Quoting: subI read that kind of news all over the place.

If it is a misinterpretation by the media, Valve should make that clear, imho.

A really bad article doing an even worse interpretation of the PC Gamer article.

But yeah, Valve could do better job of communicating the limits of Proton.

Quoting: subIsn't this basically backpedaling from the earlier claim, the Steam Deck will support the full catalog?

Have they ever made that claim?

Quoting: GrifterIt's never seemed like a bad idea to me, that's where they belong =) All a mix of native, steam-native, and steam-proton, never had an issue except for these error messages from glorious eggroll, more like inglorious deflated egg to me :(

Seems quite odd to me. Anything in /usr should be read only for normal users. Applications that need to write data shouldn't do so to /usr. But I guess it's personal preference.

Anyhow, it's a complete no-go with containerized Proton (5.13 and up I think?).

Quoting: GrifterI have my steam installed in /usr/local/games/Steam/ and maybe that's the reason, cause I am getting this errmsg from steam:

pressure-vessel-wrap[14224]: W: Using libGLX_mesa.so.0 from provider system for some but not all architectures! Will take /usr/share/drirc.d from provider.
pressure-vessel-wrap[14224]: W: Binding directories that are located under "/usr/" is not supported!
bwrap: Can't chdir to /usr/local/games/Steam/steamapps/common/X2 - The Threat: No such file or directory

Games installed in /usr too? That seems like a really bad idea:

FWIW, I tried X2 myself with Proton-6.10-GE-1 and it ran fine. Or, at least for the 10 minutes or so I played. With vanilla Proton (6.3-5 I think?) there was audio problems. No sound during intro videos or cut scenes. In-game seemed to be working fine though.

Quoting: kuhpunktHow are ACTUAL FILES rumor and gossip?

Most likely files created with a promiscuous umask and chmod'ed 666. Can't believe anything you read there!

Bought it because I was hungry and thought it said Linux & Chili 🌶️

Sounds a bit like Haven Park, another demo I liked. I guess they're both inspired by Animal Crossing? Never did play that one.

Should we start some sort of betting pool on who is going to sponsor Blender next? Autodesk? The NRA? NAMBLA?

Quoting: denyasisI've always thought of SCUMM as for the adventure games. It makes me wonder what underlying engine Crusader used?

Sounds like it was based on the Ultima 8 engine.
