Spider-Man Remastered update out, has a couple Steam Deck fixes

Quoting: clatterfordslim
Quoting: scaineThat's not the case for me. My 2Tb NVME is mounted in /mnt/scaine and I symlink it with ~/Games.
I was always under the impression that they had to be on the same drive as OS, as tried to have separated drive formatted to NTFS and then Steam kept on showing read errors, saying it cannot read the drive. What is the recommended Format for Proton games being on separate drive?
Any format well supported by Linux, totally not NTFS. Ext4 if you're unsure.

I would have overlooked this bundle if the commenters wouldn't have mentioned the Lego games. Bought all of it, mainly for the little ones. They're playing Lego the Movie - The Game (What a title!?!) now as their first action game and are having lots of fun. This is a case where it's nice to have twins. ;)

Quoting: WorMzyApparently I haven't played Shadow of Mordor since 2018, but I remember it being pretty good fun. Maybe I'll give it another go at some point, assuming the native Linux version still works -- it'd be good to see how the game ends.
TBH, I remember the game as being very good - but the ending not so much. I liked the feeling of a world where things happen all the time, not just around you to please you, and of course the nemesis system or how they called it. Enemies remembering you.

Quoting: Beamboomthought this game didn't run well on desktop Linux? Has that changed?
It runs beautifully. You will notice some frame drops to begin with, but once you buy some web swing skills with XP points, the frame rates go up and up.
Like you're buying fps? :-D

(I hereby claim this indie game idea! :-P )

Quoting: KuduzkehpanJust for clear the things, Spider-man remastered is not great. Steamplay proton wine cedega transgaming are great.
Or i will just ask is it native app for linux ? if no how non native app could be great for a linux user.
Many "native" Linux games use derivatives of Wine
Erm, no, I don't think so. (Obviously, compile time translation layers are not even near to WINE, and much less derivatives).

Quoting: EikeWoohoo!
Placed my reservation at March, 2nd, after having read all those good things about it. (Stupid me!)
every time I read about more devices produced and people getting up in the queue I look it up again.
This time, I moved forward, Q3 as well!
... and there it is, my invitation. :D

Quoting: TheodisSweet I was moved to Q3. I'm hoping it gets shipped before I have my trip in October.
Woohoo!

Games publisher PQube accused of 'predatory practices' and being manipulative (updated)

Quoting: Cmdr_IrasYou could fitlter out the 'Meta' tag in your account profile it will then hide all these from the news feed you unless you specifically look at 'All'
I wouldn't really advise that, unless you only ever want news on specific individual games, as Meta covers everything not about a game directly.
Maybe it needs another tag? "Industry News" or something, fro non-Linux related stuff that's still interesting to many people here?

NVIDIA Vulkan Beta Driver 515.49.14 out now

I'm also happy with my Nvidia and probably would buy one again.

Quoting: ShabbyXInternally (to the Vulkan workgroup), I can also attest that Nvidia is always on top of things, more so than any other vendor I'd say.
You've got internal insights there?

Steam Deck production better than expected, Q4 emails already going out

Quoting: Philadelphus
Quoting: MasterSleortEvery time they "ramp up production" and are able to deliver more fast to customers, I fear that it is because too many people have cancelled their order.
I personally don't see a problem with that? All it does it change who gets Decks, not how many are produced. Valve know they have a winner on their hands, they're not going to suddenly stop production even it a bunch of people cancel their reservations (which be for all kinds of reasons). And if anything, it ensures Decks are getting into the hands of people who really want them and are likely to be more favorable and spread glowing reviews about them to their friends rather than people who were on the fence. :grin:
The problem would be that the "automatically sold out" time would end earlier.
We want huge demand, not people cancelling their orders en masse.
