Evotech , in What are some old or new Steam alternatives to StarCraft 1 & 2?

Battle Aces has been pretty fun. It’s in beta now

Made by ec SC2 devs. David Kim etc. Has been widely adopted by the pro SC2 scene

There’s no base building, no build times for units, no build orders essentially. It’s SC2 in essence, but boiled down to the essentials.

Spacehooks , in What are some old or new Steam alternatives to StarCraft 1 & 2?

Just off the top of my head for pve.

Always like supcom for multi-player problem is it slows down hard mid game.

Generals Shockwave mod is perfect but keeps dropping games.

Deserts of kharak is great but the AI is too easy once you understand the game and it had no mod support.

PhobosAnomaly , in mr president had a small spike in players after the incident

Reminds me of the classic JFK Reloaded. Decent for it’s time.

SkyezOpen , in What are some old or new Steam alternatives to StarCraft 1 & 2?

Rimworld plays like a very very very slow rts lol.

Yorick , in What are some old or new Steam alternatives to StarCraft 1 & 2?

I still enjoy a game of Planetary Annihilation every other time, might not float your boat if you’re looking for a much more classic RTS. But smashing moons to the enemy’s base has never felt so awesome.

Thanks for the heads-up ! Straight to the backlog !

As far as RTS in general goes (C&C Generals), I really enjoy Age of Empires IV. There is argueably more diversity as there are more civs (15ish) than there are in Star Craft. And each civ has several viable builds.

Nice! This is probably fantastic on Steam Deck!

Thanks, would’ve missed it. Gonna try that on deck

cory_lowry , in Anyone else tested the new recording feature?
@cory_lowry@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it works well and haven’t noticed any type of performance impact.

how much space did it take up?

Depends on what you configure it to. You can select the recording bitrate, and the amount of time it records for in minutes. I have selected 24mb/s (highest available currently) for 240 mins, and it says it’ll take up a maximum of roughly 40-45 gigs.

@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

that’s not so bad

cory_lowry ,
@cory_lowry@lemmy.world avatar

If you leave it set to the settings in the screenshot, the max it’ll take up is 10.8GB

scottmeme , in Anyone else tested the new recording feature?

I need to set it up when I’m back at my PC, and just let it eat, I’m down to give it like 500gb and see how much it keeps

You select a time period in minutes as input. It’ll spit out how much storage it’ll take up based on that + the selected quality (bitrate). I have selected 240 minutes and 24mb/s (highest available bitrate at this time), and the estimate it gave me was 40-45 ish gigs.

Edit: based on the OP screenshot, 60 min at 24mbs takes up 10.8gb:

60/10.8*500/60 ≈ 46.3 hours, nearly 2 days @ 500gb max storage.

youRFate , in Anyone else tested the new recording feature?

I use NVIDIA shadowplay for that.

PrimeErective ,

On the steam deck? =P

Chronographs ,

This isn’t the steam deck community and the feature isn’t exclusive to steam decks

PrimeErective ,

I know. I was just making a joke about how he pulled a “bean soup”

Fubarberry , in Anyone else tested the new recording feature?
@Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yeah, seems to work pretty well on my Steam Deck. It’s probably using more power, but it’s a small enough increase that I couldn’t confirm increased power draw without exporting mangohud values and averaging them.

I dropped the recorded length to 30min (mainly just want time to grab a noteworthy clip if something funny happens).

KickMeElmo ,

I measured using Iconoclasts (low power game) and using default settings it took about 1.4W. Pretty minimal drain honestly.

Bookmeat , in Anyone else tested the new recording feature?

It seems lacking in features on Linux. I figured out how to record (always on in background), but the other tools either don’t seem to work or aren’t documented. e.g. reviewing clips, any sort of interface, the shortcut keys didn’t work for me, etc.

Dune 2000 I think it was called. Late 90s IIRC.
