I don't play TF2, but I thought basically all hl2 -family games were updated to 64bit ages ago.. apparently this wasn't the case :o

Any of the other games running the same engine still in 32bit land?

[-] d_k_bo@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago

Portal and Portal 2 are still 32 bit. Newer mods based on Strata are 64 bit.

[-] soupermkc 2 points 1 year ago

pretty sure anything other than gmod (and strata games) is still 32bit, even with the vulkan renderer support

[-] Link@rentadrunk.org 19 points 1 year ago

Doesn’t look like they bothered to update their macOS client to 64bit. Currently the game is unplayable on new versions of macOS.

finally. can't wait to check the performance difference.

[-] shitescalates@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago

Significant for me. Not sure if vsync is working.

[-] kevincox@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

For me it is actually huge. I went from 90-120 FPS to nearly 300. I must be some outlier though. I also haven't played a while so old numbers are based on memory and likely on different kernel, drivers and more. I also don't recall if I was using Vulkan before while the new build asked me if I wanted to use Vulkan (and I switched).

Fix the bot issue damn it, and add content

[-] Skipcast@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bot issue yes, but you can't expect them to keep adding content to a 15 or whatever year old game surely

They do not recognise that number.

[-] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Valve: no no silly one numbers stop at 2.

[-] Skipcast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

One can dream

[-] moreeni@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Finally! Literally the biggest update of the last... how many years?

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

....okay...why now? Why at all?

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Some OS’s don’t support 32 bit apps

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Well, if you're running 32 bit, is gaming your priority here?

[-] 520@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe?

Lots of older games never get updated to 64-bit.

Besides the only operating system to not support 32bit code anymore is macOS, which even Valve treats as not worth bothering with anymore.

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Valve still makes money off TF2 through passive financialization in the game's cosmetic/sidegrade microtransactions. Having a snappy feel to an old game is important. I would rightfully expect a game from 2007 to have perfect performance even if I have other stuff open.

League of Legends (2009) enters the room

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

I leave the room because of the smell.

B.O. and sadge.

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Is that what's his name as what's his name from Marvel Avenger's

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

You are very lucky World of Warcraft isn't in this room

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I've been close enough to a room like that thanks!!!

It wouldn't launch at all on rolling distros, bundled OpenGL translator was much weaker than DXVK

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aw fuck, time for youtube to force that shitty game into my sub feed again. For fuck sake just die already.

EDIT: Come on you all know that's true, the gameplay sucks and the skin economy is basically just NFTs. You cannot in good faith say you genuinely enjoy the game so much as trapped within it because the community is a fucking cult, one which is forced onto you by every platform at every moment after your escape.

[-] KarfiolosHus@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

Uhhm... then don't watch them? Surely these are not the only kind of videos that youtube recommends that you don't want to see.

Lastly, you seem angry, is everything OK?

[-] Mananasi@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe just let people enjoy whatever game they like?
