Whatever happened to the statistics on this website? Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to find the option anymore... Ditto for the forums.

Isn't the Deck GPU way too weak to render at this high resolution though?

Please make petition so some EA games work with proton wine,BattlEye,Easy Anti Cheat is good, i want to get into apex legends
I bought ea wrc sports but i get error with ge proton 18

Unfortunately the game wasn't officially supported so they have argument on their side.
EA don't listen to players or anybody, petition won't work here.
IMHO kernel level anticheats should be banned and it would help in fixing compatibility. This AC is not about cheaters, they wanted to save microtransactions and disable modding. They could give another server for steamdeck players/Linux, but what for? It's better to block.

This looks very interesting. For the small
amount being asked for the game, i couldn't help but hit the buy button. This should make for a nice ‘couch’ game.

@eggrole

I DO want a competitive market, this is why I use itch.io, gamejolt, and GOG as well as steam. I want that competition to succeed, not Epic, with the rare exception of Epic clapping Apple's ass in court which I am 100% in approval of in a very "Enemy of my enemy" fashion.

But those other places have things that actually benefit me as an end user, instead of holding games at gunpoint and going "Use our badly made store with no linux support outside of a 3rd party launcher like Heroic or you don't get to play this" while itch and gamejolt host fangames, experimental projects, and mods, and GOG has DRM free games to entice me. Epic just has a whiny CEO pretending (outside of the victory against apple, that was pretty cool of them) to be hero of the industry and Fortnite which I'm too old to be the target audience of.

But speaking of demographics, You know what I am the target audience of? Unreal Tournament. And they did not treat the franchise their engine's namesake comes from with any level of dignity since UE4 got cancelled and they delisted the entire franchise, so there's that chip on my shoulder about Epic too.

Contrary to what Tim Sweeney has directly said, Consumers decide the store wars, not publishers.

@dziadulewicz - "EPIG. Never have, never will support this scum. Even if Epig started to support Linux; too little too late. Tim Sweeney? Nothing but pants"

I don't think you have to Worry, I don't think Tim Sweeney knows how to dismount a tiger.

It actually makes it really nice, because you know upfront the whole store is going to be a huge fail for consumers, and therefore don't need to waste money feeding the tiger before it's meal time.

pity because they had experience and gave us a lot of good racing games. But it's bought by EA, so they kill them because numbers are not too big. EA Sports WRC won't get any new updates, but they should remove that shitty anti-cheat and leave that game alone.

I might wishlist this, sounds like fun. But I suspect one reason it's being overlooked is the graphics are more rudimentary than Pong.

It's kind of the way laptop computers tend to cost more than desktops even though they have dinky screens and lousy little keyboards and not much power under the hood.

@numasan

You are paying for the convenience in having a portable monitor that fits in a bag. Probably worth it for people in the market for this.

That's a heck of a markup for convenience.

"Announced in a blog post on May 1st, Epic will take a 0% store fee for the first $1 million revenue developers make per app per year."

In other words, Valve is still winning.

Valve might also be looking for talent to hire with this. Which would be both cool and smart.

@brokkr

I have looked at the product site and I'm unable to figure out if the latter can provide power to the Steam Deck (or PD-capable laptop). Am I missing something or is unclear from the info available?

There's this:

One type-c cable can realize various USB C equipment connection, can transmit signal and charge at the same time.

So, you can charge devices from the usb-c port, but I can't find any power output specs even in the manual. Should be enough for a mobile device, possibly the deck, but I don't know if it can provide enough power for a laptop.

Streets of Rage 4 has a native Linux port, so wonder why they chose that as an example? I have the game but can't remember the load times.

What the Wine devs are after are test cases that indicate an issue with Wine's implementation. Fixing the implementation, while a good goal in itself, will likely also help many other applications. It doesn't matter what the test case application actually is, as long as it shows some repeatable thing to test against.

So two USB-C. One for power, one for input. I have looked at the product site and I'm unable to figure out if the latter can provide power to the Steam Deck (or PD-capable laptop). Am I missing something or is unclear from the info available?

If not and I occasionally have to unplug everything to get power to the Deck (or use some weird dongle arrangement) it looses a lot of it's appeal.

also the patch similar to this one was in Proton for years and is not known to introduce problems (before UFFD support was added in kernel 6.7 there was similar mechanism introduced with a custom patch in SteamOS and some custom kernels which Proton was using).

From how I'm reading the commit message, similar functionality seems to already exist in Proton.

This sounds really awesome. I hope Proton backports this patch, because Once Human suffers sometimes from extreme loading on Proton and they use .NET too. However, this game has a lot of other issues too.

Almost forget something more related paul gofman patch:

UFFD supports the functionality similar to Windows write watches starting from kernel 6.7.

I think that most people are waiting for Bethesda games to be supported, but honestly, I'm just happy that Linux finally gets an official mod manager for once that hasn't stopped development out of nowhere. Outside of NSFW content, I'm not sure what kind of mods Cyberpunk 2077 players recommend, but I'm glad that another game is being supported.

Good to see that Valve are at least letting the community update TF2. Honestly, how they've treated this game is disgusting, but I'm hoping that the SDK will breathe new life into it.

Interesting not to see fedora on there ... this is apparently what comes from protondb:

https://boilingsteam.com/linux-distros-in-march-2025-a-new-challenger-emerges/

which is mostly similar, but with the notable difference of fedora?

speaking of this site, i was reading the article :
https://boilingsteam.com/the-steam-deck-is-back-in-stock-in-japan/

and the end of the article:

These are machines you are supposed to play with, but the level of incompetence of the staff is abysmal. The ROG Ally X had no games that you could run - it was basically a useless brick in demonstration. The Steam Deck had at least several games playable, but it was turned off (or in sleep mode) and did not react until you pressed the power button. I doubt that most visitors would know how to operate it if it was their first time.

looks like valve and the other companies need to step up their game, puting an product at an store is not enough, sure many people know what windows is and what it does, but they cant know how powerfull an device gonna be to play an game with an good performance just looking at specs and the desktop enviroment that is awful to navigate on this device.

and steam deck being in sleep mode, sigh.

Nice. Most of these fixes seem fairly minor*, but I bet this is a pilot for Valve incorporating community fixes going forward. And even a bunch of small fixes are great! Can't wait to see where this goes.

*With 'seem' and 'fairly' doing some heavy lifting there, and not to disparage anyone's effort in making them.

The survey doesn't only come up in desktop mode.

Really? I have been running Steam primarily in Big Picture mode for something like 7 years now, and I have only ever seen the survey pop-up when I switched to desktop mode.

I have no interest in buying from EGS, but if they are eliminating the six month exclusivity deals, I'm definitely in favor of that. I'm also in favor of their lawsuit against Apple, and glad it's been getting results.
