Valve updates Steam with more Linux improvements, new game properties UI

Quoting: setzer22Issues "being looked into" could have something to do with the fact that I have to quickly press "Skip" when steam starts processing Vulkan shaders or the system starts consuming more and more RAM until it hits 32GB and my whole system dies.

Let's all take a minute to thank NVidia for their great contributions to Linux gaming! :grin:
I actually had to turn it off, it made my PC freeze up hard with my NVIDIA GPU.
Quoting: Steam Client Beta - December 9thLinux:
- Improved performance of processing incremental Vulkan shader database updates
- Fixed several issues around skipped Vulkan shader processing continuing in the background after a game has started
- Disabled shader processing on NVIDIA while driver issues are being looked into

Quoting: TriasLooks like I would need more and more staff I understand less and less on my system. Giving up. I guess I'll wait for Mesa 21 release while trying to uninstall everything I installed today... :).
you can always resort to oibaf ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I'm using Oibaf driver PPA on daily basis for quite a long time.
Can anyone please confirm that C2077 works with these (current) Oibaf drivers?
Trias confirmed it works with Mesa from either Oibaf's or Kisak's PPA earlier in this thread. Mind that he has different hardware than you do.

Quoting: x_wingJust take a look on the number of people that are asking for CP2077 or Galaxy for Linux in GOG and you will see that they cannot have any doubt that a lot of Linux users shows their support but they don't give a fuck. "Keep buying so they notice us" just doesn't makes sense.
Can I please ask, where can this be found on GOG?

Quoting: Liam Daweif you have an AMD GPU and you don't mind grabbing the latest development code for the Mesa graphics drivers
Just as a heads up to people on Ubuntu and derivatives, no need for latest development code as it seems like Kisak's latest Mesa 20.3.0 stable packages include support for the VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type extension already, along with other useful backports. Hopefully this makes it easier for some of you to play CP2077.

The game looks cool, but I'm in the "there are enough Linux titles being released to keep me entertained" camp myself.

Quoting: tuubiIt does look enticing, but the "Multiplayer Online" bit will keep it off my wishlist. I suppose this is for the extroverts among us.
I think there's good online multiplayer somewhere out there, like there was polite deathmatch in Frozen Synapse.
I enjoyed hundreds of hours of (non-serious) Rocket League in short sessions back when it was still on Linux. But only teamed up with friends. And the Dirt Rally GOL League was fun for a long while, but there was no interaction with other players really, apart from the leaderboards.

Even the idea of online gaming—polite or not—feels stressful. Game-time is me-time, dammit! :tongue:

Uno Platform 3.1 released, adding Linux support to their Universal Windows Platform Bridge

Quoting: denyasisQuestion for you. I'm new to SQL so this might be dumb. The problem I run into is that the editor needs to talk to OpenEdge... From the 90's... I think version 10?
If there's a working jdbc driver for it, DBeaver should be able to connect to it. Trying it out should only take a few minutes. Seems like this article [External Link] should help you with the configuration if there's no OpenEdge support out of the box.

our new Sql database might be a little old.
Ouch.

Quoting: EikeI got severe mouse (and keyboard, it seems) lag. System is strong enough. Tried lower resolution, 60 Hertz, Vsync on and off, fullscreen on and off. Anybody got an idea?
Did you try disabling AA and/or SSAO in game? I remember one or the other resulting in sluggish input in certain Unity games. Although that was back when my system was quite a bit weaker than yours. I guess you could try switching off your compositor as well.

WindowsCodecs and QCap libraries converted to PE.
All of then?
I think this means the Wine implementations of windowscodecs.dll and qcap.dll. Not all codec libraries ever released on Windows, if that's what you're asking. :wink:

Quoting: slaapliedjeWith AMD you will always be chasing the latest mesa libs or kernel, because distrubutions don't chase AMD.
That sounds so dramatic, until you realise that on many popular distributions "chasing" means adding a repo and letting your update manager handle the rest. On rolling distros like Arch you're already running the latest and greatest so you're pretty much good to go. I'm on Mint, but I certainly don't spend any more time "chasing libs" than I spent chasing new Nvidia drivers back when I owned their hardware.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe open source ones tsnd to not perform as well, as noted earlier in this thread.
That's not generally true for AMD these days, according to benchmarks. There are exceptions of course, but gamers are usually better off with Mesa.

Personally I switched from AMD/ATI to Nvidia about 15 years ago, when fglrx was making my life miserable. But I don't see a reason to pick a camp and stick with it. No hardware vendor has earned my undying loyalty.

I've had less issues since I switched back to AMD after a few Nvidia GPUs that mostly just worked and that's enough to keep me here for now. Being dependent on one less proprietary piece of software is also nice.
