Real players just slide under all their belts.

Honestly, if you're not able to see through the issues and understand the underlying vision at this time then take a break. Everyone who has put any money into it has seen something in there, but the state of the game wanes and waxes, just wait longer if this is still not the patch for you.

I don't know if server meshing will be the magical fix, but personally I play this game maybe 6 weeks a year for a whole stint, but enough bugs that I need to take a break, and then finally jump back in when I'm ready.

It's not healthy to allow yourself to death spiral in frustration, just don't think about it for a good while, and then check in where it's at then.

The game is in active development, and I can tell you as both a regular software developer, and a games developer - games are a completely different beast, and generally come together at the very last moment even on the best projects.

Cheating is definitely a problem in SF6, but it's a lot less of a challenge dealing with it due to match duration. You generally move on to different opponents fast enough, unless of course you're at the highest ranks.

Still agree that kernel level anti-cheat does nothing here, and I also won't be buying it due to that reason.

Honestly this is the best most performant patch they have released, and I'm genuinely excited about every feature here (yes I love master modes too).

There's obviously still bugs, and server performance still hits you like a truck, but I didn't expect any changes on that this patch.

Can't wait for 4.0 and hopefully the smoothness to be common rather than just for the first 15 mins of a fresh server (before everyone spreads out).

Introversion still exists and wasn't sold, they're making a somewhat similar game now - The Last Starship.

With newer versions of Steam, it's just handled automatically as long as you enable it, you can download from other players on the network. True not all games are on steam, and this probably works well for massive LAN setups, but I tried and failed to set this up, it's a bit of a pain and personally found it not worth the effort.

You can trust the person, without trusting their technical skills, such that they haven't inadvertently installed malware on their own devices.

TLDR: Trojan can only be installed with an MDM setup, you should never enroll in random MDM profiles anyways. They started by using it in a TestFlight app, but Apple has since kicked them off.

Is it still a scam if everyone gets their money back?

This just feels more like incompetence rather than malice.

Believe it or not, but the Switch has a touch screen.

What is Fortnite OG? A rerelease of the original mode or something?

Oh nice Outer Worlds and Temtem for those who TLDW. Decent combo of games that I've wanted to check out but not enough to buy.
