Started playing Dirt Rally 2 and I am terrible. Just awful. It would be fun to get in with a group of similar (lack of) skill but the game doesn't seem set up for that. Certainly with the game being out this long.
It's going to take awhile before I can justify a racing wheel, too, so I'll just get used to coming in 20th with the controller
Any #Fedora users who have experienced this?
I’ve been using regular Workstation with #Gnome, but lately have become #Sway curious.
On my gaming computer, I’ve successfully improved game performance by increasing screen refresh rate, allowing screen tearing, and I have emulated #caffeine behavior by using inhibit_idle for fullscreen windows.
My next issue is that some games - for example #DirtRally2 - have occasional bouts of distorted/crackling sound in #SwayWM but not in Gnome.
Are there any obvious things to look for? My personal hypothesis is that sound buffers may be too small in some situations where CPU usage increases, but that’s just a wild guess.
After practicing today's Group-B 4WD daily challenge, I was able to get a Time Trial time that would have gotten me into the top 25% of the leaderboard.
And that's with just an hour of practice while I am melting on my couch and having only limited time.
Practicing Quattro driving on the same location of a daily challenge before trying should make it possible for me to get into the top quarter against other players.
It feels achievable.
Back when I first started playing #DirtRally2, I couldn't even drive a rear wheel drive car in a straight line at moderate speeds. Always just spinning endlessly in place or into walls or ditches.
Now I actually get all my best results against other players in RWD. I still suffer with them, but everyone else seems to suffer even more. 😆
Taking the Porsche out again in #DirtRally2 for the first time in a year, and immediately thinking "Wow, this thing is awful! It's super swervey and floaty, and keeps almost spinning out. I have to drive this thing more like a rear wheel drive car."
I ended up checking if I can tune it to have more power in the front wheels than the rear wheels, and it turns out to be RWD only the whole time.
Considering that, I was actually driving really good. Made it to the top 50% in a weekly event. 😆 👍
Logging back into Dirt Rally 2 after over a year, and first thing it logs the rewards from the outstanding daily, weekly, and monthly challenges I did all at once.
Money account immediately multiplies by 12 times. 😄
EA Sports - It won't be a game anymore
Bleh, looks like if I want to share #simracing #dirtrally2 with you I still need to use OBS
what a pain in the ass
maybe this should be the motivation required to install RBR properly
