Just beat MotorStorm: Apocalypse this morning.

I played through the first 2 and the PSP/PS2 spinoff last year but Apocalypse wasn’t in a playable state on RPCS3 so I stopped there. Tried it again this week and it runs great after you tweak the settings and apply the community patches to disable resolution scaling.

Just note unlike the other souls game enemies in 2 can permanently despawn after killing them multiple times.

The workaround is you can join the Company of Champions back in Majula, It’s the Alter up a hill to the right of the path that takes you to Heide’s Tower. It’s make enemies always respawn at the cost of them doing 50% more damage. Luckily the hand creatures are weak to fire and the puddles of oil they hide in can be lit up using fire arrows or bombs.

Started playing Split/Second on the PSP after I couldn’t get the main PC version to work fully with my controller.

Also Typing of the Dead Overkill since I just got a new keyboard it seemed like the perfect time to play it.

It fixed the lag spikes I experienced playing some of the older Call of Duty titles so it’s overall been a huge upgrade for me.

Great…

So how’s Heroic for playing older PC games installed from discs?

I heard way back when that overclocking mice wasn’t too unheard of around some competitive Quake players. But this was when mice were still mainly using 100 to 250hz polling rate.

Think most big brand mice and certainly any half decent gaming mouse will be 1000hz nowadays. But people will always want bigger and faster which you see now with some 4000/8000hz peripherals popping up.

Overall the Linux build tends to run better than Windows.

There’s a few edge cases were some games run well under DirectX mode but not Vulkan, which mean they also won’t work well on the Linux build.

I’m using 32GB of Corsair DDR4 I got back in 2016. Think I can safely say I got my moneys worth already and still intend to ride it into 2030 at this rate.

It depends entirely on the game and yes some games work with EAC on Steamdeck but not on Linux desktop…for some reason.

Ironsight on Steam (before it shut down) didn’t work on Linux for the longest time, The devs eventually enabled EAC through proton for about a year before making it Steamdeck only during the final months the servers were online.

And even using Steamdeck=1 in the launch commands didn’t fix that game for me. >.>

I posted another update. while the previous fix kinda worked, It couldn’t run the game with mods. (which most PD2 players these days do) and I didn’t really test that before logging off for the night.

Ended up being more an issue on my systems end than the game itself. >.>

Just tried on the same Proton version both with and without the wsock command and still nothing…

I use a DS4 and used a DS3 for years before that.

Using none Xbox controllers on PC used to be a pain, I remember the hoops I had to jump through to get my DS3 pad working with Windows 7. Now it’s easier than ever.

I actually didn’t like the DS4 controller for the longest time because of the thumb-sticks but found some replacements a while back that has the more comfy (to me) domed design of the earlier PS controllers.

Amazon Link, couldn’t find them sold anywhere else in the UK sadly…

Steam input only lets you rebind controllers, not mouse and keyboard.

Also the software on Windows I was mentioning doesn’t just emulate the right stick but actually hooks into the game directly to get as close to native mouse support as possible.

I’m actually talking about the opposite way around (Using the mouse to control the camera). I already mentioned in my post that I have tried binding my mouse to the right analog stick but I got mixed results at best.

Depends if it gets a dedicated enough fanbase for talented developers to put the work in.

hard to get everyone to buy into xbox

I was referring mainly to the fan made PC clients like Plutonium for the older Cod titles. and it even works on Linux with recent proton updates.

There’s a similar project for BC2 to BF4 but I haven’t looked into it much and dunno if it’s playable on Linux.

BF4 is still the fps I have the most hours logged in (around 1200 last I checked)

I was on both the Cod and Battlefield trains until BF5 and Advanced Warfare…seems they just kept trying to fix what wasn’t broken while leaving long standing issues be.

Lucky most of them games got fan made servers/clients so even when the official servers die people will still be able to play them.

Even not as far back at BF4 we have 3rd party host-able servers.

They’re still quite active today with few cheaters because people developed server side anti-cheat plugins to monitor suspicious stats and keep a blacklist of known cheaters and their alt accounts.

Even the original Skate games can be played through RPCS3 if you got a beefy PC.

I dunno if it has a single player mode but everything we’ve seen of the game so far shows it heavily multiplayer focused.

Also if the names the part confusing you. This isn’t a port of the original Skate game, it’s a reboot.
