In my case I don't think it's salvageable either cause it would look like crap to try and cover the missing land area with floor tiles. Some or all of their bases losing the terrain that used to exist beneath the structures. Horker Island no longer has any land under the main portion of the base, and apparently this is a very widely reported problem with a lot of people who had similar island style bases. Gabe has always hated Windows and this might just be where he draws the line.įinally got around to playing again after the last round of updates. Yeah, I know, I've made mention of that for 2 decades now but at some point it has to come true. With Proton gaining traction and Valve reinvesting time and effort into development on SteamOS (even if it is directed at their SteamDeck for now) switching over to linux might actually work for gaming. I suspect my habit of ignoring the updates screen for weeks at a time does indeed have a limit and I probably exceeded itĪs far as what to do about Microsoft's monopoly - the answer is staring us all in the face in the form of Linux.
Unlike you, mine booted me in the middle of doing something this time around and that's when it came back with the notice that the system is able to update to Windows 11. Except when the rug it pulls out from under me was pulled by an unannounced reboot.
Well surprisingly Windows 10 hasn't been that huge a hassle and hasn't hung me out to dry like everyone said it would, but that doesn't mean I like it. This update will be no more and no less inconvenient for those of us who don't rely on SKSE than any other. There is no good reason to cause a panic and get everyone into a frenzy about permanently backing up outdated executeables and trying to hamstring Steam (which is folly at best - it will update you whether you want it or not eventually). So what? That leaves us with 95% of the rest of the community that won't be affected by this.
Yes, mods which use SKSE based DLLs are going to be impacted and may not be updated. What doesn't make any sense is for everyone to sit around professing the doom & gloom and end of modding as we know it that that reddit post is stirring up. It's entirely possible they've cooked up a way to do those in the future without having to recompile the program every time. After this I'd only expect to see CC content updates. I would assume that this is basically the last major thing that's going to happen for Skyrim, and since it's the 10th anniversary that makes it a good time to tie everything up nice and neat. It's a truth nobody ever likes to hear, but it IS the truth. We aren't the massive influence reddit likes to make us out to be by any stretch.
Round up for the hell of it and you have 20% of the installed PC user base who has USED a mod, and it's a much smaller percentage than that of PC users who have MADE a mod. If you take into account the fact that they didn't include Nexus stats, you can conservatively double that.
The bulk of PC users who did the same without ever using a single mod did the same thing as well.īGS once released a statistic that showed a mere 8% of PC users had ever used even one mod. People playing Skyrim years later on their 360s and PS3s are what kept the game relevant. Console users were playing Skryim, Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Morrowind on their units for years with no prospect of ever seeing a single mod, and they (whether we like it or not) are the vast majority of the market. It's absolutely true that these mods the reddit post is referring to make up a small minority of what's available, and two whole platforms will never be exposed to at all.Īlso we as modders cannot take credit for these games remaining relevant all this time. Many of them made by the most prominent mod authors in the community. There are literally tens of thousands of mods out there that don't needed it. This constant need of people to attack them for doing things that ultimately benefit us as a modding community NEEDS to stop. If Bethesda were that type of company they'd have dumped Skyrim on the market 10 years ago and ignored it after that - but they haven't. There is NOTHING anti-consumer about any of this. It's breaking a relatively small number of them that people can absolutely play the game without. The problem with this logic is that it isn't breaking "a lot" of mods.
