Games

Only with Unreal Engine games, it seems. That includes Direct X 12 implementations in Unreal Engine 4 games:

• The Ascent runs at 2 fps on the main menu, where it basically just renders one dude standing on a roof with a completely red background. It'll also freeze.
• Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition also runs at 2 - 5 fps in menus, has low framerate in-game, and crashes every 5 to 10 minutes.
• I have Conan Exiles. Not DX12, but still UE4. Should probably give that a try and see how it goes...
• Oblivion Remastered refuses to launch. Says my system doesn't support DX12.
• Nightingale also refuses to launch. Same error.
• A couple of indie games still in development switched from UE4 to UE5 and now crash immediately after trying to launch.

Works just fine on everything else. My card is the Arc A770:

• Can get a reasonably stable 40 fps with ultra settings (including ray tracing) in Cyberpunk 2077.
• Helldivers 2 is great. Had to use launch commands to force DX11 at first, but after a few numbered updates to MESA that's no longer a problem.
• Baldur's Gate 3 is great. Avoid the option to launch the game with Vulkan, though. It is really badly implemented and causes very obvious graphical glitches all the time.
• I get a stable 50 fps on KCD 1 on ultra. Though I have only played it for three hours recently (started a new game).
• Very smooth in Sins of a Solar Empire 2, except for truly massive fights (thanks to the large VRAM size my card actually does a better job at rendering large battles than some of my friends with more powerful cards).

For none game related stuff:

• Great performance in Blender 3D, though it's finnacky to set up and I think I still didn't do it right (can't get One API to work), but despite that it still performs fast in cycles.

I think it supports DirectX 12 at least I never considered it. Honestly I have to look that up.

Hopefully the same mod can be updated to fix it in Oblivion Remastered.

They literally used the same logic from the OG. The .esm and .esp files are exactly the same as the latest version of the original Oblivion. They did absolutely nothing to the original scripts and quests other than replace the dialogue for certain characters to a new recording.

I think it's dumb, but also funny that Todd definitely knows that the "charm" of his games are how fucked up they are.

Seriously. The bugginess of Bethesda games has always been one of their top criticisms, people used to call them "BUGthesda" for crying out loud. Granted, the bugs never bothered me all that much, but you're telling me they had an opportunity to correct some of that infamy in a remaster, and still didn't do it? Get the fuck outta here.

Regardless, yeah. It's great, can't deny it. Gotta find time to play it alongside Clair Obscur now.

Yeah, I'm very confused. Maybe his favourite mod got banned or something?

Mods like "replace all black people" get banned from Nexus for obvious reasons.

Everyone gains collective amnesia about all the good times they had playing/modding Bethesda games whenever they're in the news cycle for some reason. It's kind of fascinating/frustrating.

Add in the fact that a lot of these people have regressed over the past 10 or so years to the point where they think like 12-13 year olds again, and we get this whole "anti-woke gamer" bullshit.

To be completely fair though, I had to go out of my way to find people shitting on the game for even being "woke" in the first place. I saw the type 1/type 2 body type when I was making my character, but I just figured it was a natural progression since every other game with a character creator in the last 5 years has done away with gendered body types, and Oblivion is such a classic that it might have been overlooked; sadly not. In my head though (also because duh, it's obvious if you use your eyes) I ascribe each to male or female, and it took me like a second to get through that entire thought process.

One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of "woke" blah blah blah. It's always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it's part of the victim complex they have and they feel like "free speech warriors" when they fight against it... It's fucking disgusting.

G*mers are so far gone I'm not sure we can save them at this point.

Edit: dude literally believes people are gonna hack into your PC and uninstall certain mods or games if it doesn't fit with a certain worldview in a couple years. If anything, the only evidence I've seen for people to totally censor shit like video games (and other media) is ~~nazis~~ Republicans.
