Dubious_Fart,

no, but now i realized i forgot to meniton console in my post, so fixed.

Dubious_Fart,

yeah, the game stinks of gamebryo, but… I’ve only had one crash so far… Who would have that that all it would take to make a less buggy bethesda game was the entire QA department of one of the biggest companies on the planet.

Dubious_Fart, (edited )

I concur with pretty much everything you said, though I will say my FPS has been significantly better than yours. You got an nvidia card? I heard they are bugged with bad performance and waiting for a driver update.

Game, while less critically fucky than previous Betehsda efforts (No doubt thanks to Microsoft dragging Bethesda into QA kicking and screaming), still carry the heavy stink of gamebryo, with classic bugs that have been there for decades… Like items/NPCs falling through floors for no reason.

I dont mind the very plane world map on random gen planets and shit, but how the fuck am i supposed to navigate New Atlantis or Neon on a field of useless floating dots and a collapsing fast travel icon stack?

edit I want to add that the autosaving fucking sucks, too. Especially since i got set back by a significant margin due to the crash i just had.

Dubious_Fart,

I’m not familiar with NUCs, So I dont know if that affects anything… but I’ve been playing Starfield since it unlocked on Linux, so theres no issue with at least the linux part if that helps you with anything.

Dubious_Fart,

I got a free copy with my GPU. I wouldnt have spent 100 dollars on 5 days early access. thats just stupid as fuck.

Dubious_Fart,

Look at his username, Obvious troll is obvious.

Dubious_Fart,

Its fallout 4 in space. It doesnt compare to NMS. Or Elite, or Star Citizen.

Dubious_Fart,

I mean, the steamdeck is running on an APU, so its not going to run 2023 games like butter at high settings.

But on a home PC, with better (and dedicated) hardware, the game runs pretty good.

I’ve got Starfield on ultra settings and, so far… outside of New Atlantis, my FPS has stayed maxed at vsync, and even in New Atlantis, its still very playable.

Dubious_Fart,

The irony of calling someone whiny while whining.

Dubious_Fart,

AMD rewards site is, by all accounts, very shitty.

Even worse if you are on linux.

I had to temporarily install edge to get the damn thing to work.

Dubious_Fart,

I’m genuinely shocked its still going, and theres no guarantee or evidence the 7800xt will be added to it.

Dubious_Fart,

huh. my preload is already unpacking… very…very slowly, despite the fact that i’ve got a fast NVME and has every core pegged at 60-80% load

edit

Well I dont know what the fuck was doing, but its done and i cant start the game so i guess it wasnt an accidental launch or anything.

Dubious_Fart,

whoops its working for me, on linux, with proton experimental.

Dubious_Fart,

i’ve been going strong for over 2 hours now on proton experimental, on nobara, with AMD GPU/CPU. I wonder whats making yours crash.

Dubious_Fart,

you need GPS to go to the place youv’e been multiple times, because you have GPS. Your brain does a funny thing where it doesnt feel like it has to remember shit when you have the answer infront of you on a computer/phone/device cause it is basically using that device as its short term memory.

Dubious_Fart,

yep. still remember my childhood home phonenumber cause i had to dial it so much.

cant remember my own cell number without opening my cell and looking at it.

Dubious_Fart,

You and I both know that freed up space is just used for anxiety.

Linux 6.6 To Better Protect Against The Illicit Behavior Of NVIDIA's Proprietary Driver (www.phoronix.com)

Luis Chamberlain sent out the modules changes today for the Linux 6.6 merge window. Most notable with the modules update is a change that better builds up the defenses against NVIDIA’s proprietary kernel driver from using GPL-only symbols. Or in other words, bits that only true open-source drivers should be utilizing and not...

couldnt they do the thing where one team analyzes the leaked code and documents functions.

and a nother, clean room team, creates independent fresh code to achieve the same results as the original?

I mean, clean room activity like that has a strong precedent, going back to EA vs Sega at least. where EA stole a sega genesis dev kit, had one team document the functions, had another team independently create code to execute those functions,and made their own dev kid and put out non-approved sega carts (which is why the EA sega carts were taller and had the yellow plastic tag)

Sega sued and EA won due the clean room engineering and sega and EA came to some kind of sweetheart deal/comrpromise/settlement.

Dubious_Fart,

I’ve always heard cleanroom, since you keep your coders completely isolated from the investigation team so there can be no question of code pollinating across, Just documentation to be reimplemented in a unique and different way.

Dubious_Fart,

Nope.

Some people in my family tried to teach me when I was young, but I didnt immediately and perfectly absorb the knowledge of how to master it from the atmosphere, so obviously I was just a piece of shit that was trying to ruin their transmission/car/life and cant appreciate a single fucking thing anyone does for me and that i’m an ungrateful piece of shit and to just get the fuck out of the car and never ask them for anything again (not that I asked them to teach me stick in the first place… They insisted, i suspected then, and continue to do so to this day, that it was just a trap.)

Which really helped my desire to drive, much less drive stick.

Met a nice lady at the grocery store

Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing...

Dubious_Fart,

its a dumb copypaste bullshit

Dubious_Fart,

Lutris can let you log into your GOG account and install games no issue.

I dont know how it handles updates, but thats only an issue if you’re playing a new game, if you’re just playing old games like Arcanum, its no issue.

Dubious_Fart,

the only two things that shock me about this is

  1. That it took until now for it to happen
  2. that people are shocked by it.
