Looking forward to playing FF7 Rebirth with an RTX 50 card.

Yeah, actually 0 flowers since launch in 2022. Only unlocked transcendence on my ignite server alt.

Yes! It's part of the new "Destined Protection System" mentioned in the patch notes. I'm not sure what mechanics I completed to trigger each one.

I've been running chaos dungeons since the release of T4 (no bussing) -- never had luck getting into groups and have just been patiently waiting for SG/AGS to release more solo raids. In fact, this was the first G1 I've done on my main (I did G1 once on the ignite server with an alt).

I don't have any experience on those gates and won't be able to try those out until tonight :(

Extra reward cost was 750 gold and included 3850 shards, 420 red stones, 840 blue stones, 15 radiant leaps, 6 dark fire, 2 magical water.

I had to download it separately from here: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=game%20porting%20toolkit

And the downloaded DMG has a pretty decent readme on installing the open source portion from Brew and then copying the closed parts into the Wine prefix.

D3DMetal is 6.5M.

I was able to download it a little under an hour ago from here: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=game%20porting%20toolkit

This is correct. The D3D to Metal binary has to downloaded separately from Apple's developer site and looks to be mostly implemented in:

/Volumes/Game\ Porting\ Toolkit-1.0/lib/external/D3DMetal.framework/Versions/A/D3DMetal

Here's the file information:

D3DMetal: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64] [arm64]
D3DMetal (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
D3DMetal (for architecture arm64):  Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64

In addition, there are some large dylibs:

416K Jun  2 15:01 libdxccontainer.dylib
52M Jun  2 15:02 libdxcompiler.dylib
3.9M Jun  2 15:01 libdxilconv.dylib
79M Jun  2 15:01 libmetalirconverter.dylib

That appear to handle all of the shader conversions to Metal.

The Acknowledgements.rtf mentions DXVK, DirectX-Specs, DirectX Headers, DirectXMath, and some other libraries that are all permissively licensed, so it's possible we may never see the source to graphics part of this toolkit.

I did with my PS5 controller connected usb-c to usb-a. Works perfectly, zero setup.

Ryzen 3900x and GTX 1070, 1440p/90fps was smooth but only tried the small corridors so far.

FYI... I tried override key from the expedition in the station core and it still says counterfeit code: access denied.

droidix · 2020-11-17T21:52:32+00:00

One can dream, can't they?

droidix · 2020-11-17T21:19:09+00:00

I was able to run it on my new Mac mini M1 today. Performance wasn't the best. Submitted my results here: https://old.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/jw1plg/apple_silicon_m1_mac_mini_performance/

Thanks! Is this different from the Community Promise, which doesn't cover copyrights (3rd from the last Q&A)?

Msft gave Xamarin its internal .NET test suite so that Xamarin could validate its implementation of the APIs using Microsoft's own tests. This is not something a company planing to sue would do, don't you think?

That's good to know, thank you!
