Quoting: BelvarHow is Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order marked as playable when there is still the huge fps drop bug when entering the menu? Do they have a secret unreleased proton version for the steam deck?

How "huge" is it? I'd say e.g. a 10 fps menu(!) sounds playable.

Thanks Liam and James!

I truly believe that even if the amount of players that play on non-Windows systems are significantly less, it doesn't mean we shouldn't support LINUX and OSX, because those players are equal to my eyes and deserve the same amount and support.

I guess this kind of enthusiasm is what we need in our position for native versions. It's a labour of love, not mainly labour for money.

Strangeland's porting was an experiment in terms of, we had little to no time to test it out properly.

I wonder what set the time constraint here?

Thanks to James, I got a decent pile of shame of adventure games (as I'd call it) now, with so little time. :)

The issue surrounds what version they will pick for Deck Verified when games have a Native Linux build.

I'm unsure what the implications of these tests are.

Is it only the compatibility badge?
Unlikely, you would show a game as been fully compatible due to say Proton, but run a different version by default on Steam Deck?!?

Does it define the default being run on Steam Deck?
Well, I guess so.

So, most important:
Do these tests define what is run by default on a normal Linux PC?

Quoting: rustybroomhandleDoes Feral get any money if people buy it now already?

They said they get money as soon as the port is announced.

Optimal for them would be buying from their website, though. You get a Steam key there as well.
*edit* But it's not yet available there.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyIt's no big loss... Feral Interactive do horrible ports, and having a low-quality port available for Linux-based operating systems sends the wrong message to new Linux gamers.

The Feral Vulkan ports they have been making for the last couple of years are the best ever made. Proton can't match it. So that statement is pure nonsense.

Bulldust. I have a number of their games and their ports are "average" at best.

When it seems other people have better experiences with the same object, you might try to look if anything could be improved on your side. Of course, bitching around is always a possibility, too...

Quoting: basedBlack Squad unsupported? That has to be a mistake, right? I'm playing it on Linux without issues, just gotta have BattlEye thing installed from the library

SteamDeck Verified also takes into account support for the handheld and onscreen controls and is just not the exact same thing as supported by Proton or even running on Linux natively.

There's the big category "Playable [External Link]" between those two, though. At the moment, we see games not working properly (like multiplayer games with dysfunctional anti cheat) and games just way too "heavy" for Steam Deck (like VR games) in the Unsupported category.

Quoting: SpykerEthan also noted that Valve started to remove some of his games port in favour of Proton.
I wonder if this one is concerned, and why Valve would do that.
Hopefully, this is just a mistake from an automated procedure from Valve.

Nothing has been removed. Ethan's Twitter post is talking about the defaults on the Steam Deck, all of which is likely in flux until release.

Are there other defaults for Deck than for my box?

Quoting: EhvisI have 32 games that are flagged unsupported. 30 of those were either VR (most) are anti-cheat.

I neither do multiplayer (anymore) nor VR (yet). I don't expect too much red. :)

Quoting: TeodosioI see this as a confirmation that "porting", intended as a company reworking a game developed for Windows by somebody else, is a failure.

I guess it works for say 10%, but not for 1%. And not against Proton.

Quoting: TeodosioGames need to be developed in parallel for all the intended platform. Paradox interactive does this right.

And some others. Klei, Zach, ...

(I bet it's some dozens when looking close, even if you say they'd need to have at least three multi-platform games out.)

Reminds me of the Farbrausch - Debris demo

Nice!

PS: "Farbrausch" is a good example by the way that German can be a beauty, too. :heart:
It's "colour intoxication/euphoria" forming a single word.
