I spent 40 minutes trying to eke out more than a handful of fps on an empty map with the resolution set at 1080p with Proton Experimental. I gave up and got a refund, I'll try again if they fix the awful performance.
I got a tremendous amount of enjoyment out of the first instalment of the game, it's a big bummer that I can't give this one a go
- solardev 3y agoIt's pretty playable on GeForce Now, for what it's worth. Still a big laggy, but I was able to play for many hours without major issues... just the occasionally annoying but livable stutter.
- JCharante 3y agoGeForce Now has been amazing as a mac only user
- solardev 3y agoSame. I have a M2 Max and GFN is much much easier than trying to set something up with GPT (Game Porting Toolkit) and Whisky, and much faster & quieter too. An RTX 4080 running in their data center means no local heat and noise.
- Unfrozen0688 3y agoYes because you have no other options.
- solardev 3y agoThere's lots of options? GPT, WINE Crossover, Luna, Boosteroid, Shadow.tech... none of them run as well as GeForce Now, though. Or a dedicated gaming PC.
- eppsilon 3y agoDoes it support Steam mods yet? That's what kept me from using it to play CS1.
- Unfrozen0688 3y agoDosent really count as it is not rendering on your machine... ofc its good there.
- solardev 3y agoSo? That's even better. Doesn't use my battery life or create noise & heat. Netflix isn't run on my machine either.
- smolder 3y agoIt just uses natural resources to outfit and power data center stuff to create heat and noise somewhere further away. Netflix... is fairly efficient, though being on-demand, perhaps much less so than broadcast TV.
- solardev 3y agoYes, but better that, in a shared environment with center-wide cooling and such, then each individual household needing to do that on their own. Also way fewer cards needed this way, with users being able to share cards through the day instead of each needing their own. Basically mainframes all over again :)
- Chaosvex 3y ago> Yes, but better that, in a shared environment with center-wide cooling and such, then each individual household needing to do that on their own. I don't think this actually tracks, unless the heat is actually being put to use. You don't need HVACs when you have the machines distributed.
- solardev 3y agoWhy don't you need distributed HVAC? A gaming desktop can use a kilowatt of power, which is what a small space heater might put out. It often will make the room uncomfortably hot. (Anecdotally, this is part of why I switched to Geforce Now, myself. My apartment got incredibly uncomfortable from the heat. It's an older unit with no air conditioning.) In data centers, sometimes (not always, and perhaps not often?) the heat can be more efficiently handled through central heat exchangers, more efficient commercial HVACs, etc.
- DonHopkins 3y agoTry not fluoridating the water, defunding the dentistry college, and subsidizing sugar, so everyone's teeth fall out. Runs much faster then! [Chill: it's a tooth joke, not a conspiracy theory.]
- dieortin 3y agoWater is not fluoridated in most of the world, that’s one of many weird things in the US
- deanCommie 3y agoThe fix fits into a tweet -> https://twitter.com/ColossalOrder/status/1716883884724322795 https://twitter.com/ColossalOrder/status/1716883884724322795 > If you're having issues with performance, we recommend you reduce screen resolution to 1080p, disable Depth of Field and Volumetrics, and reduce Global Illumination while we work on solving the issues affecting performance. This is all I had to do to get smooth performance on an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
