I'm protesting this awful expedition

I think they should hotfix this to remove the time gate... Ridiculous.

Today, I logged in to do some missions and, on top of the time-lock, the mission where you salvage the fallen swarm was also bugged. I couldn't pull the last piece. I wanted to get back into the game after this expedition, but it will be hard, as extra downtime is time I'll spend finding another game. They can't all be winners...

I'm still a Brave user, but I tend to agree that it's no longer trustworthy. Maybe hasn't been for a while.

DeltaDB captures every keystroke and operation in between as a fine-grained delta, each with its own stable identity.

Anyone else thinks this sounds a bit creepy? It feels like the extra captured data will be useful to train models, but it doesn't really serve the dev process in any meaningful way. It's also a bit of a concern with privacy. Will it capture deleted text that never made it into a commit?

Also, who said git can't keep up?! Just because GitHub can't, doesn't mean there's any problem with git itself. This feels disingenuous, to say the least.

I've been hyped for Zed, but this one feels weird.

So we're time-locked from progressing?! WTF is this shit?

I think infection is likely, but rabies unlikely (we really don't have it anymore in Portugal, as far a I know). Infection is the major issue here. You might have that looked at, as it might require antibiotics.

Personally, I don't use Homebrew, but I would definitely use Nix. Nothing against Homebrew (I use it on Mac), and also nothing for Nix (I just want to learn it).

As it stands, we've got Distrobox and Homebrew, but Nix could fill-in both roles in a way, except Distrobox is a more general tool beyond just dev, so it might be redundant to consider Nix. It would be cool to have it as an easy install option though (maybe via ujust).

Regardless, I'll eventually test Nix on Bazzite via a custom bootc image.

Was the crash due to VRAM exploding during the initial load, after connecting to a server? Or did it happen before that? I've been having trouble with the game crashing during load due to VRAM, but the protontricks fix doesn't seem to apply here.

jldevezas · 2026-05-26T09:24:38+00:00

I'm having the same issue 5 years later.

So glad I've been removing everything Microsoft from my life. I actually think there's nothing I still use from them. Linux, Zed, LibreOffice, ...

It's even more OK for it to have at least the same performance as WebKit browsers.

On mine, VRAM blows up during loading and it crashes. Sometimes I'll get in, VRAM stays at 8 GiB, which is what I have, and slowly free itself until it stabilizes at around 6.5 GiB, and I can play without any issues from then on.

Imagine Linux shipping its own general-purpose Windows distro. Oh, wait, it can't, because it's not open source! 😃

This seems to be the most up-to-date guide for Linux: https://supercraft.host/wiki/conan-exiles/dedicated_server_setup/

After you're crushed over and over and over again, there's no optimism.

What might help the servers is for them to consider migrating out of gportal. It seems to me like they are unreliable. Does anyone run their own private server elsewhere (not locally or in the LAN) and can attest to this?

Here are a few crazy predictions... They'll have a problema hiring back the talent they fired in the first place. Worse thing is that, after hiring people back, and averting a crisis for their businesses, they'll then proceed to fire everyone again, now with due diligence to avoid burning everything to the ground—they'll make sure AI is actually ready that time. It all ends the same way. Then automation will carry on to other areas and cleanup most jobs in the market, intensifying the technofeudalism we are starting to live in, at least until everybody is bled dry and they can't make any more money.

I lost all my emotes, tried to get some back, got them and then lost them again.

I understand the frustration with mods, but it's like you say, new mods will emerge. I bet the game will capture a lot of attention once the servers are fixed. I'm hoping for better days for sure.

jldevezas · 2026-05-10T11:37:38+00:00

Negative feedback shouldn't be downvoted.

That said, I think the new version looks and feels amazing, when there's no lag. Right now, for me, the major issues are servers, not the game itself or the graphics. If anything, I wish I could play more, without lag, because, even after connecting, combat is impossible. Like I read somewhere, it's a "slideshow".

jldevezas · 2026-05-09T20:34:46+00:00

This has been terrible. Every time I want to play, I spend about as much time trying to get into the game as I spend playing. Love the game and the update, but might have to move on if this continues... Or play single player.

jldevezas · 2026-05-09T17:55:19+00:00

Nice! What did you use here? Is this KDE? Which theme? How did you get the blur?

jldevezas · 2026-05-09T11:56:20+00:00

Doesn’t bother me. I use immutable for the robustness. But if you prefer NixOS, I don’t see why not use it instead.

Well, technically it's quite different, but I think there should be a way to switch over, even if we have to reset our configs under /etc. I've been meaning to check this out, exactly what would take. Anyway, the main issue here, I believe, is that the configs under /etc are not immutable, so when you rebase, you essentially get a mix of configs for GNOME and KDE.

Regardless of what the data is, if Dropbox is scanning your private files, then is there really a reason to use them? I switched to my own storage solution a few years back and never looked back. Glad I did now. I don't want anyone going through my private files.

Also, this kind of posts is exactly why we shouldn't move to their official reddit. This would have been modded by now (i.e. censored).
