Steam Summer Sale 2019 is live, here’s what to look out for Linux fans

Can't believe I saw the Two Point Hospital: Healthy Collection bundle for 70% off. The second it lands on my cart the discount drops to 51% and it's stayed there since. :><:

Say what? :woot:

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo according to the trailer, very little happens at universities except sports. Very American.
Indeed. This whole announcement feels quite odd, especially coming from a Finnish developer and a Swedish publisher. I guess they're just catering to their typical user.

Quoting: serge418.56 was a stable release, 418.52.05 is a beta release based on an older branch.
Wait, so what does that make version 430? Super stable? :P

Quoting: Wernerthis is not a regression of proton, it is a regression made by Project Cars 2, it works if you use a older version of PC2 which i agree is not a great solution.
Thanks for sharing, I am already following that discussion and running the outdated version so I can get some FFB (it's pretty weak, but I've read this is a characteristic of the game itself).

Anyway, if the problem is on the game dev side, should we ever expect it to be fixed? I mean, with Slightly Mad Studios even planning their own console, I imagine fixing bugs in an unsupported OS is the last thing in their mind.

I am waiting for a fix to a regression regarding force feedback on Project Cars 2. Are there any specific keywords I should be looking for in future Proton releases?

Bloody Rally Show looks like a fun 2D racer coming to Linux

racing games tend to feel quite stale once you've completely all the built-in tracks a few times.
But mastering the tracks so you can lap them as fast as possible is the whole point of racing, isn't it? :D

Google announce ‘Stadia’, their new cloud gaming service built on Linux and Vulkan

Exciting news indeed! I hope they offer individual game purchases, otherwise it's a no-deal for me. I game a lot, but I doubt a subscription service would save me any money.

Feral Interactive have put out a big update to their 'GameMode' Linux gaming performance tool

If I have a beefy setup, should I bother with GameMode? It helped heaps with my low-tier setup, but I don't know if I'd be introducing unnecessary tear to my new parts.
