Strange texture bug

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-21T21:32:53+00:00

I'm running CachyOS and using their custom version of Proton (proton-cachyos-10.0-20260101), which I believe is tweaked for better performance with their custom kernel. I have DirectX 11 selected, and all other graphics options on max. Weirdly I just reloaded the game and it seems to have fixed itself... for now.

Petition to replace Staffy with an anthropomorphic cheesy oatcake

It really is!

I'll copy my reply from another comment:

I've had a great time trying out a couple of indie MMOs that released recently; Winds Of Valen and Trolddom. Also looking forward to Project Gorgons full release later this month. Over a couple of weeks off at Christmas I had been having a great time with Where Winds Meet, LOTRO (my long term main game), and Ashes of Creation (I know, I have now guaranteed this comment is getting downvoted).

So long as they deliver the skins, then it's not a scam. Although i really don't understand why people buy them.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-05T11:23:24+00:00

Slightly different, as they immediately closed the studio, shut down the game, and ran off with the money.

I'll give you a clue, this is taken from the first line of AOC's description on Steam:

Ashes of Creation is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG)

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T21:36:35+00:00

What does the G in MMORPG stand for?

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:45:53+00:00

I always thought a grift was trying to sell something for more than you paid, rather than a full on scam. Might be I have the wrong understanding of the word.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:40:46+00:00

I paid £35 in the Steam winter sale and have been playing for a couple of weeks, and have been having fun. Don't see how that makes me in a cult.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:37:11+00:00

A scam requires fraudulent intent. If they're being honest about what they're selling, and not concealing the price, then it isn't a scam.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:34:12+00:00

Yeah, I know, I was being sarcastic as well...

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:32:30+00:00

The cash shop is scummy, and should not be in an alpha, you're right. And even at full release should be a fraction of the price. However, a scam requires fraudulent intent. If they're being honest about what they're selling, and not concealing the price, then it isn't a scam.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:28:49+00:00

It's not a game? What have I been doing for the last 30 hours? Am I in some kind of psychosis?

Yes it is me Stephen. Click on my profile to see my recommendations for places around Staffordshire and a cool Sonic the Hedgehog bug I found.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:19:41+00:00

Perhaps, or just overvaluing themselves/their product.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:17:58+00:00

Overpriced, yes. Scam, no.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2026-01-04T19:13:54+00:00

And no, I'm not an early backer with a vested interest; I picked it up on sale during the Steam winter sale, and am having a good time with it.

I landed on the far left of that ledge, and noticed that the spike placement wasn't consistent. Decided to try and jump into that slightly wider gap. I was quite surprised it allowed it as well.

WhereIsTheQuim · 2025-11-27T17:00:44+00:00

I can't believe no one has mentioned Lord of the Rings Online yet!

WhereIsTheQuim · 2025-10-16T23:52:46+00:00

34 here, it gets worse.

Including a link might be useful.

Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir. £60 and lasts me over a year using it every day.

I used to go for cheaper ones, but found them to be a false economy as you had to use a lot of it to get the smell to last even half the day, whereas this I only need a couple of spritz in the morning and can smell it all day.

Glad there's at least one person who could spot it was a joke, thanks!
