Your windows drive would be fine, Linux side you’d need to download then again.

You can dual boot but would highly recommend that you have a separate Windows SSD. Microsoft likes to dick around with the boot loader and bricking the ability to dual boot.

I am still dual booting myself with a small SSD for the rare occasion I want to run a game that isn’t supported on Linux but honestly I haven’t done that in over half a year now so Windows just kinda sits they taking to 200 GB of space.

Jesus, this is a shit show on my machine.

Apparently watchtower started the update and now I’m stuck on the startup screen with Perform migration 20241112234144_FixMediaStreams2 since just after midnight.

ETA: over 24 hours now and still fucked, probably going to have to blow the entire things away and rebuild, what a horrible release.

No. They have a vision and implementation that they want to balance and trying to shoe horn another game mode isn’t exactly easy for them to try and balance while attempting to maintain the core game.

AI BS that can be fooled by Death Stranding.

So as a person who like to replace thermal paste on my GPU after a few years, using this would be a deal breaker for me.

No I did not try the beta because it won’t support Linux.

Same, early 2000’s was the last time I tried to run Linux for gaming and just recently moved to Bazzite and pretty much everything worked out of the box for me outside of some minor nits like suspend not working quite right but outside of that and of course my keyboard not having access to macros anymore but outside of those minor things have been more than solid for gaming and most everything else.

Whelp, that confirms that I will definitely not buy a damn thing from EA.

Then it’s probably time to upgrade from that 8088.

Sure but searching for llamas didn’t take over fifteen minutes.

Things like this is why I do not do any of these Kickstarters or any crowdfunding things anymore.

Until they put in that you have to have independent auditing for progress for funding release and mandatory release of all source code, engineering documents, and IP of you don’t meet your delivery I’m just not going to risk getting scammed.

Okay… That doesn’t exactly look great…

Still won’t be buying it. I will not support a company and devs that once again tried to pull a Capcom on disk dlc shenanigans.

I’ll see how 3 pans out and they don’t try scummy tactics again.

Intel: hold my beer.

Yup.

Fifteen minutes into your refund window.

Expedition 33 seemed to have to recompile shaders regularly but never for 15 freaking minutes for things to take effect properly.

Yeah, downvoted because I woke up and saw this absolutely ridiculous strawman that bordered on marketing drivel worth of Nvidia and monitor manufacturing advertising wing.

1. The argument is that this tech is being used by both the manufacturer and game devs to be lazy and market lies not how can we ever get to 1000hz with path tracing.
2. The whole 500hz benefits are skeptical and subjective at best considering even going from 144 to 240 you’re already seeing large diminishing returns but that’s really a whole other argument about monitor BS currently.
3. Being a complex solution doesn’t make it a good solution and frame gen is not a good solution for making sure your game doesn’t run like ass.
4. Frame generation is supposed to help older cards get better “FPS” and smooth out motion, you know what would help that over having new games use frame generation as a big ass crutch? Optimizing your damn game so you don’t stutter like a drunken sailor with a speech impediment in the first place and not adding a crap ton of latency with fake frames.

Which was what this tech was supposed to be for when it was first pitched to gamers, a tool to help extend the usable life of a GPU.

Not we know now that’s not how the tech is being used and especially for Nvidia, that not how this is used and marketed at this point and it would seem that developers are just expecting upscaling to fill in the gap for not doing a proper job to being with.

ETA, also don’t forget that it’s not just upscaling, Nvidia are pushing fake frames as the standard too in their marketing and optimization push.
