Quoting: t3gI heard the kernel is still old, but is Mesa also old as well?

Mesa is 22.2.0 which is recent but not latest. 2nd picture in

You can export game saves, I don't know if they are compatible with PC builds of a game though.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI just checked and this version of DXVK is not yet available on lutris or bottles

Download DXVK from github and add it to Lutris/Bottles, then.

Quoting: t3gPop_OS which has 22.2 and 6.0.6 of the Linux kernel right now.

AFAIK you need Mesa development drivers for the stutter-reducing extensions, even 22.2 is not enough.

If you have drivers that support what's needed, the "shaders will now be compiled at the time the game loads its D3D shaders, rather than at draw time" resulting in reduced or eliminated shader compile stutter.

Finally graphics pipeline library is merged into a stable branch! Now Imwait for stable Proton to pick this up...

For this, you will need to ensure you have up to date drivers, they said any Vulkan 1.2 capable driver and Wine version are required now

The release announcement mentions Vulkan 1.3, not 1.2

Quoting: Appelsindoes it break Proton/Steam Deck? Yes, you said?

It is most likely "Does it break Steam Deck? -- What is a Steam Deck?"
In other words they didn't think much about testing. If you want to see how EA QA is just look at FIFA 23's reviews.

Quoting: heidi.wengerSo doesn't work on Firefox huh. No, then.

I tried Xcloud on Firedragon (Librewolf fork, which is a fork of Firefox) a few months ago, I got an "unsupported browser" warning but managed to play Fortnite with a Dualshock 3. Don't ask performance, though, because I had to use VPN which made it unplayable.

Quoting: itscalledrealityI want another games launcher for my Steam Deck but all of them are either terrible GTK or Electron applications.

Using Electron for Heroic is actually a good choice because a built-in browser is needed and Electron supplies that.

New quick access menu, for access to notifications, friends list, quick settings, and more.
Access this with Steam / Guide / PS button + A

Why didn't anyone tell me Quick access is accessible by PS Button + A?
