At least that install size is light, right?

        A country which doesn’t invest in its infrastructure while it’s wealthy will eventually find itself no longer wealthy and unable to afford to fix it.

    You joke about the install size, I’m more annoyed at the constant 1-2hr updates preventing me from playing when I have 20 free minutes.

      For me, the 20 free minutes would be spent setting everything up for this stupid hobby of mine anyway lmfao

      I think they have improved the update system for this one. Install size is also much smaller.

        Likely both of those could be much much smaller for 2024 because it’s just streaming the data so the updates and installation size are smaller since it’s all coming in real time while playing instead of having to be installed before playing.

        Well yeah, but has anyone tried it? If not, I’ll go and see if I can, because VR flight sims are the only thing keeping Windows in my house.

          Can only speculate. 2020 version worked with Proton layer, but 2024 version only supports DX12, so it might be a bust.

            I thought Proton supports D3D12? There are all sorts of games using this API that run just fine on Linux.

              It can work, but it adds a mountain of issues that weren’t present on DX11, so it’s a lot more situation.
