What would I need to test to say "It still works!"?

Quoting: slaapliedjeWorked for me as well, at the time when it was free to keep at Steam.Quoting: GuestHuh, well I have 58min of play time, but suure enough it crashes, even after making the change to the shaderfile.Quoting: slaapliedjeWeird, pretty sure Monaco worked for me when it came out.https://steamcommunity.com/app/113020/discussions/4/630802343848424492/#c666824800759604947 [External Link]

Quoting: MohandevirNever change a running system...Quoting: EikeThat's what I was asking: Is there a glaring issue with the OEM sticks that I'm not aware off, like the Nintendo Switch? Personally, I'm not going to mess with my Steam Deck, if it's not broken. I would like a 1tb nvme upgrade and I'm hesitant for the same reason.Quoting: RealChrisThere Is Absolutely ZERO Reason To Mod The OEMs Steam Deck Joysticks, They Work Just Fine As Is, This Is Just In Case You Receive A Defective Unit After Your WarrantyI stopped reading here due to all that capitalization.
I haven't got problems with the sticks either, but then, joystick feel like something gone for good in the early Nineties to me. ;)
That's one thing I would like to see in a Steam Deck2: an easy way to swap the storage, without taking it apart.

Quoting: GuestIt's mainly older titles, 2000s and earlier. But for a Linux game from Steam that doesn't work: Monaco.I did meet a handful of games that didn't work correctly when I bought and played them, but I returned those. Sometimes it was somewhat subtle, like Born Punk, where everything worked except displaying the lore.
I booted it up sometime last year, and it instantly crashed.
As it turns out, it's a known issue since launch, that they never fixed. The entire issue is solved by modifying a shader file.

Quoting: ArdjeI am actually just glad if they keep supporting proton.Well, I could hardly believe the situation with native Linux games is that bad, so I tried it on my side. I redownloaded and started the first 10 games I got for Linux on Steam, from late 2012 to mid 2013.(*) Every single one of them is running without problems and without any tinkering on my 2023 system.
The fact is: proton is the only middle ware that guarantees support for the next 20 years. Not because it acts like windows, in fact it doesn't. Unlike windows, proton guarantees a fixed API and bug compatibility.
None of my original Linux games still work, but their windows counter parts work without problems or patches on proton. And no, they don't work on windows 11 either.

Claim a free copy of Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs on GOG

*edit* Good I included it in my Steam review: Had to use borderless window instead of fullscreen.

Quoting: GroganI wanted to play Amnesia Rebirth, but that's horrible OpenGL programming. I'm sure it works for somebody, but it's just corruption and crash/freezing with both the Linux native and the Windows version for me. Very same behaviour. Trial and error programming on Nvidia, probably. I tried that game twice, once when it came out, and maybe 3 months ago and refunded it both times as "game does not work properly".I played through it on Debian/Nvidia. I remember I had to change a setting at the beginning, I think it was something about windowed or fullscreen.

Linux hits a multi-year high for user share on Steam thanks to Steam Deck

Quoting: CatKillerCould you show the latter? What I'm seeing is even some developers with year long native support for Linux have given up on it (as well as our porting houses).Quoting: adolsonIt's still early days, but so far, we're seeing the opposite effect due to Proton.No, we aren't. The release of Proton had no effect whatsoever on the proportion of Linux-native games that are released. The growth in the Linux market has since caused an increase in the proportion of Linux-native games that are released.

Quoting: ZlopezIt's also good to see that Flatpak Steam is so widely used. :-)Why? The reason for Flatpak that I'm aware of is getting newer software, but Steam is updating itself...
itch.io is hosting another big Queer Games Bundle for Pride Month

Quoting: TcheyNot sure what to think. I’m all in favor for everyone to love who they want to. I could "donate" 10€ to support this idea for sure. But, as a gamer point of view, these bundles on itchio or elsewhere are so often filled with trash-ish games... Just looking quickly at the list here, i didn’t see anything i’d actually enjoy playing.I'm avoiding large bundles, too.
