People seem not to know but this comes from a major underlying engine upgrade from diesel done by a hired group of maintainer modders group. This included file size reduction, DX12 (4gb limit ram is gone, mods can finally get better) and more.

Native Linux wasn’t available for the last heists anyway. Proton is good enough to be better than how diesel ran on Linux natively why allowing for the modders to focus on improving the engine to the best of their abilities.

The game engine diesel was a dead end engine that the game is stuck with as it’s jank is too core for the game, like stingray in this regard, it’s basically only used by fat shark and one other developer.

It’s a shame native support was dropped but It was worse than proton by a longshot and with it being dedicated the modders can focus on improving the engine to make a better experience for both

I’m a fan of calling it the torment nexus. You know from the direct inspiration “don’t build the torment nexus”

That number is extremely misleading. That’s the total investment in reality labs division in meta since becoming meta. So all of oculus, the AR/XR research and developments that they’ve done and more. It’s not super fair (I dislike meta, just to be clear) to phrase that number in a way that sounds like all of that money went to horizon worlds (the app they said was shutting down but instead is being continued just primarily as mobile only and now with vr grandfathered in) as that was one of the smallest things reality labs were doing. Reality labs are still around and doing a lot with that previous investment technology for AR/XR glasses.

That’s the long and short of that figure. Hope this helps : )
