Today’s Game is Jedi Survivor. I keep nearly typing that as Fallen Order. Old habit I suppose from typing the name so many times while working to 100% it.

Anyways. I made my way through the Forest Array. I just want to say thank god for the fast travel in this game. Makes getting around so much easier. I do feel there’s been a sense of accomplishment lost from it, but I can fully accept that’s on me and I’m not being forced to fast travel.

The gliding that got introduced im a little mixed on. It’s a fun idea but it does feel a little like a patch for what the first game had for the level design. Not any sort of deal breaker though. It’s a fun mechanic I like. The mounts too with how it’s moving to be a little more open of an open world.

Anyways. Finally, Dagan Gera. I like him. He feels like a Sephiroth type. Won’t go into any spoilers but I had fun taking pictures of him. Technically the shadow cast by the lightsaber is impossible I think, but that’s okay. I like how it casts a shadow over his eyes. I was playing with the spotlights too while doing this so I feel like that produced some really stellar screenshots.

    I would really like to play this game, but the combination of the EA launcher and Unreal Engine with Proton means that Steam shows 3 hours played, when I actually have maybe 20 minutes in game 😮‍💨

      Ironically this is the first game I don’t have an issue with the EA Launcher. I don’t know if it’s proton GE or somehow someway EA fixed an issue (Probably proton GE) but it actually closes when I tell it too

        I must be in hell. It was 39C today and EA is giving me blue balls. I’ve tried every proton version I can think of. Which distro are you using? I’m also crashing in other games, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s a problem with Linux Mint.

          Can’t you just play it on Windows? Linux Desktop isn’t really meant for gaming.

          CachyOS. I’m using the latest version of Proton GE-10. All AMD rig with 7600 XT 16 GB and 32 GB of RAM.

          How much RAM do you have? I heard there were memory leak problems, but the way everyone talks it sounds like they aren’t an issue on Linux. I’m wondering if I was mistaken and I just have enough RAM to outlast it or something

            My setup is very similar. Ryzen 5 7600X, Radeon 6800 XT, and 32GB RAM. I’ll give catchyOS a try, and see if it helps at all.

              Switching from Bazzite to CachyOS helped my rig quite a bit from what I remember, that may just be me generalizing in my memory though. Whatever ends up happening I wish you luck and hope you’re able to fix it though!
