Don't look down.

Well that was fun, took me a while to work out how to get into the upper floors, I'm quite proud of getting to the archer over the river he was bugging me Tragically death visited the area Or so everyone believes I did have a few issues at the beginning where the game crashed to desktop a couple of times right at the start but that has apparently been looked at, so I'll give it a few weeks & try the new version Also Mr Harrington was inside his apartment walking into the wall with the veranda on the other side when I found him, not sure if that's been mentioned But overall a really enjoyable mission, excellent architecture, well decorated, good but not impossible puzzles, thank you

Pretty cool! As a general rule, Doom 3 \ TDM engines both like long narrow tunnels like this. Dram did a bunch of experiments with different map designs and found that long and thin maps can be enormous and still have great performance. I think this is why "No Honor Among Thieves" has lots of long + thin areas. The designers took Dram's findings into consideration.

It's as low as you can get these days. And, it'll surely not run satisfactory on the minimum specs...

well this is irksome in the extreme, it turned out to be ICUE from corsair f.... things up and i mean royally. the keyboard my friend uses has hardware macro support sadly the latest update to icue either A does not work B BSOD's C completely destroys your bios in case it was set to UEFI only. Guess what my friends bios was set to sigh... the problem is that icue writes a driver into the bios uefi boot sector (not the Hd boot sector) which gets loaded before anything else so a reset of the bios does nothing you have to reflash the bios to actually get it working again. Luckily the board has a qflash utility so that part was easy, now comes the hard part. You need to completely exclude the SSD or harddrive from booting then do a secure erase from another installation so it does not try to write the UEFI bios boot sector again, failing that start again from point 1. I think im going to sue corsair for the crap i had to go through to get this board working again

** As of 2.11 many of these assets have been further optimized and incorporated into the core mod** *These are reposted from the discord server* Conversions of cc0 licensed assets from https://polyhaven.com/models: **POLY HAVEN CC0 ASSET PACK 01 "SEATING"** - REV4 - narrow seats. wide seats - red seats. blue seats **POLY HAVEN CC0 ASSET PACK 02 "GOTHIC"** - Initial Release - Even more furniture - Interactive prefabs: Containers, cabinets, drawers, "working" grandfather clock - Fully modular pier kit - A very nice bed ! But AI can't sit in the chair ! Notes on "optimization": many of these meshes are particularly tricky for a very novice modeller as they contain a lot of smaller detail geometry which ideally would be baked into a normal map. That's a bit beyond me admittedly, so a much greater emphasis was put into keeping a higher level of detail but having as few shadow casting triangles as I could manage. The shadow mesh is typically only 10-20% of the overall polygon budget of an asset in the pack with some exceptions for the large "hero" assets like the bed.

I never realised Bill Gates was a member of these forums. Welcome to the community! I hope you enjoy The Dark Mod. Perhaps your Foundation could help pay for the server hosting or fund the development of some new features?

Well, for a gamer Windows is the best option. Security is relative in Linux. It is not that Linux cannot be seriously affected by malware, if it can, there is malware that can turn any PC into a paperweight, directly affecting the bootsector. There have been some of these since the 90's. Currently, although it may not seem like it, Windows is the most resistant OS against Viruses and Malware, for the simple reason that it is the majority OS and therefore the most attacked, while Linux is still a minority OS with more than fifty different distros and never for this reason, it has been the main target of attacks, the same goes for Macs. With a difference that for Macs there are AVs available apart from the default one, which does not exist for Linux, there is no AV that deserves this name for Linux. A dedicated RootKit or similar can give a Linux PC the good night, while even the current Windows Defender itself can kill it, apart from an efficient Sandbox system that has W10 and 11 as well, plus dozens of excellent AVs that are available for this OS. Another difference is that the saved passwords, in Linux, once logged in, are accessible in plain text, in Window there is a second Keyring that keeps them encrypted and only visible with the system password. Security is not the problem with Windows today, but privacy which it has by default with all the telemetries, if the user don't change it.
