Remember that whole media firestorm a few years ago that china had this massive camera network that could track everyones movements in the country. Flock is basically that, they are a private US company that is putting up cameras all over USA territory to "track speeding cars". That is their excuse, if i remember correctly. In reality these cameras can be used to track a whole bunch of things like your movements, where you live, what you do day to day, who your friends are, etc... Now flock says they strictly control who gets to access their database, but on the flip side there have been numerous reports of police officers tracking ex wives, finding pretty girls to pull over, and more. There are reports of ICE using them, even though legally they definitely do not have access to the service. Plus flock has been extremely aggressive of critics of them, for example a few days ago there was a journalist who started doing some research into flock and 2 days later there was a camera pointing at his front door. They have been non stop threatening the creator of deflock.com that is a website that just tracks placed the flock cameras. And their security is extremely poor, like MULTIPLE potential databreaches in about 2 years and the ceo has pretty much said "ye dont care", kind of poor. Just imagine some of the massive damage this can cause with something like scams, they now know where you live, know what car you drive, you license plate, etc... its a dream come true for the identity theft people because they can pretty much just ask " i want to be this guy" and then open like 5 credit cards in with your name and address. In short, basically a massive camera spy network over the USA that tracks citizens, bad security and overall just really not something you'd want around

    Hi, ive spent the last day or 2 trying to get this game to work, which for most people runs out of the box. But in my case seems to be a sisyphean task. The problem im experiencing is massive frame times whilst the game is running. Ive tried most fixes ive seen online such as connecting a controller through wire, disabling nvidia reflex , disabling igpu, and finally forcing tsc as clocksource. AND YET the issue still persists. Its clearly not a nvidia driver issue since whilst in this frame lagged state it uses only 5% of dgpu resources. And i also very distinctly remember running this game on the same system a year ago, so its not impossible. I am very close to installing a ext4 driver on windows just so i can play this dammed thing but eww windows. Can someone of you very handsome people lend a hand? System specs: distro: endavour os session type: wayland CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 4800h with radeon graphics IGPU: AMD ATI RADEON VEGA DGPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 TI DGPU drivers: latest (580.105.08)

    Update: The game now works, it was litterally just compiling shaders
