Personnaly my rig is built on SteamOS and I don't have all the issues you're talking about. It feels much more seamless.

The only annoyance was in Dirt:Showdown, with the Gyro turned on you have to be carefull with the controller positionning or you get a non-stopping scrolling menu. Once turned off, the experience is awesome.

Edit : I must admit that I have no controller reference because I hated the dual analog stick convention. To me the Steam Controller feels really natural.

I think Vulkan is the key in Valve's scheme:

A crossplatform api to replace DX12 with better performances will make it easier for game publishers to port their games to SteamOS. Once gamers see the performance gained with it, they will start to convert.

Be carefull, I'm not saying this is going to happen. I think, it's what Valve is hoping for.

Edit : Have you noticed the "Optimized for SteamOS" label on a couple of games? Alien: Isolation being one of them... Interresting marketing strategy.

Quoting: liamdaweAh my bad with the time, I had the area slightly wrong heh the US is confusing with lots of timezones.

I might have been wrong too... Didn't have the right location for Valve:

Bellevue Washington is on Pacific Time. I'm on eastern time. Right now, it's 5h33 in Bellevue and 8h33 eastern time. The "sales update" happens at 1h00 PM, eastern time so it must be 10h00am in Bellevue, WA. What we need to know it's that we are 4h27 till next update.

Sorry for the confusion. :dizzy:

Usually Valve update it's offerings, during Steam sales, at 1PM, where Valve is. I suspect it will be the same, today. They used the same pattern when SteamOS, the Steam Machines and the Steam Controller were first announced, 2 years ago.

It's even worse when you consider the fact that the option "show only content for my system" is checked by default... What is this feature then???

My main gaming rig is built on SteamOS and with the controller the experience is really great. I've played The Witcher 2, Trine, Trine 2 and Portal 2 and I love this thing and the customization possibilities. Didn't get any bugs and the controler's firmware update was automaticaly handled by SteamOS (don't know if it's the same for other OSs).

The M+KB mode feels really natural to me.

I'll buy a second one for Christmas. :)

Quoting: MohandevirThe Witcher 3, best guest on november 1st? Is it just a wishfull thinking or is it based on something more solid? Ok, wishfull thinking might not be the right expression but I'm wondering what is behind this "guess"?

It makes me really glad to think of such a close release even if it's a month or two too early...

That was someone's wishful thinking, I have edited it into 2016.

Thanks for clarifying... Still... Snif! :)

Great news! Going to try it in 5 mins!
Never been totally comfortable with Edgers, mainly due to the fact that it installs and replaces default librairies once it is added.
