And sadly, this game runs too fast on modern hardware. Back then the programmers used CPU cycles as a timing advancement technique. So like a Pentium 4’s cyclic operation kept the game playable. Try it under emulation on a modern CPU and the game is unplayably fast. Yes I tried slowing down the processor speed in Virtualbox, can’t find the sweet spot % so this game is lost in time. Like the dinos.
Oh, there’s a monkey in my pocket, And he’s stealing all my change, His stare is blank and glassy, I suspect that he’s deranged…
Tuesday’s coming, did you bring your coat?
Interested in hearing about GC employees being scammed. And I love your username. DK all the way (the old DK, none of that post Jello Biafra bullshit)
I recently beat GTAV and thought, “Finally I’ll check out Online play.” Rockstar dropped Linux BattlEye anti-cheat support AFAIK back in December. No reason given, just one day penguins were doing multiplayer, the next day not. I fear their super late PC port will share the same fate. Bummed and angry at the same time.
Oh man, I think you may have given me the clue I needed. On my second MSI X570s Max Edge WiFi board this year, because of what I believed was a UEFI/BIOS Rootkit. Strange things keep surviving complete wipes/reinstalls of my OS. Secureboot disabled/enabled, doesn’t matter. Plagued (among other annoyances) with some 10s sound clips that randomly play, network usage monitor showing I’m downloading half a TB a day, uploading a 1/4th of that, etc. ClamAV finding some Unix.Ransomware.eCh0raix process running (first install)…
Could you have solved my headache? Switch motherboard vendors altogether? Is my board affected? I built this thing less than a year ago, and money is tight. Need to stay on X570 chipset, too much invested in this AM4 build.
