Dune Awakening. I normally don't like these kinds of games but I'm a big Dune head and although it needs to break lore for thr sake of fun, the aesthetics are all there. I'm about to build a body juicer to uo my supply of water.
Like all games in this genre though, it runs like garbage and its kinds frustrating to go from butter smooth gameplay to 20 FPS stuttering in the middle of a gun fight or when trying to outrun a worm.
Good to see I'm not alone in the performance category. I've got a decently beefy setup and the game will just freeze on me for 20-30 seconds with an occasional crash. I assume it doesn't like running on Linux? Still super fun though. I've been getting distracted gathering materials for base building while occasionally running out to do a side quest so my progress is slow going.
I'm also running Linux, so that might have something to do with it, but I also see performance complaints from people I assume are Windows users on
.
I'm playing with one other friend and they're super into base building, whereas that's not really my thing, so I go out and get the supplies from raiding camps and they put it all together. It works out.
But yeah, I read they were working on performance improvements for the next few patches before addressing complaints people have about stuff like PvP, which I haven't participated in yet. Still only in the 2nd/3rd zone and haven't unlocked all the classes or anything.
Sounds like I'm a decent mix in play styles between you and your friend lol. Good to know about the upcoming performance improvements! I could care care less about anything PvP related unless that's just where most of the spice mining happens..I'm purposely going in pretty blind so I can be pleasantly surprised by various aspects of the game.
