FYI, when you start in the Neowin house do not drop down to see the nurse or merchants unless you want to quit the server and enter again. It seems that you can't quite jump back upstairs.

Aside from that though, I'm getting involved. Just started to construct a house for myself, and I've got quite a mine running underneath it. :D

EDIT: An overview of the area at the moment:

I'm not finding many resources at the second, but meh.

Thanks Frank. Logged in as password updated

The first player I saw yesterday!

So here's an update on my progress. I took Draconian Guppy's advice and kept going down:

If you look over to the right you can see a cavern that I fell in to, filled with water. Thankfully just before my air ran out I was able to carve a hole through to another section of my tunnel. The downside of that is that now one of my tunnels is completely flooded. :( Thank goodness I have multiple routes available!

I'm glad I'm coming across more caverns, though. Not only does it make progress easier, but it's fascinating to come across them and see where they go.

I might have a slight addiction to this game already...

See that red X down towards the bottom? Watch your footing around there. I just slipped and fell in to a cavern filled with bats and a medusa. Now I've got to get back there to get my coins. :s

Also, the tunnel that goes the furthest to the left is as far as you can get for the second. I've got a platinum pickaxe, but you need at least a Nightmare or Deathbringer pickaxe (I think) to get through the hellstone. Then again, if I'm getting beaten by bats and medusas, maybe I shouldn't attempt that just yet. :p

It's a pity there aren't more of us online at the same time - or at all - but I'm still having a blast! :D

no one looked for the floating islands yet?

Not yet. I know I could try looking using wooden platforms, but that seems inefficient. :p

Oh, I think my game updated while I was away. I can contact the server but I can't connect. :( "Your version isn't the same as the server" or some such.

I guess that's a 2 week hiatus for me then, I don't want to do singleplayer and get awesome then go back to wherever I am on the Neowin server. :p

Try again - I've updated the server. It should work now.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the commands aren't working? I tried "/login intrinsica <password>" but it just displayed it as text. Then I tried "/help", same thing. The only other command I tried was "/playing", and that seemed to work.

I have no idea to be honest. Nor do I have the ability to play the game at the moment, since I don't have a Windows machine at hand and there is no OS X client for the game yet.

I could join maybe. But i don't know the game much. I don't play that often either.

 

How does it work in multiplayer. If it's competitive and the other players can kill you then it's not for me.

 

Do i need to create a new toon for the multi?

PvP is turned off by default. You can turn it on and select a team to be on if you want, but you don't have to.

I don't think you need to create a new character. Lousifer logged in and his character seemed quite leveled up, and I think I took my character from the Neowin server and used it in Singleplayer - this can be useful if you need to find a specific item, as you can try finding the item in multiple worlds.

Just lost connection to the server, but I'm going to try again.

Two things:

 

1. the server going down just now was my fault. It's up again.

Ah, ok. (Y)

2. whatever they changed in 1.3.0.6 doesn't let me add players anymore...

I think this is related to what I said earlier about not needing to be logged in in order to change the world. I've also seen that the enemies have gained supernatural powers. They spawn, disappear at random, can still attack you while you can't see/attack them...

I would suggest we avoid playing on it for the moment. :(

      Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
