I am basically on experimental for all games without hickups except the one or two bad releases which got a fix within an hour.

And often they carried fixes I wanted rather sooner than later, as the ffxiv launcher or stray performance improvements.

Runs well on Nvidia with Proton. And it really is lovely.

I'm using Nvidia and decided I will just buy it once it's confirmed running. I have no doubts it will, most games running on deck do actually run on Nvidia.

And seriously, playing a cat in a survival game? Couldn't be a cooler setting. An almost perfect hunter with night vision in a survival game...

While it was nice to get stuff DRM free, I hardly used it anyway.

I rather support Valve who have a stake in Linux now and did invest, even if it's another layer of DRM. With all those launchers it seems we hardly get around that in future anyway.

GOG is just another sales platform, and while Valves pricing is using their power on the market, it's a capitalist world and I would not trust any other company not to do the same or worse.

I do not see that market shifting any time soon. There are players with the capacity for that (Google, Amazon, Microsoft as examples), but none offer terms which make Developers AND players switch. That could only be done by lower pricing than on a competitors store and better terms for developers if the storefront goes with low profit. And that is not likely to happen.

Final Fantasy XIV launcher exiting silently when there's not enough space to download the update.

Hehe, ran into that while waiting for my new 2TB SSD be delivered to replace my 1TB HDD.

They are really doing a good job there on Proton/Wine. I think the money Valve throws at Proton and in the end Wine really is worth a lot. Even if a lot of those implementations in wine are done by contractors/crossover, Valve pays up.

I still want a switch like steam deck with docking for my TV though. Sadly they seem to have cancelled the docking plan.

Too many games in my backlog for the years to come. I will wait a few more sales until I buy new games.

This engine was probably the best thing which came out of amazon game studios yet ;-).

But wasn't it based upon the crytek engine? I wonder how they could relicense it to Apache.

I thought the launcher login below the news was intentional bad design by SE to fit with th bad design of the rest of their websites ;-).

I spend my time in Horizon: Zero Dawn at the moment. Really enjoy the game, and runs great on Proton.

Next will probably be God of War.

Quoting: melkemind

Quoting: TheRiddickI might need to switch to a NVIDIA card since I just found out my AMD card is not ALLOWED to do HDMI2.1.
I was running ycb420 this whole time thinking it was RGB, lmao.

The HDMI2.1 standard needs more open minded people running the show!

Isn't the plan for Nvidia to eventually replace their proprietary driver with the open source one, and if so, wouldn't that put you in the same boat?

Actually, the Nvidia open source driver DOES implement HDMI FRL (https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/blob/main/src/nvidia-modeset/src/nvkms-hdmi.c#L2064).

This is legally more than questionable. I don't know if that slipped through when putting the drivers open source, or if they had some legal agreement with the HDMI Forum... but that well could end up in court.
