Mandatory launchers can fuck right off. I was lucky enough to get Rockstar support to accept my Steam purchases but even then I had to try twice because the first time they pretty much blew me off.

I also had a similar issue with Ubisoft. There it was actually easier to restore my old email than get Ubisoft support to cooperate.

In short, fuck forced launchers and anyone who says "it's just another account". Yeah, it is at the moment but who knows 10 years from now. You'll be locked out of your games because some fuckery happens and support won't do shit.

… Iike Steam’s? 😛

Goodeye8, (edited )

You know what I meant. If I buy a game on one launcher it shouldn't open another launcher that then launches the game. The other launcher is completely unnecessary but it is mandatory to launch the game, hence mandatory launcher.

Edit: just to make it clear, if I make another account on another store that IMO is fine. I don't have a problem with having steam, gog and itch accounts. But when I buy a game on one storefront/launcher and then I have to make an account on another storefront/launcher to play the game I already bought, that's bullshit. In OPs case he was forced to make an account for a game he bought elsewhere and is now being punished because the company is stupid.

Oops, I misunderstood and agree; I didn’t realize a second launcher was the issue here. That is messed up.

I am aware of this list. Try comparing it to itch.io and GOG, though.

Lfrith,

Think It’s the complaint is where a launcher is required on top of a launcher. Like if you buy Cyberpunk 2077 from Steam, GOG, or Epic it doesn’t required another launcher on top of the launcher you bought it from.

Good thing is that it does seem like majority of games don’t do that. Even EA is moving away from it.

farcaller,

That’s not the best example, because CP2077 has its own launcher (at least the steam one)

Lfrith, (edited )

And I’m talking about launcher the type you have to log in again.

Example being Ubisoft games where you get it from Steam or Epic and then have to install UPlay and then log into UPlay.

I’ll even use Finals as an example which isn’t DRM free. You install on Steam and go on playing with no additional login into a secondary launcher. Or you install from Gamepass with no additional login for a secondary launcher.

Yep, I have the same story verbatim dude. Fuck Rockstar, permanently. Haven’t played one of their games in like 5 years, and I never will again.

WhyAUsername_1,

I mean, rockstar hasn’t release a new game in like 5 years. So you have not missed out on anything yet.

frongt, do games w Does a "SuperTuxKart Remastered" or similar exist?

It’s open source, you’re welcome to do it. STK is GPL while Godot is MIT, so I don’t know if that would be easy.

But I doubt the STK project would be receptive to that. You’d be doing it on your own, and STK has a pretty small audience as it is.

Perhaps you should see if the STK project wants developers to improve the graphics quality (while still remaining performant on old devices).

Looking at their dev guidelines page, they don’t have any texture resolution limit other than “don’t use very large textures on very small objects”, so I doubt that the project has any really hard caps.

supertuxkart.net/Texture_Guidelines#texture-detai…

Do not use large textures for small objects—this wastes video RAM.

If they are concerned about distribution size, if the game supports it or could support it, might be possible to have a separate high-resolution-texture package, package those separately.

@tal@lemmy.today avatar

I doubt it, seeing as it looks like it’s still being actively developed. I’d expect anyone who wanted to have higher resolution textures or whatever to just add an option for that to the main game.

EDIT: It does look like they have abut 500 “addon” tracks, and I suppose that some of those might have higher-resolution textures than the tracks in the base game.

online.supertuxkart.net

EDIT2: Also, it’s not SuperTuxKart, but you’re looking for more-realistic open source racing graphics and haven’t seen it, there’s TORCS. That might do what you want.

EDIT3: Also Speed Dreams:

speed-dreams.itch.io/speed-dreams

EDIT4: It doesn’t look like you can sort the add-on tracks on the website by size, but you can sort by upload date, and I’d assume that newer tracks are probably more likely to have higher-resolution textures.

I know this is probably not helping but ideally you’d want to go through this process

…rockstargames.com/…/changing-the-email-address-o…

If this process is not working people might want to report on it.

smeg, do games w What games have mastered "Both emotional extremes"?

I’m not really a “plot” sort of gamer so probably don’t have a huge amount of experience to choose from, but Undertale really sounds like it fits the bill. It’s all laughs and jokes until it’s not.

unconsciousvoidling, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

I couldn’t play red dead 2 because of some old email I didn’t recognize was associated with my rockstar social account that was linked to my steam account where I bought the game. I didn’t even give a shit about cloud or online play. I just wanted to do the game all alone but it wouldn’t let me without that email. It was the dumbest shit ever and i eventually just got a refund. They definitely use people over seas for support and it takes them forever to reply.

Yurgenst, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

I delt with the exact same issue recently. I was locked out of my 13 year old Rockstar account and despite sending everything asked for they wouldn’t help me. It took 9 separate support requests over the course of 6 months before I was able to get my account back. Their support is the most infuriating AI bullshit I have ever dealt with.

I didn’t know if it will help you but it seems the key phrase that actually got them to look at my account was that I was “worried about my account being compromised”. It was a complete lie but I had run out of options. They ask every time “when was your account linked to steam/epic” and I just said “I’ve never linked epic, oh no someone has my account!!”. That was the only thing that worked. Good luck 🤞

UndergroundGoblin, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

Yep. I have the exact same problem with EA-Connect. My account is just gone because EA doesn’t offer any support.

A lot of private information

Public nicknames, passwords and emails that could be fished from public dumps and retried, public crew names… Where’s the private and where is the a lot?

Also you’re not even paying attention. You called someone Aaron well after they’ve left the conversation.

Yeah I wouldn’t have let you in either with that hostility and level of vaguery
