Anyone else excited about Dragons Dogma and the upcoming Dragons Dogma 2 game?

I am trying to get some people who want to talk about either Dragon’s Dogma game to join the Lemmy version group in the Fediverse. I am currently playing through the first game on my Linux gaming PC. We can share news there. We can share pawns too, if anyone is interested.

Available for free download, or as part of a paid-for bundle! Find it here.

I'm looking to try out Linux, but I don't want to have to re install all my games for it. I've got a 500 GB boot drive, and a 2tb where all my games are. I'd install Linux on a 250 GB partition of the boot drive. ty all :)

The blurb:
"DUSK HD is now a FULL VISUAL REMASTER OF DUSK.

We have remade every enemy, every weapon, every model, every texture,
EVERY THING.
FOR YOU. FOR FREE.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

We still have some work to do! But expect a full ON / OFF style comparison trailer around Halloween.

Then full launch with the SDK + Steam Workshop around DUSK's 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY in December.

The HD models, textures, weapons, etc will all be available on the Steam Workshop as free downloads and not integrated into the base game until you install them!

This is all completely optional! IF YOU LIKE DUSK JUST HOW IT IS THAT'S GREAT!

And YES you WILL be able to use both the old and these new assets to create anything you want with the SDK and upload your own creations to the workshop as well. We can't wait to see it.

Because DOOM may be Eternal but DUSK is FOREVER. ...Or something."

Whether you are into casual, retro or AAA #gaming, KDE has something for you 🎮🎲!

AMD used to release new AMDVLK Vulkan driver updates on a near weekly basis for Linux users but that has slowed down for a while. We are approaching the end of Q3 and now AMDVLK 2023.Q3.2 has been published as their first new open-source driver release since early August.

With the time that has passed since the prior release, AMDVLK 2023.Q3.2 is at least on the heavier side for changes. AMDVLK 2023.Q3.2 brings support for quadbuffer stereo, Quake 2 RTX ray-tracing performance tuning, reducing the RS64 vs. FP32 mode overhead, reducing the AMDVLK binary size, and other optimizations.

[New features and improvement]

• Update Khronos Vulkan Headers to 1.3.261
• Support Quadbuffer Stereo
• Performance tuning for Quake2 RTX RT
• Reduce RS64 vs F32 mode overhead
• Add a setting to allow changing PWS mode
• Reduce amdvlk binary size
• Optimize the clear to single shaders
• Support dynamic sample buffer info for Extended_dynamic_state3 extension

[Issues fixed]

• Driver still reports HDR formats even when HDR mode is disabled
• CTS failure in dEQP-VK.pipeline.monolithic.executable_properties.graphics.vertex_stage*
• vkCreateRenderPass2 Crash
• Debug markers missing in RGD

If it is helpful to others, I was able to get Starfield to work with Steam with my AMD system.

I understand that folks using AMD cards have generally had a lot more success; this probably won't help nvidia users.

I'm using Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, and AMD RX 6800 XT video card. I'm not a big fan of using PPA repos, but I am using the Mesa 23.1.8 libraries from kisak-mesa PPA. I am using experimental proton in Steam.

My symptom was that Starfield would install and load, but crash trying to start a new game. /var/log/kern.log had errors similar to 'Waiting for fences timed out' and 'ERROR failed to halt cp gfx'.

The latest kernel from Canonical available via apt is 5.15.0.84. What solved the problem for me was a newer kernel. I did this today, so I was successful by building 6.5.4.

Be careful: your mileage may vary here and installing a new kernel comes with risks. Backing up your system is always a good idea.
I've found that as long as I leave known stable kernels available in my grub boot-loader, this isn't scary - I can reboot and select the safe kernel. However, if you're uncomfortable troubleshooting and don't have a second system to search for help and answers, give your recovery strategy some thought before proceeding.

I've found that this guide is a nice straightforward one for building and installing a new kernel:
https://phoenixnap.com/kb/build-linux-kernel

I deviate from this guide in two ways (I'm not being super verbose here - you may have to figure some of this out or search for more info, but I hope it will get you going in a direction):

1. make will almost certainly fail due to not being able to sign the new kernel. Side note: make is verbose. If it fails, it may not be clear why. Try running it a second time to get a more succinct message of what is failing.
   The linked guide suggests working around the cert errors by disabling secure booting in the kernel. Instead, I installed the source for my current kernel (e.g. apt-get install linux-source-5.15.0) and copied over the certificates I needed. For example:
   cp -v /usr/src/linux-source-5.15.0/debian/canonical*.pem ~/newkernelsource/debian/
cp -v /usr/src/linux-source-5.15.0/debian/certs/* ~/newkernelsource/debian/certs/

2. You can allow make to run multiple jobs concurrently, which can reduce the build time. Just ensure it is fewer jobs than you have cores. I have 24 cores, so I use something like:
   make -j 20

After rebooting with the new kernel, the game fired right up.

Hope this helps someone.

Its been a while since we had a new entry of the famous Dark Souls or Bloodborne Formula, but its here and it is good. What I can say to you without spoiling is that the story is the highlight which for this type of game, is never the case.

As usual, we got another Stage of play where they showed some new games that will come out this year and the next one. The show started with a very "unique" game called Baby Steps, I admit I was laughing at the dialogue between characters, I have no idea what the game is about but I am interested to know more. Baby Steps is being produced by Bennet Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo, and Maxi Boch and it will come out in the summer of 2024. Next, we got the confirmation that yes, indeed, Roblox will be available for PlayStation 4 and 5 on October 10, 2023.

Continuing the games from the Stage of Play( read the previous post) they announced Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and it looks stunning. Change from first person to third person either as a soldier or a Navi and explore the beautiful world of Pandora in this open world and take back your land or gain it for the humans.

For all of you cat lovers, remember the hit that went to PlayStation Plus a few months ago called Stray? Well, it was so well received by the community that they decided to do an Animated Movie Adaption.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Historically, video game preservation efforts usually cover two types of games. The most common are very old or "retro" games from the 16-bit era or earlier, which are trapped on cartridges until they're liberated via downloadable ROMs. The other a...

Steam is one of the best things to come along for gaming on Linux. Here's how you can easily install the Steam application on any Ubuntu or Debian-based distribution.

For those interested in the latest big RPG from Larian Studios, here's my quick initial report on Baldur's Gate 3 running on Steam Deck and desktop Linux.

In case you consider using the AMD pstate frequency scaling driver...

Make sure to use amd_pstate=active. I tried amd_pstate=passive originally but, even with performance governor it would severely throttle at high-fps gaming. I often got 20-30 FPS lower than what the active or even the default acpi driver gave me during spiderman remastered.

There is also amd_pstate=guided but I haven't tried that. CPU is 5800x3D and I usually play at 80-140FPS in that game so I'm thinking the load was not managed well by the passive one.
