*Permanently Deleted*

Reply in thread

It's literally impossible. I've seen programs ask three times to confirm a deletion, with big warnings, really emphasized. Saying it's permanent all three times.

Then the fuckers contacted us at tech support and go all like "hurr durr I just deleted my project can I have it back".

NO YOU LITTLE DIPSHIT YOU CANNOT. We did have backups though, most of the time (if it was recent) but it took well over a couple hours to properly restore, so we only did it if they asked nicely and behaved.

TL;DR People are stupid, no such thing as dump proofing. What needs to be done is hold people to higher standards and force to educate themselves or GTFO.

In Linux it is pretty much mandatory, it asks for NVIDIA 536 drivers, max on linux is 535... skip the launcher, and suddenly my drivers are okay (and tbf, aside from my card not being extra good, and a couple texture bleed in portraits and some weird texture loading issues (like, some times faces look like they were hyper pimpled, for a lil while, then looks normal) it plays amazingly
