Besides the usual games I love (EVE, 7Days, Elite, The Front until they broke it), I reinstalled and re-fell in love with an ancient masterpiece.
Unreal Tournament 2004 + ECE, native, fully working in 4K is absolutely perfect. Almost 20 years later, it's still pure bliss to play.
But it only deepened my love/hate relationship with Epic. The makers of the greatest 3D engine ever, yet an awful company for everything else.
Oh, and icculus/Ryan is godlike, like the bots I got all my trophies against.

Quoting: EhvisAny notable remaining issues that weren't there in 525?Elite: Dangerous/Odyssey U16 still has massive graphic corruption and all kind of startup issues w/Proton Experimental. None of them were in 525 on my 1080Ti. I'm testing some envvars/startup tricks if I can find a way to play without reverting to nv525, but no luck so far.

Why Valve keeps on hating us Linux players with 4K+ displays?
Why?
I know, there's a workaround and I'm happily (*) using it. But it's a workaround. I don't want workarounds, I want the XXI Century to knock on someone's door and introduce itself to devs.

(*) - for a very, non-overlay definition of happy.

The worst part about patents is that by now, the Patents Office makes zero effort to *actually* grant valid patents, leaving the courts (aka lawyers, aka the deepest pockets win) to attribute valid and legitimate ones and troll ones.
So, a sub-strate of filthy scumbags (patent lawyers) thrives on the apathy of the aforementioned office, sucking dry innovative, but resource-strapped entities and encourage the creation of patent trolling companies.
The few, real, tangible benefits of granting commercial exclusivity to ingenous people and companies is FAR outshadowed by this disgusting by-product.

He doesn't care that the multiplayer games he sells can work seamlessly across the Windows/Linux boundary. See Fortnite for the prime example.

Quoting: Liam DaweSweeney only cares about multi-store crossplay. He hates to see that SteamID is the de-facto identity in multiplayer games. It's clear he wants a share of that cake, and dreams of EOS to be the auth/id of choice for multiplayer games.Quoting: syylk...I’m not entirely sure what exactly you’re getting at here? EOS has full Linux support. It’s entirely separate to the Epic Store, which yes does not support Linux.

My thoughts?
Liam, please be careful about what EG means as multi-platform crossplay and what you think it should mean.
Because I see that for Sweeney & Co. the term "platform" defines the content delivery environment (EGS, Steam, GOG, Windows Store, individual launchers, etc.) used to purchase/get titles from and identify the owner in multiplayers, and how the middleware tied with that specific environment plays nice with other authentication/identification methods or launchers. Basically, who "owns" the login credentials.
While for you the term "platform" means Windows, MacOS, Linux-based OS'es, consoles, etc. so if I'm on Ubuntu while my buddy uses Win11 we can still play together (your example of Borderlands 2 having different, incompatible versions for Lin and Win).
The way "crossplay" is interpreted and intended varies a lot between the two meanings. In particular, Epic Games never ever cared adding Linux in the crossplay pool as much as cares about grafting Steam market share by fair or foul means.
