This game is a hot mess, whether or not you're on Steam Deck. And that's without the bugs and crashing.

Playstation 2 Emulator PCSX2 enables Wayland by default
21 Feb 2025 at 2:05 pm UTC

Glad to hear that, considering that they disabled it last year (I think?) due to issues with Wayland. Seems like Wayland's matured enough or the GUI library they're using has finally fixed up their problems.

Glad to see that they're still working on networking! Can't wait to have every game working OOTB.

I also recommend the Fabulously Optimised modpack, which dramatically boosts your performance completely free of charge.

Half-Life 3 rumours are about again after a teaser from G-Man's voice actor

I've heard the open source alternatives to SteamVR like monado and the streaming solutions are kind of catching up well and giving good performance

I just tried some streaming solutions for my Quest 2 out, so I can give you my opinion.

Steam Link: works the best, native integration, zero setup other than downloading an app

Sadly, this one is only available on Windows.

ALVR: works on both Windows and Linux, long list of troubleshooting issues and solutions, open source

Sadly, this one is just not as good as Steam Link, but I'm not sure if that has to do with ALVR itself or Linux having bad VR support. What I can attest to is poor video quality and lots of stuttering.

Quoting: legluondunetDo someone have info about Wine/Proton progress with support for anticheat games that we cannot play on Linux?
This is a barrier for gamers who want to switch to Linux and leave Windows.

Here's another link I use [External Link]

Godot Engine's 2024 Showreel shows a lot of fun stuff for the open source game engine

Glad to see the 3D side of Godot thriving! There's a few teething issues that are annoying to deal with, but overall I've been happy with how this engine has progressed. I do hope they move back to quarterly releases, though...
