Ubisoft is permanently on my naughty list and will never buy anything from them ever again (except old games that doesn't require an online account). Initially, I had continuous short freezes during my playthrough. I thought they were caused by Windows 11, because the game (PC version) is from 2008 …

Started playing the first Assassin's Creed IMG-20231225-WA0000.jpg Judging by comments, I expected it to be more "clunky" regarding gameplay mechanics, but I'm actually not having such problems; on the contrary, I am enjoying it so far. After some hours in the game, I take back what I said 😁 …

they delisted half life source which frankly i never cared for anyway. GoldSrc (GoldSource or pre-source aka modified quake 1 engine) will always be superior. I loved Black Mesa though I doubt valve could have done the remake or remaster as well as crowbar collective. I like Half-Life Source, but …

How do I make a small thumbnail, like Demetrio did, so I dont keep posting gigantic screenshots of a game? You need to upload the image as Attachment . You can also use the Inline action to put it anywhere in the post and not just at the bottom. Screenshot 2023-11-06 at 08-25-11 Post a reply _ …

In the meantime, I started Red Dead Redemption 2 . I heard it's the Rockstar game with the most attention to details, so I think I'll enjoy it (as I enjoyed the GTA games). As you can see from the screenshot, for now I just completed the tutorials. I've almost finished RDR2 : I had really a lot of …

(maybe frame drops, but I'm not sure they depend on the unpatched retail CD version). Framedrops are normal, if there are a lot of "animated" lights in the map and you have enough of them visible, it'll really tank the framerate. Same with those "procedural textures" provided via Fire.dll, like the …

Yep, tried 225f but it crashes on start. In the end, I'm doing fine with the CD version so I'll leave it as it is. That makes no sense to me, it's the same version I used on a SLI Voodoo 2 PC my late father managed to get working again some years ago. I'm willing to blame whatever drivers you're …

Only bad thing: it crashes when I access the Advanced Settings menu (tried to apply a patch but then the game would crash on start 😅). That's always been a problem with 3dfx drivers. Because you can't run Glide in a window, Unreal has to switch to the software renderer when this happens, but most …

Started playing Unreal (1998) . I'm enjoying it: really good level design, graphics and overall fun and challenging, mostly on enemy combat. I'm playing it on a P2 400MHz and a 3Dfx Voodoo2, 640x480 resolution: runs ok, with frame drops on big areas or when a lot of things/particles are on screen. …

after playing for so long i, ironically, came to appreciate the driving mechanics more while still frustrated by the oft silly camera. helicopters are trickier, but then its a city full of skyscrapers! I actually really liked the GTA4 driving mechanics back then. They were the most realistic of any …

Oh, and if you can, you should definitely play Prey (the 2017 game, not the totally different game of the same name from 2006), the closest game I know of to System Shock 2, and in some ways it's actually better than SS2, though overall I prefer SS2. Already did 🙂 Finished Prey (2017) . Didn't …

Yesterday I got an used NVidia RTX A4000 16GB for 450€, from a local seller. I need it for professional use. Today I had a sleepless night so I decided to install it at 6 AM 😁 It seems working fine (tested with Quake 2 RTX).
