Assassin's Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws head to Steam as Ubisoft return to same-day releases

Also, some of the only criticisms that I'd consider actually valid about that Feudal Japan Assassin's Creed game are those from actual Japanese or people of Japanese ancestry, etc. (Outside of any bullshit xenophobia, of course.) Cause I've seen Japanese folks pissed off about it on Discord and elsewhere, and I don't really blame them for being upset that the character isn't ethnically Japanese. Though I also do get why Ubisoft picked who they picked for the game, cause of their unique place in Japanese history.

Considering my feelings about them muting Humberly González's Latina looks and beauty in the game. I'm really on the fence if I'd buy it on Steam or at all. More Latinx representation in games is good. As someone who's in solidarity with all of the immigrants, and has heard and seen racism and xenophobia firsthand about and towards Hispanic/Latino people. (On top of my support of the Latin American left and workers.) I just don't know if I'd wanna support the game.

The sexists, other bigots, and right-wing pieces of shit can go fuck themselves. Poor character design and double standards suck, but those reactionary morons and their bullshit delusions about it are far worse.

Awesome, but I'd still like a native Apple Silicon build of the Steam client too. There's already some native Apple Silicon games [External Link] on Steam.

Quoting: mrdeathjr​This wine version come with many changes some related screen management



other important change cited in phoronix forum is child window rendering*

http://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6467 [External Link]

*however in my case catherine still fucked in both ways: no cinematics - only white screen

also have some changes in control panel input app







also run some newer titles like this:







back to ffmpeg backend is needed add registry key

http://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6442 [External Link]

This introduces a new alternative FFmpeg-based implementation for the MF byte stream handlers, while keeping the current GStreamer-based as default.

The new implementation can be enabled by setting the DWORD value:

DisableGstByteStreamHandler = 1

in the HKCU\Software\Wine\MediaFoundation registry key.​


in my case mp4+mp3 magic still working (case atelier sophie - god eater resurrection - bully scholarship - onimusha 3 demon siege - ninja blade)



















mpeg (case melty blood act cadenza, resident evil 4 2005) work







and stay testing other titles (avi cinematics on enter the matrix for example)













but wmv (with wmapro audio) however still is a problem in my case
