Dune looks like real-time Civilization game. I hoped for something akin to C&C, but it's still nice to see RTS genre is alive and pretty well.

Not gonna lie, this is the highlight of the patch for me.
That being said, I don't see myself playing through it again until more significant changes.
Inject that Dune game straight into my veins! Looks good.
Not sure it's real-time. I mean it sure looks that way but then again you have the typical Ressources +xx in the top part of the UI, something that looks very turn based.
Smöl worm though
It literally says "A DUNE 4X REAL-TIME STRATEGY GAME" at the end >_>
Sins of a Solar Empire on Arrakis surface terrain instead of space I guess.

No DLSS Update?Some more notable changes for PC:
Patch 1.5 & Next-Generation Update — list of changes
This patch contains various gameplay fixes and improvements, the next-gen update, as well as free DLCs.www.cyberpunk.net
STABILITY AND PERFORMANCE
- HDD Mode has now an auto-detection option. When enabled, it automatically detects which drive the game is installed on, and, if neccessary, boosts data loading and crowd activity at the expense of crowd variety, extra loading screens, and less detail in the streets when driving fast.
- Added AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution (FSR) 1.0 algorithm, replacing Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS). On PC it can be enabled in Settings > Graphics > Resolution Scaling. The option is not configurable on consoles.
- Multiple fixes and improvements related to stability and optimization.
PC-SPECIFIC
- Added a benchmark mode. You can find it in Settings > Run Benchmark.
- Added a "Toggle walking" option when playing with keyboard. It is activated by pressing G during exploration. The key can be rebinded in Settings.
- Enabled transparent ray-traced reflections on glossy coating of some cars.
- Enabled Variable Rate Shading (VRS). This feature boosts rendering performance and visual quality by varying the shading rate for different regions of the frame. Available only on compatible hardware.
- Fixed an issue which blocked Resolution Scaling on AMD graphics cards when Ray Tracing was enabled.
VRS sounds like it could be a decent boon for performance. Looking forward to playing this after work.Some more notable changes for PC:Patch 1.5 & Next-Generation Update — list of changes

Seems like they still didn't bring back the option to never combine items in the taskbar, so no thanks, I'll stick to Win10 until this feature returns. (I know there's 3rd party tools to bring that feature back or replace the Win11 taskbar with the Win10 one, but if I have to rely on 3rd party tools, I rather stick to Win10 for as long as I don't need to upgrade to 11).
I was genuinely thinking "wait, didnt it already have all these things?."...huh
in any case, Im sure Win10 will last you a while – and after that, may I interest you in Manjaro Linux?
Steam :: Steam Deck Deposit :: Steam Deck: Replacement Parts
Hi all, Hope everyone’s doing well – 10 days and counting until launch day! We have some exciting news to share. If you watched our Take a look inside Steam Deck video (aka the “please don’t do this” video), you may remember we said certain Steam Deck replacement parts would be available for...
VRS could be interesting -- I hope someone does a detailed investigation into what exactly it does.
Cyberpunk update is 45GB!
I just want to get a constant 60fps.
I just want to get a constant 60fps.
I think I'll abstain
Ugh. I get this too. It's rare, but when it does happen I can't launch anymore steam games or do anything until I restart my whole PC. Even if I close the client entirely and end all Steam related processes.I really need some help here. It is driving me nuts. Steam thinks processes are running, but they aren't. Phantom processes. It doesn't matter the game. Doesn't matter how I exit a game. God forbid I restart the client, yes it happens after that too.
How can I fix this? Only rebooting my system works. Killing steam process doesn't work nor does offline to online >.>
Sorry I can't be helpful. I haven't found a fix or even the cause myself... I just keep hoping it randomly gets fixed in a Steam update some day.
==============
Hoping this get's a Steam page soon. Supposedly it will release this year, despite only being announced in October.
Elden Ring PC reqs are back. Those leaked ones were right? 12GB is such a weird number for a min spec. Why 12?
I can't actually see a performance difference in Cyberpunk with the new patch, when raytracing is on. I think it runs a bit better than before when it's off? But RT still puts it down into the 40's, I'm pretty sure that's down to the CPU being choked because my GPU usage doesn't max out when I lower the resolution through DLSS.
I don't think 12 is that weird.
Basically, you built a game that takes up 8 on consoles (let's ignore the fact that some of that goes to the OS, and that it's shared with the GPU), and you don't want to deal with support complaints from people running 8 GB who also have 1 GB of game and chat clients and 2 GB of Chrome running in the background. BAM, 12 GB minimum, solved.

Steam made Lost Ark so popular for Amazon, the servers can't handle it.
Fuck Valve.
Fuck Valve.
of course now i cant find it, but i remember those devs saying how much they wanted to support epic and what theyre doing etc.Dev: It's permanently EGS exclusive
Me:
so. erm. yeah.
Yeah, Europe servers are a shitshow."Watch 4 hours of Twitch and get some drops for Lost Ark"

I've been relatively lucky yesterday and today, and got in after work without a queue (though today it took a few tries to even get to the server select without it immediately crashing because I guess the login-servers are constantly on fire).
But if you ever log-out after getting in, that's basically it for the day.
I've quoted it for you in the EGS thread. But yeah, these devs can f*ck off.
I would be so all over Lost Ark if I could.T_T
They have only one test pc in office, has 12 gb ram.
Lost Ark levelling is so boring though.
I could just blow away monsters for hours, the combat is that good, but the quest design, fucking hell is it stuck in the past. Feels kinda like FF14 in pacing actually... with less story.
It's even stupider when you look at endgame boss fights... which have more voice acting and more ridiculous cut scenes than the entire levelling experience...

If it makes you feel better I played Lost Ark on launch day and uninstalled it after an hour or so. It was filled with generic f2p MMO that you've no doubt played 100 times before. Do not recommend.
I need something to tide me over until Elden Ring... Is cyberpunk actually worth digging into now, or should I keep waiting? Feels like on PC this is as good as it's going to get given we're 18 months from launch now.

Yeah let's bring back the deloran! and member's only jacket! and COCAINE!
GLAM HAIR ROCK! REAGANOMICS! COLD WAR BULLSHIT!
HELL YEAH THE 80's are back
jfc what a bunch of dweebs and dorks. YEAH PITCHFORKS FER EVERYONE!

We already live in a dystopia, so if at least we get back glam rock and dope cars that break down all the time, that's a plus.
Yeah, the quests are pretty whatever. Though I do appreciate that they are quick and never have you backtrack at all, they are always done on the way to the next main story location and are turned it at the next main story location.
I think the game does start ramping up in spectacle at around level 20? The Morai Ruins dungeon is really cool and the Glorious Wall setpiece is bonkers.
And yes, blowing monsters into pieces feels so satisfying
(That's a bit older-ish, only 2 skills and not many mobs, I currently have even more oomph
)I would make a better video, but it's not like I can login right now ¯\(ツ)/¯
ty! i have that thread on mute
but i checked your posting now and it lines up with what i remember, yeahpertti uses a mac, maybe it doesnt run there?
Yeah I just have a Mac, I could use my old MacBook Pro with windows on it to try but doubt it could run it well.
Goona need to get yourself a windows pc, mate.
I'll create a gofundme and send you a link.
Maybe once Proton on Linux settles, with a very high number of game running perfectly, Valve will port it to Mac too. Wine itself should work on macOS too. The bigger issue would be getting Vulcan support. Maybe Valve could revisit their shim from Vulcan to Metal again.
