I got excited until I figured that was The Callisto Protocol, I thought it was a fix for the Dead Space stuttering! :cry:

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl review - works on Linux Desktop with Proton but poorly on Steam Deck
20 Nov 2024 at 8:18 pm UTC Likes: 8

ARRRRRGH! I'm just getting into the Silent Hill 2 remake and, like many other Steam users, I've got such a backlog! That being said, this is nothing like the feeling of being a Mac user through the 90s, up unto a couple of years ago when I transitioned to Linux. I've a backlog of relatively GOOD games and don't feel that nihilistic sense of "is it coming to macOS?" or, months or years after the Windows release, finding out it was straight up canceled.

It's almost too good of a time to be a Linux gamer—thanks to Apple and Microsoft's collective anti-consumerism on different levels and thanks, in no small part, to Valve's investments in Proton. Now… what game to play later…

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing if the AMD 3D-VCACHE optimizer [External Link], due to release with 6.13, will benefit gamers [with said CPUs].

Half-Life 2 free to keep until November 18th, Episodes One & Two now included with a huge update

Weird, I had Episode 1 installed and, since it's now considered a Tool, it didn't show up in my library, I had to 'install' the base game.

Space Marine 2 fixes online for Steam Deck but may need launch option on desktop Linux
9 Oct 2024 at 4:43 am UTC

UPDATE: The launch option allows the game to connect to online servers on desktop but forced super low graphic settings by default (Deck optimization I assume). Changing my graphic options back to max worked fine.
