Comedy gold.

From a security point of view supporting WINE would be like having a bank vault at the top of Nakatomi Tower then installing a doggy door in it.

Vanguard will not be required for Mac.

Bunch of clowns over at Riot. At least Dota runs on Linux, unlike CS2.

Really seems like Valve should have been testing on Linux. There's no reason the issues I've encountered couldn't be resolved before launch.

"-sdlaudiodriver pipewire" launch option fixed audio for me. Would really love it if the game launched on my primary display. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix that, I'm all ears. I'm using XFCE/Xfwm4.

I normally prefer to have the number pad, but this will suit me nicely on my second desk which is considerably smaller. Ordered.

Quoting: ElectricPrismIt's more probable that anti-cheat is intended to be malware to spy on people -- after all -- WHY NOT only run it when connecting to gaming servers -- why does it need to be running the whole time a game is open?

General laziness. Hanlon's razor might apply here.

I think this is also helped by the fact that young people are using desktops much less generally.

To add to the great points already made in this thread, it's also important from a preservation standpoint to be concerned with improving the quality of emulation while the console being emulated is still in the mainstream. The current gen emulators tend to benefit from rapid development, so it's a good thing for the sake of the project to take advantage of that while the hardware is still being sold. The alternative is protecting poor Nintendo from the boogieman that is software piracy and hoping that people still care about emulating the Switch after it's EOL.

This was a good opportunity for CS to turn things around for Linux gamers. CS:GO's deck compatibility is still only "playable." Which is sad considering it's Valve's own title and it continues to be one of their most popular. In late 2021, Valve demonstrated that they don't test their Linux builds [External Link]. In 2020, they rolled out a new gamemode that to this day only consistently works on Windows [External Link]. That's right, this issue has had two birthdays!

Excluding Linux players hurts. It suggests that nothing has changed internally. It also means that I won't be able to join my friends when they all get invites. But it is just early testing, so perhaps things could still be different.

Quoting: mr-victoryProton? Or Steam inside wine? Anyone?

I'll certainly try Proton. If/when I get enrolled I can report my findings.

Yeah Manjaro is going to be the very last rolling distro to provide this lol

I've been stuck using software mouse on my 7900XTX rig so fingers crossed this will allow me to re-enable hardware accelerated mouse :unsure:

The game launches for me, but I can't get any of my controllers to work with it. My Switch controller worked on the main menu and promptly stopped being useful after that.

I played deathmatch on all the maps I normally play and now I almost never stutter. Anyone know where the shader cache is stored? Multiple accounts on shared PC means re-caching all the shaders from scratch :sad:
