Do you have a link for the other Steam Deck categories as well?

Quoting: SchattenspiegelPurely for voice chat: much better than discord!

Why? I wanted to do voice chat (Valheim with a Windows using friend) lately for the first time (yay!). I was "defaulting" to Discord, but in the end wasn't sure why not to use say Telegram or WhatsApp (latency?) or, well, we were two, good old phone line.
What should we use - and why?

Quoting: BielFPs

Quoting: slaapliedjeUhm, there has been one delay.

First was predicted to February 2022, now @Arehandoro said:

Quoting: ArehandoroMy order availability now says after Q2 2022.

The original release date was Christmas 2021.

That's their personal date, not the general release date. Everybody preordering gets a personal prediction when their respective order might actually happen.

Quoting: Tuxee

Quoting: ArehandoroMy order availability now says after Q2 2022. Therefore nothing for another 6 months approx.

"Another 6 months" would translate to "Q3".

Well, "after Q2" and "Q3" is not too contradictory...

Quoting: SolitaryIsn't PVP basically broken in this game? If Steam forums and many reviews are any indication, the game's community is pretty toxic with people just bullying weaker players and lot of griefing, spawn killing, etc., because the game allows for that type of play and time wasting. All of that being excused by the part of that community that is doing it as "part of the game", "realistic pirating" or just "suck it up", while actively disagreeing with any needs for fixing glaring problems that allow for all of that.

Is it possible to switch off the PVP part?

And, could I play with Windows friends?

Quoting: The_LuxTo be fair, I normally don't play with randoms, so Voice Chat isn't that important for me.

Do I understand that correctly, you would like to have voice chat with foreigners?
I basically gave up online gaming at least a decade ago due to seeing written chat of all those random foreigners...

Quoting: BeamboomMaybe I've just been incredibly lucky, but I've not had a game not working properly with the official version of proton/steam play.
And the few cases it didn't work, neither does it on GE (according to protondb).

It was different a couple of years ago though. That leads me to wonder if not in fact GE has kind of outplayed its role?

The Media Foundation thing should happen on many games, no? Recently bought Paw Patrol - On a Roll and it was missing video clips with any proton I tried. Even worse, it did not run at all with the latest versions!?! I had to use an older version plus do the media Foundation trick. (Did not try GE.)

Quoting: slaapliedjeAds don't make YouTube free. You pay with your time to watch them.

Sorry, this is nonsense. Nobody benefits from the time you spend there.
It's like saying "I'm paying for this free beer with the time to drink it."

I'm also using YouTube with an add blocker, but we should be honest about what we're doing there.

Quoting: EikeI backed the game and I'm looking forward to it.

Still no sign of the Linux version that's been promised...
Fixes, consoles, even a DLC, but no word of Linux.

Quoting: tuubiNot that old fashioned if you prefer to use one of these newfangled graphical file manager thingamajigs. :wink:

I guess it's all about if your "old" is seventies or nineties... ;)
