The Witcher 3 is one of the best selling games ever, and is considered by critics and fans alike to be one of the best games of its genre ever. This guy is a fucking clown.

sadreality,

Yes, came here to say this. Thank you for your services. American executive never own any failures. Claw back their bonuses, fucking brain piece of shits can't even do their jobs anymore.

Arcane_Trixster,

This is a Polish executive. You’re just parroting other’s opinions.

sadreality,

Well good to know that not only Americans suck this bad... kinda refreshing actually. Either why is u hurt tho?

Thanks! Mass Effect is in my top three game franchises (the other two being Witcher and Elder Scrolls).

Yea but that’s only because the game has lots of pretty, moving pictures. And the books have pretty covers.

I’m American, so I can’t even read. I noticed some symbols in the show that could be conceived as trying to impart words or ideas, and it just turned me right off.

You might be asking yourself: “If I can’t read, then how did I understand and respond to this topic?”, and I would then respond: “SHUT UP VOICES IN MY HEAD!”

that_one_guy,

Great comment, but could have used a more realistic scenario of using a screen reader/dictation software to comment. It’s okay though, I get that you needed to simplify it for the American audiences.

OtakuAltair, do gaming w Valve is now selling refurbished Steam Decks with up to £110 off

This is such a good deal I feel like I’d be losing money by not getting these lol

echodot,

I already have one, but now I’ll have to buy another to save money

Cryst,

If you buy 10 you’ll save even more. It’s like getting your steam deck for free! Hah, valve must be stupid or something, they’re giving steam decks away!

I got my valve cosmos elite refurbished, 200 bucks off. I love to buy refurbished so much, often it is hard to find.

Really does look like a tempting deal. Also covered here theverge.com/…/valve-steam-deck-certified-refurbi…

zachary3752, do gaming w DirectX 11 vs Vulkan: which is best for Baldur's Gate 3?

On Windows 11 with an Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU I’ve had better luck with DX11 at the moment.

Vulkan has been slightly less stable for me overall, and has had more visual glitches.

Meanwhile DX11 has been largely flawless on my system.

I think if you’re using an AMD system Vulkan may be slightly better. But it definitely feels like DX11 is the current “default” option for a reason.

I suspect Valve is truly refurbishing these, rather than blindly reselling returned units with a refurb label (as we sometimes see from certain retailers). Good for them!

Portable, Windows-free gaming just got more affordable. I love it.

That’s actually pretty cool.

And they come with the same warranty coverage as the regular steam deck, which should make them safer to buy than most refurbished products.

usrtrv, do gaming w DirectX 11 vs Vulkan: which is best for Baldur's Gate 3?

I’ve been using Vulkan in Linux with an AMD card. Seems mostly fine except the occasional black boxes during cut scenes (about 15% of the edge of the screen). I haven’t tried DX11 yet.

EnglishMobster,
@EnglishMobster@kbin.social avatar

I'm also in Vulkan on Linux with an AMD card. I don't get those black boxes.

The main menu has terrible framerate, but everywhere else is acceptable through Proton (45-50). DX11 has great framerate on the main menu, but like 8-10 FPS ingame (my Windows partition can hold a steady 60).

DmMacniel,

I have those strange black boxes as well (vulkan, nobara linux and amd) but when I tried DX11 today it doesnt show them anymore.

I’m on Linux with AMD, but Vulkan is a crashy mess for me. Can’t keep the thing running more than a few minutes. It’s fine on DX11 (a few stutters here and there, but hasn’t crashed).

usrtrv,

Dang, I’ve only had one crash.

PrivateNoob,

In Linux doesn’t DX calls get converted to Vulkan calls?

usrtrv,

Yes which is why I chose Vulkan over DX11. But depending on the Vulkan implementation for a specific game, sometimes converting DX to Vulkan might function better.

Linux with 6.1 kernel and Kisask-Mesa drivers on an RX 6700XT: Vulkan works better with fewer crashes/glitches for me. Also seems to load a little faster, but that could just be because I’ve used it more so there’s more cached shaders.

Damn, I just bought one of these too XD

darkevilmac, do gaming w DirectX 11 vs Vulkan: which is best for Baldur's Gate 3?

Running on Windows 11 with a 6900XT and Vulkan and DX11 look effectively identical as far as I can tell but Vulkan runs a lot faster and doesn't stutter when loading a new area.

Unfortunately though it tends to crash on tab out which means I need to use DX11 because I play with friends.

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yes. It’s not really meant as a visual improvement but as an efficiency improvement. Sadly it does seem (for some, myself included) that the Vulkan build needs a bit of work. For me it crashes all the time, and Larian themselves mentioned that it isn’t quite as stable as the DX11 build.
