That and surprisingly Breath of the Wild always crashes my PC after a while. I don’t know what is causing the crash other than possibly a spike in memory that freaks the GPU out. Luckily Unicorn Overlord doesn’t do that and that game looks a million times better on my PC. It upscales really nice.
The weird one I get is DQ XIS, if I launch it in 2D mode it plays perfectly, but if I swap to 3D it crashes hard, like my whole computer has frozen up and I run Linux so that’s not normal.
I miss Xenoblade, and I’m mad I bought special editions of the whole series only to be unable to play them now, but that’s a few hundred bucks lost vs all the money spent buying three Switches only to have them fail and losing saves because you can;t back them up yourself and Nintendon’t sued the guy who wrote the code that let you to push their shitty cloud nobody asked for.
I’ve been off Sony for a while, as well, because getting ads on the home screen was a big “Nope!” for me, but when I left they had a better cloud system, but you could still plug in a USB device and backup your saves to it without PS+. No idea if they broke it as well, but Nintendo has always been at the forefront ot greedy corporate fuckery, it’s just now that enshittification has seeped into everything pushing the boundaries of an already bad ecosystem isn’t just kinda annoying like it used to be.
Nvidia, at least this time, they’ve ticked me off enough when I upgrade I’ll be leaving. Vulkan drivers are nice for Eden, though. Much better performance than the GL option, though a few games fritz out on Vulkan and I have dropped textures bad enough I need to force GL instead.
Animal Crossing, the one I play the most, is very mixed. It runs insanely fast using Vulkan, but sometimes my hair will disappear, or my floor will just be a black void when I enter the house. GL fixes this, but runs at about 3/4 the speed, which is good enough by I can see noticable lag when I am in the “park” I built between two waterfalls.
I’m sure there’s a setting somewhere I’m missing, but I’ve always just powered through things since this is the oldest my GPU has ever been, and an RTX 3060 isn’t that old and fairly decent for most things. I played Cyberpunk (the original even supported ray tracing, but I had to drop that with the 2.0 update and increased hardware requirements) without issue, though I have noticed anything running on Proton tends to have issues with reducing the framelimit which native Linux ports don’t have any I didn’t see in Windows before I switched to avoid the Plague of Eleven.

I’m on Linux too. AMD or Nvidia?

Ahh ok. I’m on AMD. It’s an older card, the 5700xt. It crashes at the sight of FSR for pretty much everything. Probably time to upgrade.
