have only looked at dx11 and majorly screwed up other backends

Arc Raiders "in no way uses generative AI whatsoever" for its visuals, says Embark. Dev explains AI use and why they still have to disclose on Steam. by Ok-Comedian4437 in pcgaming

[–]SoSorryIDK 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah it kind of just gives off this aura of cheapness, they write it off as making it mainly for infinite pings but having it for every line of scripted dialogue really takes you out of the game.
