RightHandOfIkaros, (edited ) do games w 'More DLC = More FPS' — Monster Hunter Wilds Players Ask Capcom for Answers After Theory Suggests a Backend DLC Check Is Tanking Performance - IGN

I haven’t ever had good performance in this games benchmark tool, even at the absolute minimum settings available. Game looks worse than a Wii game and still struggles to manage more than 20 fps in scenes with more than one monster on them screen (Frame Gen disabled, enabled is like 30fps but with the most horrendous second and a half of input lag I have ever seen).

Until it hits 60fps on my system, I am not buying it.

Something I just realized is that this fits exactly with the “Only happens in production” issues many coders run into.

Anyone in the studio would obviously install all the DLC, since they need to test its contents. They’d also run habitual tests without the DLC to verify it’s not necessary, and that it passes basic checks. But, they wouldn’t do that often. Same with how, say, many webapps run internally without the 80 MB of tracking scripts.

If he buys it, he will break the Linux compatibility guaranteed.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn’t inspire confidence, but it looks like they have a multiplayer game post-Rust that still works on Linux. Does Rust allow for self-hosted servers?

Matty_r,
@Matty_r@programming.dev avatar

Im pretty sure you can, yea. But only if you disable the anticheat I believe - thats the part that breaks it.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It still sucks, but at least there’s a path to playing the game, so that bodes well for this game’s future even if Facepunch buys it.

@thingsiplay@lemmy.ml avatar

My first thought too. But if he does not end up buying it, Linux support will be broken in a year anyway. Unless someone else steps in and continues.

Matty_r,
@Matty_r@programming.dev avatar

Well yea, sure. He just has a bone to pick with Linux. It was a pretty good MMO, so it would be cool to see it continue so its worth the gamble.

Best hope we have are community servers.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

As an MMO, would that make it the first of its kind?

iamthetot,

Absolutely not, there’s lots of MMOs that have custom servers.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

In an official capacity? Because there’s something like City of Heroes, but they only have 1 licensee and that’s all they’re interested in. Or are they games that call themselves MMOs while doing way less technically than an actual MMORPG, like Guild Wars 1? I’ll grant you I could be way out of the loop, but I’ve only ever heard of pirate servers serving this role in proper MMORPGs before.

iamthetot,

I’m confused by what you’re looking for. You responded originally to a comment referring to community servers. Now you’re saying in an “official capacity”. I’m confused.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Survival games like Rust often offer, as an officially supported feature of the game, the server code for you to run your own. When a World of WarCraft community server is run, it’s against Blizzard’s wishes and terms of service, and when they find out about it, it gets shut down, because Blizzard only wants you to play that game on Blizzard’s servers. I’m asking if any other MMORPGs offer community servers as an official feature the way that most survival games do, because it would be the first I’ve heard of it.

@illi@piefed.social avatar

Except the City of Heroes one, all are unofficial. But for the shut down MMOs, nobody really cares afaik. Sure there are cease and desists for private servers for live games, but never heard of such takedowns for servers running for “dead” games.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

So then if Facepunch were to buy New World and allow players to self-host servers, it would be a first for the genre, which would be cool.

illi,
@illi@piefed.social avatar

A lot of ifs but yeah, I guess. Would be a cool precedent to have.

@HollowNaught@lemmy.world avatar

I played it at launch and couldn’t get above 26 fps on lowest settings. That’s with constant stutters btw

I’m not playing it until I can at least hit a consistent 30

IEatDaFeesh, do games w 'More DLC = More FPS' — Monster Hunter Wilds Players Ask Capcom for Answers After Theory Suggests a Backend DLC Check Is Tanking Performance - IGN

It’s a shame. The game used to run really well on my Linux PC and I reached HR 280. A recent (a month or two ago) update completely fucked it up for me and it’s a pain to hunt now. I doubt they’re ever gonna fix Wilds 💀

Wimopy,

(Sadly on Windows) The same happened to me. Decent performance around release, later updates messed it all up. That said I think the latest update did make it run better than ever on my machine, but obviously YMMV.

I do think they’re working on it, they just seem to be lost? It should be a big deal for Capcom if Monster Hunter loses popularity due to performance.

jeeva,

I was sort of waiting to get back into it until after the December (?) performance patch - sounds like that hasn’t arrived/helped? 😩

Wimopy,

Unfortunately it seems very much a mixed bag. For some the more recent patches did a lot, for others they broke things.

jeeva,

Ahh, that’s a shame.

iamthetot,

I’d keep an eye out for more news about this bug. If it’s legit and they fix it, sounds like the performance gain is really impressive.

iamthetot,

I mean, the problem mentioned in the article would be an easy fix, and the original discoverer claimed some pretty massive performance gain.

IEatDaFeesh,

At this point Wilds is not worth the tinkering. I’ve had my fun so if I have to put extra effort to get it functional then I’ll pass.

Armok_the_bunny,

Fascinating, the most recent update seemed to have massively improved things on my Linux system. At the very least I am no longer getting the problem where my entire computer freezes so hard even caps lock doesn’t work.

Is the community able to reproduce it? Does anybody know?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Word is Digital Foundry in touch with the modder and will be running some tests.

lofi,

There’s already a mod on NexusMods, check latest mods. Steam DLC unlockers exist, as well, if you’re willing to go dow that route.

BurgerBaron, (edited )
@BurgerBaron@piefed.social avatar

Valve has started cracking down on DLC Unlockers: https://sh.itjust.works/post/20823476

I think it only matters for online games /w anti cheat still?

iamthetot,

Worth noting that the person who originally reported this says the mod isn’t ideal and warns against using it.

lofi,

It’s a pretty basic Lua-based workaround, but it works. It won’t be long before some properly patches out this behavior, but unfortunately you’ll still need reframework for the injection to work due to Capcom anti-tamper.

OldQWERTYbastard, do gaming w Bobby Kotick Claims Activision, Call of Duty, and Consoles Are Doing So Poorly It Proves He Was Right to Sell Activision Blizzard to Microsoft for $69 Billion - IGN

Anyone else think a seismic shift is coming for gaming soon? Like “Crash of 1983” level of catastrophic.

Triple-A games just don’t have any heart and soul while crammed full of micro transactions. Shovelware makes it harder for good titles to float to the top.

Indie studios are our best hope.

The only right thing scum like Bobby Kotick can do is drop dead for what he had a hand in doing to the market and his crimes.

OldQWERTYbastard,

Amen. I miss old Blizzard.

IWW4,

Old Blizzard was dead long before activision bought it.

I am impressed, I dont play fortnite, but still its interesting they allowed 3erd party customizations.

mushroommunk,

They probably saw how much money Roblox makes and that public opinion is (finally) starting to turn on Roblox. They want that pie

LedzMx,

Yeah a slippery slope if children start making content and not paid enough

Virtvirt588,

Children, paid?

Sentence that makes the capitalists blood boil - because why pay them a fair share when they can work for free, while basically sustaining their services.

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w New Life is Strange Game Spotted, And Yes, This One Will Finally Bring Back Chloe

Every game after Before the Storm sucked. Even Before the Storm was only okay, not a good as the first game, but holy moly was every game after total garbage.

Ashtear, do games w New Life is Strange Game Spotted, And Yes, This One Will Finally Bring Back Chloe

Not gonna lie, if they get Ashly Burch I’m gonna pick it up.

tatann, do games w New Life is Strange Game Spotted, And Yes, This One Will Finally Bring Back Chloe

I liked Before The Storm (although not as much as the ones made by Dontnod), but was really disappointed by The Expanse, and Double Exposure seems to be poorly received by fans, so I’m a bit worried if this one is once again made by Deck Nine

zaphod,

Be worried, it is made by Deck Nine. Dontnod has nothing to do with Life is Strange anymore.
