A big problem with an unlocked framerate is the physics system, which you can generally solve in two ways:
- You tie the physics to the framerate. Problem is that this introduces all sorts of weird behavior, caused by rounding errors and frequency of collision checks. For example, objects could start glitching through thin walls if their framerate is low because collisions are checked less often.
- You run the physics at a fixed internal interval. This solves a lot of problem with the first approach, but also means that you have to put in effort to mask the fixed framerate through interpolation/extrapolation if you still want to keep the actual framerate unlocked.
So Wolfenstein New Order probably went with the first approach, made sure their physics system stays stable within a certain FPS range (30-60), and then locked the FPS beyond that.
Feels pretty smooth to drive. I usually don’t like this kind of scenery, as it often suffers from rocks awkwardly clipping into the track, but didn’t encounter that problem on this track.
PS: First comment here. Hi!
Agree. I’ve been playing the game for the last year and am now almost at the end of the MSQ and I’ve basically encountered zero toxic people and plenty of people that went out of their way to be helpful. If anything, a few BLM players were trying a bit too much to help pointing out issues with my BLM rotation, which isn’t helpful when you’re still below LVL 50 and getting new spells every other level. Haven’t seen anything like that since switching to RDM, so it may just be a BLM thing.
Two things I also like to do is changing my Youtube bookmark to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions and adding the following two filters to uBlock:
www.youtube.com##.ytp-endscreen-content
www.youtube.com###related
This basically makes it so that I only see videos from channels I’m actually subscribed to, without having any content pushed on me from the algorithm.
With Nixxes doing the port and the wealth of details they’re providing here I really hope that this will finally be another AAA game (I’m interestested in) that just works out of the box.
I’m using a combination of KeePassXC on Windows/Linux, KeePass2Android and Syncthing for database synchronization, plus a Yubikey for 2FA. Granted, it’s not a setup I’d recommend towards non-tech people, but it would take a lot before I’d switch:
- Works completely local, so I never have to worry about being locked out for any reason.
- Despite that, I still get the benefits of online synchronization through Syncthing.
- KeePassXC has by far the most powerful autotype functionality, which is a big timesaver since I often need to type passwords into non-browser windows.
The last point in particular was a dealbreaker when trying out Bitwarden/Vaultwarden a few years ago.
During the time I used a phone with an under-screen fingerprint sensor (Galaxy A70), there were three things I’ve learned:
- After applying or removing a screen protector, it’s important to rescan all fingerprints.
- There may be an option in the settings where you can set whether you have a screen protector applied.
- You can scan the same finger twice to improve success rate.
Though even with all that, a real fingerprint sensor is still better than an optical one.
If you need something that packs more power than a Pi while still being somewhat energy efficient and small form factor then yes, the NUCs are generally pretty good.
Personally I’m running a NUC from 2018 with a 8th gen i3 that’s pulling double duty as both a server running about ~10 docker containers, and as a media center.
The server part still runs flawlessly, though the media center part is getting a bit slow when opening websites on it.
As others have already said, one drawback is that there’s only space for one drive, so at least a NAS or external USB storage is recommended for backups.
