Quoting: Guesti always use the low bandwidth mode and the low performance mode, and also hardware acceleration disabled, those 3 options are the ones that causes most problems.
I had the freezing problems from the start and did exactly that. No further problems since then.

Everyone is getting the first three Rocket League DLC free and other news

That's good news but I hope it doesn't mean price increase or lower discounts. I wanted to buy a copy for my son, because he can't play competitive with a family-shared account (although that's arguably a good thing), but the GOTY version didn't go on sale on the last occasion. So it's for the better I guess.

Well it was pretty cheap to begin with. I actually bought it long ago, maybe it's time to play it...

Quoting: TermyLets hope they roll it out for Linux, too and not leave us out like with streaming ^^
Streaming has always worked fine on Linux. Maybe you mean broadcasting?

What I'm more interested in is: will it stay playable through steam and on Linux.

What's that? Another Steam Client Beta update? With a Linux platform filter? Yes it is

The home button will be missed. Also the "Linux filter" is useless for those who have SteamPlay enabled for all titles. I wish it could at least be configured to only show native titles.

Quoting: TheSyldatDude can you not please ...

Or more precisely , "if you wanna be taken seriously could be please take off the fuckin' tin foil hat for at the very fucking least enough time to let you type a coherent message ?"
I was just removing that part the moment you were quoting it. ;-)

That's it, I'm telling my son right now to stop dreaming of developing games. This basically legalises keyshops and now even allowing you to sell the games you're already played and finished, if it wasn't bad enough before...

Video recording and livestreaming app OBS Studio has a big new release out

How does the script work? I mean the one that pauses the recording when you run to the toilet? Does it need some external sensors?

Valve have already begun tweaking the new Steam Library Beta

I hope they add sorting by user reviews, by achievement completion, and ability to sort both ways (reverse the sort order).
That, plus OR in filters and I'll be happy. It's a really good update and I'm sure they'll improve it over time.
