    I'm sorry

  • Please drive carefully: scientists plan to transport volatile antimatter for first time

    For reference, a single kilogram of antimatter reacting with regular matter would create an explosion only slightly smaller than the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested, and well over a thousand times more powerful than the atomic bombs that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

  • Microsoft is working to eliminate PC gaming's "compiling shaders" wait times

    Jump

  • It's in Options - Downloads - Shader Pre-Caching.

    Shader Pre-Caching allows Steam to download pre-compiled GPU shaders matching your system configuration. [...] If enabled, Steam will collect shaders from your system when needed.

    It'll download shaders matching your card+driver and (if you're the first with that specific config) upload your own compiled shaders for others to use.

  • Enshrouded, Grounded, and Abiotic Factor have been my favorite games of the past few years, and all are even better in co-op.

  • The developers know it's bad, and the game's next mega-patch is focused on fixing all the tech debt they've accrued during Early Access. You can already choose to play while the shaders are still compiling, but that slows down compilation multiple-fold and you'll be missing features such as lighting until it's finished so it's barely playable (especially considering how ridiculously atmospheric the game is - there's a reason the shader load is so heavy and it's totally worth it).

    It's also probably nowhere near as bad a wait for most players. Shaders are compiled on the CPU and which shader paths are compiled is based on what your GPU supports. I have a relatively new GPU (4060) and a fifteen year old CPU, so it's compiling the fanciest of shaders on an ancient four-threaded relic.

    The game itself runs fine - 60 FPS at 1080p on my ancient machine. It's just getting to play that's annoying.

    1. Steam already does this and it rarely helps due to how every card + driver revision requires its own unique compilation. I think Steam's is opt-in though and I doubt Microsoft will give you a choice, so maybe they'll have more luck due to the sheer amount of data they'll be able to harvest. Ugh.
    2. I still genuinely hope it works out. I've been playing Enshrouded lately, and on my machine it takes forty minutes to compile shaders after every driver update.

  • Hence the idiom "canary in a coal mine" for early detection of a failure. Miners used to carry a caged bird with them to detect pockets of deadly gasses. If the canary suddenly drops dead, it's time to get the hell out.
