Quoting: GerarderloperAMD/Intel RT performance being quite far behind NVIDIA, and probably still behind.

At least when looking at very heavy RT based games like many running UE5, or CP77.
I think the only reason AMD/Intel look ok in these games atm is because NVIDIA has that COLOSSAL 40-50% performance hit in MANY DX12 RT games. (probably still 3mnths until we see fixes be fully integrated)

Yes, the $1000 more hardware is 1000$ worth better at raytracing, ofcourse.

The steam page says online and lan co-op, that sounds attractive to me

Quoting: eggroleAs everyone has said, I see no issue with the 30% cut, but I think the more important part, that has a bit of merit IMHO, is the off-platform competition restriction. If my game is for sale on steam for $50, why can't I sell it direct on my website (or any other platform for that matter) for $40?

This *feels* very anti-competitive, but what do I know.

This part is true, I can agree on that.

Even if Valve survives this if it's successful, this will set legal standards and they'll be forced to change the amount of money they get from publishers.

Quoting: AsciiWolfMassive upgrade? So... finally a native Linux version? ;-)

Native Linux version is such a tired request, if it works good on proton I'm not sure why people complain.
Let them target 2 platforms with one release. :/

Quoting: GrishnakhA number of years ago one of the chief Vortex devs, when asked whether they'd support Linux, said no way, no how -- Vortex was built using Windows tooling. Better to make a clean-sheet manager, which there were no plans to do.

A year later, a cross-platform, clean-sheet mod manager is announced. New devs hired to work on it, community built around it, active engagement with user base helped shape the product. Despite being clean, good, actively developed, no technical debt, and actively desired by the market segment, it's canceled.

To appease the peasants Nexus asserts they are "supporting" Linux by suckering remora-like onto Valve's compatibility work. The Vortex update will only be supported on Steam hardware; the rest of you Linux losers are on your own.

Did I get the timeline right? Sure wouldn't want to, I dunno, look like an _idiot_ or something....

I agree it's a shame that they canned the NMA but you are acting very pretentious considering they are giving support to begin with. If it works on SteamOS then it will likely work on other distros as well, and won't require much work otherwise.

While NMA getting canned is bad news, this is good news, stop acting out proving to developers they just shouldn't even bother because people will be upset either way.

and this

seems just disingenuous either way, no one can actually believe that right?

Quoting: benjamimgoisThanks for the post Liam ! GamingonLinux recognition makes a lot of difference.

Goverlay started as a GUI for overlay (mangohud), but the scope got broader. I'm thinking about rebrand the project. Maybe some community feedback / suggestions would be cool.

Rebranding could throw people off for a time, though here are some crappy names I came up with:
FrameUtils
PerforSuite
GUISuite
GaminGUI (yes i know)
GamersNexus (LOL, cause it's a collection of tools, :P)
UtiGUI (utility gui)
SynerGUI

Familiar but probably also terrible ??:
GUItils
GoUtils
Go-Overlay

I like raytraced reflections, the rest I don't really care about personally. Most of the time it's not implemented correctly and it has lots of noise so I don't use it, but for example Cyberpunk is good enough that I would, even though it has light bleed.

This performance boost is great (:

Yay! Now we can move faster towards a hardware-less future!
