Why are they using a custom script? Does Steam not provide separate options for Linux x86 and Linux ARM?

Do not recommend Bloons TD6 with the high system requirements. Highly recommend Into the Breach and Prey.

Quoting: Nora Bell _They-She_I'd like to see an un-Googled build too, though I suspect that is still some time away.
Good news! Ungoogled Chromium is a thing!

  • a "download all" button for updates on the download screen
    • I'm pretty sure they had this feature before and then removed it because it dramatically increased the amount of traffic on their servers.

    I am beginning to worry about how many charity bundles there have been lately.

    Rather than the drivers being "a goddamn mess", I suspect a lot of it is the game engines being the problem. Godot shouldn't have that problem, but I have no idea what issues people ran into (maybe Intel and AMD Windows driver bugs?).
    Here's a recent AMD Vulkan issue on Windows [External Link], that could only be fixed by switching to DX12 or waiting for a graphics driver update. Keep in mind that this was a regression, meaning that this had happened before.

    Here's a recent NVIDIA Vulkan issue on Windows [External Link].

    Again, no hate to either the Khronos Group or the Godot developers, but Vulkan just isn't well supported on Windows.

    Quoting: GuestI wish they didn't make DX12 the default on Windows, that's exactly what developers are going to use and target for performance. 😫
    Unfortunately, NVIDIA's and AMD's Vulkan drivers on Windows is such a goddamn mess, I don't blame any developer that switches to DX12 by default. I really do hope that the drivers get better, but the Godot developers wants to make game development as seamless as possible, and that will unfortunately mean choosing a graphics API that works better, even if it's not an open standard.
