Rocket League is getting additional anti-cheat functionality
23 Jan 2023 at 2:59 pm UTC

Quoting: Linasthey pulled from Steam, did that blueprint/lootbox thing, killed Linux support
These are related to revenue so Epic may be interested in touching these parts instead of how anticheat is handled.

Quoting: GuestDidn't Epic deliberately make devs remove Proton support for Fall Guys, or is that a different situation?
Fall Guys never natively supported Linux, (not to be confused with RL) FG stopped working when devs added EAC. At the time EAC was added, EAC had no Proton integration so devs had no choice. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4123#issuecomment-692699553 [External Link]
At a later time devs added EAC Linux supported and FG started working again.

Steam Deck thoughts a year later

That of course is an ongoing problem, but one that might eventually solve itself if the Steam Deck continues to be a success.
I genuinely hope the AC problem solves itself for once and for good.

Quoting: MohandevirSmells like EAC to me...
While Psyonix is owned by Epic, Epic does not necessarily influence decisions of Psyonix so we may see a solution other than EAC.

An interview with the creator of the Heroic Games Launcher

Quoting: WMan22I really hope they follow through on that itch.io support.
Apart from Steam, itch is the only store with Linux support, focusing on stores without Linux support would be better IMO.

Or they were complaining that it was an Electron App and I should write it in another framework or language.
Well I'd complain about Heroic being Electron-based but when Heroic boots way faster than EGS and Steam, runs circles around both of them and still looks nice; I realise Electron is not really a problem. I have systems using HDD so if a program is (un)optimized, I easily notice it.

Quoting: JulianI tried with Lutris, but doesn't work. I will wait until some fix appear, I can't buy it again
Does your build on Lutris have the .so file? (in path: EasyAntiCheat/easyanticheat_x64.so) If it isn't you may need to add the file manually.

Plasma 5.27 Beta live with Flatpak settings, multi-monitor upgrade, SteamOS updater

This time KDE stole from Microsoft, the new tiling feature is probably inspired by Win11's corresponding feature. (was it called snapping?) But they didn't just copy pasta but slightly improved it.
