there's a mod that fixes both skyrim vr and fallout vr, unsurprisingly the community fixing literally everything for them.

#

over $200m and it still ended up being Empty Planets: A not very interactive walking experience.

Intentionally empty planets, remember

Well yeah, you cant build tension without fully dead space in your game.

True, i would much rather play Dead Space :)

Xbox go home

So what studio are they gonna kill next..

maiden tulip
#

Can't be worse than this tho

trim rock
#

Well COD is back home at Xbox so yeah

maiden tulip
#

Xbox is clearly pivoting towards being a gaming subscription

#

Instead of a games console maker

fringe salmon
#

I really want to see what the next massive blunder is they will do

fringe salmon
#

like I have complete faith they will fuck something up so that sony once again only has to make a 30 second ad to win

#

I mean more than just a single game

maiden tulip
#

Tbh to win me over they just need to show forza

pure bear
fringe salmon
#

the games are all going to be on pc anyway

maiden tulip
#

Then i can play forza on pc like i have since horizon 3

#

I just want a new forza with better physics

Or a massive content drop for Motorsports

And ninja turtles

fading spade
#

XD

grizzled quarry
#

Half of this better be campaign??

#

Or warzone

maiden tulip
#

ARGHHHHH

grizzled quarry
#

Ain't no way I'm gonna need another drive just for cod

fading spade
#

Yeah...whats it at now? like 300gb?!

grizzled quarry
#

Rn it's only like 150

#

Apparently bo6 doubles it?????

fading spade
#

TBF, you can choose to only download the parts you want...

#

like campaign, zombies or MP

maiden tulip
#

Neither is zombies

#

Sadly

fading spade
#

yeh...

grizzled quarry
#

Warzone is usually the biggest

maiden tulip
#

So your space savings won't be much

grizzled quarry
#

Mp following behind wz

fading spade
#

thats good for me, cause I just want campaign and zombies xd

grizzled quarry
#

I won't ever touch wz so thankfully I save space there

#

But mp is probably still 100+gb

#

If not closer to 200

fringe salmon
#

the 300gb is for 6 and mw2 and mw3 at the moment

grizzled quarry
#

Okay so 6 is only like 50gb

#

50-70

#

Also does that include just mp or wz and all the other junk

fringe salmon
#

its just the preorder files so full game is probably still 100+

grizzled quarry
#

Is that for just mp or every mode

#

Because just mw3 mp and wz is 150+gbdogekek

#

Let alone campaign from mw2 and 3, spec ops, and zombies

#

Oh and mw2 itself

fringe salmon
#

not yet known or it would say it somewhere

grizzled quarry
#

Damn near need a 1tb ssd just for the last 3 cods + all modes

sage ingot
#

so people still play cod?

#

to me it just looks like slop nowadays

#

dimensional merge with those nexon games that had crazy guns and characters

nimble current
#

it has been slop for the past 15 years

#

for some reason people keep buying it though

#

its like people who buy fifa or some shit every year even if its the same low effort drivel each time

sage ingot
#

cmon the first 2 blops were cool

maiden tulip
#

It's fine at that purpose

#

Be something to turn off your mind at

quiet vault
grizzled quarry
#

Unfortunately

#

I think part of cods popularity comes from the severe lack of a skill gap

#

Which is accelerated even more by how cod pampers to bad players

maiden tulip
#

Who just want to play a few random matches every once in a while

#

Like me who just wants to boot a cod game once a month and shoot some shit and turn my brain off

grizzled quarry
grizzled quarry
#

Cod knows the majority of their player base that's for sure

maiden tulip
#

Hopefully things improve for the esports fans

#

I mean i like first person shooters but i'm just not really into the whole try hard competitive stuff

grizzled quarry
#

I don't see it getting better ever, there are too many controller players for aim assist to ever get nerfed... And mw2019 showed that the bad players hate skill gaps

maiden tulip
#

Like i'll play em with nico because he likes those games more than i do

#

Like rainbow six

#

I'm decent at it but i prefer pve stuff rather than pvp

#
  • makes nico happy when i play with him
grizzled quarry
#

Yeah 95% of the games I like are PVP in some aspect

maiden tulip
#

Just like he makes me happy when we play the games i like more

#

But yeah i try to show interest in his games he tries to show interest in mine

#

Keeps a good dynamic going

grizzled quarry
#

Yeah also probably nice for Nico when fps games are aids

#

Have a nice relaxing pve game to have fun on

maiden tulip
#

Yeeee

grizzled quarry
#

I wish I could enjoy pve games like I used to

#

Tbh the only pve game I really play anymore is Minecraft

maiden tulip
#

Pvp wise gave you tried thay new ubisoft game

#

Xdefiant

#

We played that last weekend

grizzled quarry
#

Not a big fan

maiden tulip
#

And i had fun

grizzled quarry
#

I liked it during the first play tests

#

But it kinda just feels clunky now

#

And the guns you start with are garbage compared to the ones you get at higher levels

#

Snipers are op if you are against people running the 100hp characters

#

But if they have the guys with more health they feel like pea shooters

#

The weapons have an odd feeling balance

maiden tulip
#

I was lining up headshots like crazy

grizzled quarry
#

The basic smg/ar suckkkkk

maiden tulip
#

Basic lmg is insanely accurate

#

And has barely any recoil

grizzled quarry
#

I picked it up off someone and it felt good

#

Reminded me more of mw2019 lmgs

#

High mag capacity with low recoil and good damage

#

But not op

#

Meanwhile the m4/mp5 on xdefiant shoots mashed potatoes

maiden tulip
#

Also you have so much ammo you can suppress on objectives

grizzled quarry
#

Mw2019 pkm was so funny with the 150 rnd mag

#

My brother would be planting the bomb on snd and id just be spraying random walls to scare people away

#

When you are running down a hallway and all of a sudden 40 shots go through the wall hitting you/going around you, you shit your pants

#

The amount of hackusations I got doing that, I miss it so much

#

It was strange how many wallbang clips I got on people

maiden tulip
#

Lol

grizzled quarry
#

I had hundreds of clips like this

#

I can only find the ones left in a discord server I posted them in😭😭

#

Some of my r6 ones are wild

proper basin
#

Cant wait to be home and play some games duck_bopping

grizzled quarry
#

Fuck it I'm gonna go find old mw clips now I'm in that mood

#

Nico might find this one funny if he likes r6

#

Was playing r6 the other day with some buddies trolling with iron sights

proper basin

I love kapkan in siege

maiden tulip

He said one tap go woosh @grizzled quarry

grizzled quarry
#

Here's just some funny kills through walls/smokes I got

#

Damn the r6 ones broke hold on

#

They literally just crash my discord when I try to watch them oh well

Free wall hacks and my headset was bad, couldn't imagine it with my iems now

What is it?

among us

but a bit more ttt

#

with roles

orchid prism
#

You're a crewmember on a spaceship/station and shit's about to go down. You're assigned a role, and stuff just happens organically as the round progresses.

There might be a corporate agent who's there to kill a certain crew member. Or the engineering department manages to blow up half the space station by overloading the fusion engine (the game has fully functional atmospheres, piping and all that on a tile based map)

Anyway the big news here is that it's a proper port/sequel. The original runs on this SUPER jank game engine that really, REALLY cannot handle the game or servers. And people have been trying to make ports for over a decade with no real success.

trim rock
#

Yeah it's a pretty handy library

#

Just make sure you return the things you borrow..

fading spade
#

I wish more AAA games let you download only the resources you need so you can have the game take up less space

Like if you don't have a 4k display then you just download the standard resolution textures and whatnot

#

That would reduce the file size overall and have more user choice

fringe salmon
#

that...thats not how texture resolutions works at all

#

if you had only 1080p textures in your modern games that would look shit at 1080p

fallow bronze
#

yeah

#

4k textures even are beneficial at lower than 4k screen res

fading spade
#

Oh ..

trim rock
#

Still it's a thing more games should do, have super high res textures as an optional download, along with VO for other languages, etc

orchid prism
#

(And then actually make them high quality, not just AI upscaled shit that looks worse up close)

fading spade
#

Wasn't there a game recently that had to redownload the entire game just to get a different language???? :') wtf

trim rock
#

Or maybe even stream in high quality content as needed, like how current Flight SImulator does

fading spade
#

That solution would only be valid for online games
Single player only games should have no need for Internet connection

Though we are going in the opposite direction recently :/ DRM and anticheat for single player games
So stupid

fringe salmon
#

yes some super high resolution things like the rainbow6 hd pack should be optional but most games would looks shit if you took what they have and lower it to smaller resolution textures

orchid prism
#

That's also only* realistic for service games, or any kind of game with a constant stream of revenue and a way to shut it down at some point.

trim rock
#

Preload everyhthing if desired, then

orchid prism
#

Bethesda would keel over, if they had to pay for ongoing streaming costs by the month 😄

fading spade
#

Xd

#

They do though
Elder scroll online

fringe salmon
#

what recent games had anti cheat in single player?

fading spade
#

DRM in single player
Which constantly needs an online connection

And anticheat for multiplayer

That's what I meant

#

DRM for single player only shouldn't need constant Internet access

#

And then force quit the game if your connection cuts out for a second or so

fringe salmon
#

hmm is there an uptick in those? dont remember seeing lot of that currently

frosty breach

4,5million players have been vaccinated banned in cs2

Lmfao that auto translate xD vacbanned*

trim rock

Oh cool, too bad there's still a shitton more cheaters

frosty breach
#

U sure? Just today 4,5m got banned

#

A few days ago it was like 100k ish

#

And fkin hate cheaters, they dont even cheat but also use an bot to report you for “griefing” and you get 2 week ban for no reason, yea valve is so annoying

fringe salmon

dont see a blogpost where is the 4.5m bans from

#

would be happy if that many got hit though xD

I dont see the timeline for that

novel umbra

other ubisoft titles prob did as well

#

to protect their MTX

small comet
#

i mean looking at all matches they have roughly 42 matches every 10minutes

#

that doesnt make 160m in 24hrs

fringe salmon
#

yeah I know of some but nothing recent

novel umbra
#

tho idk if it is just coop

#

or if it has pvp

#

game looked too sloppy to me

frosty breach
#

They meant like they are using users/mods to look at cases/games like overwatch over the months of players playing with cheats and valve banned them all in 1 go before confirming so they dont re use new cheats and get new infections

fringe salmon
#

oh I know they do banwaves for that but I dont see anything that says 4.5m got banned at once

small comet
#

yeah thats what i wanna see as well

#

the numbers dont add up to it being a daily stat

fringe salmon
#

I looked at the site and the twitter and it just looks at a total 4.5m bans over whatever time they tracked

novel umbra
#

question is

#

does that include old bands from csgo

frosty breach
#

Probably will announce it when overwatch 2.0 goes fully live

novel umbra
#

that got carried over

#

if it is total

frosty breach
#

No just cs2 in the last months since September

#

Even in the limited time testing of cs2 there were cheaters

buoyant osprey
#

Whenever I see people say 'Waaah why don't game developers compress their stuff anymore!!' it makes me want them to release a fully uncompressed version of the game. 0 compression on every texture. All audio is 24 bit 48 kHz WAV etc.

#

The official high definition texture pack for Fallout 4 is like 50 gb. I don't think it has any compression.

#

The textures aren't very high resolution and yet it takes that much space.

hot spire
#

There are 3rd party texture packs that size

#

And they are still compressed

#

Uncompressed only matters is the engine will render it in the same fidelity

#

The mod HD texture pack is like 60gb i think

I disabled that texture streaming because it caused some intense stutters, maybe that's fixed now then..

Also remember consoles have small drives, I feel like they should make something like that optional especially for these cases.

Has anyone tried elden ring with analog controls on their kb?

#

It doesnt work for me

nimble current
#

are you trying to play it with both gamepad input and regular kb ones

#

might not be possible to use both at once, some games don't support it

#

also make sure no keybinds are conflicting with the gamepad inputs, for instance if wasd is still bound to movement you need to clear those binds ingame

twilit kayak
#

I thought maybe theres a mod or workaround

nimble current
#

if the game only supports or the other you'll have to map out all the gamepad controls to keys and only use those

twilit kayak

That sucks

#

Riding torrent at full speed near a cliff doesnt often go very well

I'd recommend colormapping all the buttons etc with rgb to correspond with the xbox color scheme, makes it easier to member your binds, its still not entirely optimal tho

You know, the thing any business in the world does.

No news there.

nimble current
#

steam having practically a monopoly is not a good thing

fringe salmon
#

And like any other company that enforces price parity, like amazon, it's shown to not benefit consumers

fading spade
#

Steam has a monopoly cause it's the best platform currently

It has the features we all want and need

#

Every other launcher pales in feature parity to it

#

And it actually has a refund policy unlike some others

fringe salmon
#

how you get a monopoly doesn't change that you have a monopoly

#

we went over this

#

and this isn't talking about any other launcher

fading spade
#

Yeah
But it's not because Valve have been forcing their way up the market share ladder by shady means

nimble current
fading spade
#

Yeah
Perhaps not

fringe salmon
#

and I fail to see where anyone said valve did it by shady means

fading spade
#

But the playerbase on PC are well known to not want to play games unless they are on steam
Like what we saw happen with so many Epic Launcher exclusives

fading spade
fringe salmon
#

lana nobody in this article or conversation about the article mentioned a different launcher, sweeny, or how valve got its market position

fading spade
#

I know

#

Who made the legal claim? I'll read the article now one sec

#

"Valve is rigging the market and taking advantage of UK gamers," said digital rights campaigner Vicki Shotbolt, who is bringing the case.

#

Who TF is that?

still spire
#

Nah the article is bullshit

#

Because what Valve is doing is what literally every storefront does, physical and digital.

fading spade
#

Yep ....

still spire
#

EGS, GOG, uPlay, Origiin ect, all do it.

fading spade
#

Physical shops take way more than 30% cut

still spire
#

Not even talking about the cut

fading spade
#

And no one has issues

still spire
#

Talking about the price parity thing

fading spade
#

True

fringe salmon
#

not the first things going on about this though, the valve lawsuit from wolfire games is about the same thing and still ongoing

still spire
#

Price parity exists because what was happening was product sellers would often sell their products for cheaper in their own stores, and retail stories carrying the product would then be forced to either not sell because of their margins, or sell at a loss.

fringe salmon
#

and price parity is why anti trust cases into other storefronts are also happening

still spire
#

Hence why price parity exists.

fading spade
#

A lot of grocery stores in Ireland will do price matching just to retain customers

If you find a product cheaper at other store
The store you are in will drop the price of that product to match so that you buy from them instead of going to the other store

still spire
#

Lmao Wolffire Games are shitty ass people, it's going nowhere.

#

They're trolls

4Channers

fading spade
fringe salmon
still spire
#

It's Lana, so give her a break

fading spade
#

Yeah ... I'm aware
But doesn't the dev decide the price of the game?
Not valve?

fringe salmon
#

wolfire lawsuit is filed in the US, it's a different one..

still spire
#

But price parity makes sense as well, before this,

#

Like a decade ago. A lot of developers were printing their keys from steam

#

And then selling them on their own webstore

#

At a cheaper price

#

To bypass the 30%

#

So naturally Valve had to get with the program and forbid this. As it makes no sense to Valve to carry a product and provide it's services for free like that.

fringe salmon
#

we would need to see what they actually claim, on just the article it says what its about but that alone could be valid numbers or bs, so can't really judge it either way

orchid prism
#

This isn't about steam keys though.

#

It's about pricing on say GOG or Epic

tranquil salmon
fringe salmon
#

But what others do isn’t relevant to if this is anti trust worthy or not

tranquil salmon
#

If you sell a brand of chocolate and the store next door "sells" unlimited of them for free, 2 weeks out of the year, prepare to never sell any chocolates. It just makes sense to have price parity or not sell their product lol.

fringe salmon
#

This doesn’t add up as comparison because it’s not like a loss occurs of used inventory space or something like that

#

like if that store says it only sells chocolate now if the seller agrees to not sell it cheaper anywhere else, that's bad for the consumer

orchid prism
#

If a game is priced at 20 bucks on Steam, Valve is saying it cannot be priced at 19 anywhere else. That's an attempt at market control from a monopolous position.

tranquil salmon
#

Again you can't really blame them when on the other side of the coin you have epic giving away titles for free and effectively killing sales for the games they do it to on any other platform. Not saying vales the good guy, but from a business perspective it kinda just makes sense.

fringe salmon
#

valve isn't the developer or publisher for these games

#

they didnt invest in it or need it to sustain the business

tranquil salmon
#

Devs were super not happy about that when egs first started it for that reason. If they didn't throw a 90% discount on it then they just stopped selling copies after the free week

orchid prism
#

I can entirely blame them for controlling the market unfairly.

fringe salmon
#

it makes sense from a business perspective which is why there is rules to stop that because its bad towards consumers

#

like the difference vs the store example is that you dont have workers that take inventory, work on selling the chocolate, guess how much to buy to sell it all and not sit on it turnign bad etc.

#

for the most part that's all just on the publishers doing it via the UI and valve simply provides server capacity for a store front

hardy merlin
fringe salmon
#

if its a game not having adjusted prices that's on the publisher not using regional pricing

TLDW: Quest 3 is finnicky AF when using it on a PC

fringe salmon

you mean like any sort of vr headset still is

fading spade
#

I doubt any VR headset designed to need a PC to work with would have dodgy connection over a physical cable connection?

fringe salmon
#

the quest 2 and 3 usually have the least issues

fading spade
#

Quest 3 is designed to be standalone, so PC connection is not the main focus

#

?? oh wack

fringe salmon
#

you can just airlink and in the case of the 3 the cable slot is even better so its less in the way

there is a reason why I think anyone getting vr now should just get a quest 3

Gamescope is not a desktop with its own display manager and app suite and settings panel and wifi manager etc etc

steam big picture mode could do it

See how long and tedious creating COSMIC is so far for System7? xd

It is possible to simply replace KWIN with GameScope already

#

just like with any other compositor on most other desktops

drifting rose

yeah that should be the ideal way for its intended purpose

fading spade
#

That being said, I wanna see if its possible to boot into Desktop Mode in Wayland on the Deck

#

cause it bothers me that they dont let us access SDDM to make that choice

#

Games would work better in Wayland, but I guess going with Xorg is a safer bet for peripheral and display support?

drifting rose
#

maybe it's just too spotty at this point, I recently saw KDE users having to patch kwin manually for tearing support

#

X11 is old shit, but the stuff you want for games is working very reliably with it

#

plus you don't have to rely on xwayland as another middleware

#

it's just good practice at this point in time

fading spade
#

:') idk if its still being updated

trim rock
#

The real reason is Valve avoids doing any Wayland support in Steam

#

Wayland desktop mode would require reworking Steam Input and the OSK

fading spade
#

Oh?

#

Then why does it work just fine on Wayland in game mode?

trim rock
#

Because Steam actually just uses X11 there for everything, and gamescope hooks into that

drifting rose
#

I forgot, steam is still 32 bit even

trim rock
#

Like the way you do runtime gamescope config changes is by setting X11 atoms, that's just nuts

drifting rose

Oh and making Steam work natively on Wayland would probably require a ton of rework, and they'd have to give up their precious custom notifications and finally integrate with the system notifications that everything else uses...

I found F4 highly enjoyable but ONLY with survival mode on. default difficulty setting is very average/mediocre

#

@tardy basin you'll get whiplash playing the 2D ones if you just did all the modern titles, they look their age

tardy basin
#

They were made in the 90s right?

drifting rose
#

yeah, the first one came out in '97

tardy basin
#

damn.

drifting rose
#

and the first one is very anemic compared to the later ones, there's only a handful of maps

#

the dialogue trees are well-written, though everything else is incredibly jank

#

not easy to get into but ultimately rewarding

#

but if you play that after, like 3 or 4 you'll hate it 😛

tardy basin
#

Clicking readme gave me this error lmao

drifting rose
#

awesome. I think they ship an unofficial fan-made mod with the steam version, but it's probably a very old version

tardy basin
#

Oh god

#

Never alt tab on fallout 1

fading spade
#

Never alt tab from any old game...

drifting rose
#

I usually installed them from old iso files, and installed the unofficial patches and high-resolution mods over it

#

I don't trust steam releases of old games, they're usually shit

fading spade
#

I need to find a way to get a copy of Split Second
I have it on Steam but I can't apply the 60FPS patch because of Steam DRM or some shit

#

So I need a not so legit copy :/

Long time ago

fading spade
#

It's an amazing game ☺️

#

But locked to 30fps ;_;

tardy basin
#

First time playing fallout 1, it doesn't seem to difficult too get the hang of but it did intimidate me when I stepped out of the vault

#

I got into vault 15 or something and got ambushed by a molerat and a mouse before I mistakenly alt tabbed and bricked the game

#

I have to get a patch for that asap

drifting rose
#

try this mod maybe, it's a bit of a hassle to install

tardy basin
#

I'll do it later im going to bed

On ppsspp

#

first fallout is the best

#

played through it so many times since release

#

second one is probably a better game, but can't beat the vibe of the first

Also - softlocking

#

Though modern patches largely eliminated this

#

🤔
The Steam release of Split Second Velocity comes with a file called paul.dll and I am very intrigued as to what purpose it serves

And who's Paul? :')

hardy merlin
#

Isn't that SecuROM DLL by any chance? KEKW

fading spade
#

Idk xd

hardy merlin
#

I member having it with Mirror's Edge iirc

fading spade
#

It is :')

hardy merlin
#

Fun fact - SecuROM could fry your Win 10/11 install back in the day, as it installs .sys drivers in system32 directory and modern Windows just gives up when it tries to load it dogekek

orchid prism
#

Reason why Microsoft (finally) blocked it a couple of years ago

hardy merlin
#

Oh wait, not with Mirror's Edge, but with Test Drive Unlimited nod

fading spade
#

The 60fps patch corrupted my save file oooofffff

#

The "verify integrity of files" option in steam, would Steam ever do that automatically on its own?

#

Cause I assume that would remove the patch if it was done?

hot spire
#

it only dose it when you ask

fading spade
#

Ok good

hardy merlin
#

I played like 2 hours? of XDefiant, had some fun and all
And now Ubisoft is spamming my e-mail on why should I go back to playing it octo

fading spade
#

Idk where I found that save file and idk why I don't have a copy on my deck :/

fading spade
#

Ffs got to hunt it down again and hope it works

hardy merlin
fading spade
#

Crisis averted
I found another working 100% save file

#

The loading times take longer than before the patch
Which is strange

#

Interesting
Turns out if I use Decky Power tools to turn off SMT, it makes the game run stable 60

#

Instead of stuttering during intense power plays

fading spade
#

Is it possible to make the deck automatically disable SMT when you launch specific games?

#

Like for Split Second and Mariokart?

digital dawn
#

turn on persistent profile at the bottom of power tools

#

that should do the job

fading spade
#

How do I tell Powertools what games to apply the profile to?

Oooohhhhh

Wait
Ok
Maybe

#

Yup yup that's working

#

And put the things they said they would with overwatch 2

feral drum
#

instead of fixing OW1 they released OW2

#

which pissed many off

Overwatch 2 was nothing but an in-game shop update duck_sip
