Half-Life 2, Portal, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2 all get upgraded with DXVK 2.0 Vulkan

Quoting: StalePopcornToo bad I can't hold my breath on an update for Portal Stories: Mel (what a brain buster for me, but the micro stuttering is such an immersion breaker)—good news nonetheless!
I was fighting a level (original/hard mode) for days! And then the incredible feeling when you finally get it...! It's the Steam achievement I'm most proud of.

This might be the most expensive and over the top Steam Deck bag I've seen yet

Quoting: jordicomaI prefer the "Gaming on linux" way
it's cheaper.
I'm sure we will find other ways/cases cheaper that will fit.
While i don't look so cool carrying it, I'm rather using the original case. :-)

prime-run "steam -newbigpicture"
No, also doesn't do anything. From what I heard, this doesn't work on nvidia cards and that is the reason.
Yeah, I get the start up sound and a box that is transparent. Granted, I also run at 3840x1200. I could guess it doesn't much like that.
But that's what the current version does for most Nvidia setups. I don't think it has anything to do with prime.

Valve update desktop Steam Stable Client with the New Big Picture Mode option
18 Nov 2022 at 2:00 pm UTC

Quoting: PhlebiacSomehow I got it stuck in the busted mode; in other words, starting Steam acts like I started with -gamepadui and it launches into the broken mode, and all I know to do is press Alt+F4 to close it. Anyone know how to get it back to desktop mode?
I can only say that I started it once with the parameter, got the bug, and next start was fine. I guess you didn't edit a starting script or something? Maybe you can grep through the Steam folder for something like "gamepadui"?

Thousands of years later, The Bible has arrived on Steam

Quoting: CFWhitmanNowhere do I see any mention of which translation of the Bible this is. It's obviously not one of the common older translations. It seems like they could at least mention what translation it was.
NKJV, some reviews say.

A review says...

Duplication glitch for infinite wine and fish still not patched. Took 3 days to respawn when i died.

I'll wait for His next work.

Quoting: Guestare you paid denuvo shill... in simple words... Is it understandable?
I don't like your tone.
I don't like when I can't play a game I paid for.
This is the part I totally understand.

I would also ask about Deus Ex Mankind Divided though. It shouldn't have Denuvo on Linux...

SteamOS 3.4 rolls out in Preview for the Steam Deck - it's a massive upgrade

Quoting: EikeHow do you press the mouse button on desktop mode with SD's own controls? I only know pressing the touchpad, which always makes the cursor move, especially with double clicks..
I changed mine so that clicks are on the triggers, and the left trackpad is scroll wheel. Controller setup in Steam in desktop mode is how you change it to whatever you want.
Ah, so I just change it like for a game? Thanks, will find my way around! What a bad default, though...
