Quoting: ToddLGood thing I only cared about the Campaign mode on Battlefield 1 and finished that up after Battlefield V was infected with this POS anticheat.

Quoting: MohandevirLet's just hope Microsoft end up locking them out of kernel access, just to make this a complete waste of time and money, for EA.

If only that same logic can be applied to all kernel anticheats from companies like Activision and Riot Games.

I was referring to a discussion that Microsoft just started where they announced their intent to lock third parties from kernel access, following the Cloudstrike debacle (Liam published something on the subject).

If Microsoft goes forward with this idea, all kernel level anticheats might become a thing of the past. It doesn't mean that these games will automatically run on Linux, but I really hope it happens nonetheless, the sooner, the better.

Quoting: Mohandevirand works differently

It works exactly the same in principle, you need to lower the game's resolution and then it will be upscaled with the selected algorithm. LS just offers more upscalers. Plus there's Frame Gen (interpolation), which can also be implemented in gamescope, but probably only FSR.

Ok! So the thing about fps cap is tied to the Frame Gen part? That's probably why I read that FSR3 is better than Lossless scaling; it includes Frame Gen, if I remember correctly?

Quoting: MohandevirDo we know if Valve is working to bring something similar to lossless scaling to SteamOS? It seems it does "miracles" on Windows side, on ANY game.

Is it better than AMD FSR? I must admit that I can't compare, I don't have a Windows partition. :sick:

I could be wrong (no Steam Deck), but isn't that what Gamescope does?

Gamescope has different system wide upscalers (Linear, Pixel, FSR, NIS), but from what I understand, lossless scaling is Windows only and works differently. Instead of lowering the resolution, you lower the fps cap to, Let's say 30 and lossless scaling will raise it to 60fps.

I would be curious to try that on SteamOS. This said, in-game FSR3 should give better results.

Take this with a pinch of salt, it's just my understanding.

I think I'll probably reinstall a Windows partition, just for the pleasure of being mad at Microsoft... Not. :grin:

The only way I'll use Windows is through GeForce Now. I'll let Nvidia manage this garbage OS. :wink:

How long has it been since they started working on version 3.6?

I'm still on the stable branch, on my LCD Steam Deck... Am I missing a lot?

Nice idea... Just received the 7in1 model, a couple of hours ago. Should have come here first! :grin:

This said, my iVoler model was acting weird (hdmi not connecting at every time and micro sd card, in my SD, unusable when docked, go figure...)

The sd card thing is pretty weird. Anyone else got a similar issue?

Edit (26/07):
Yep! Issue with SD card gone, with jsaux dock.

Quoting: MohandevirHappy birthday GoL!

Time flies waaaaaayyyyy to fast! Since 2012, when I found GoL, it quickly became my preferred source of Linux gaming news!

Keep doing your awesome work Liam and colabs! I still need my daily fix! :wink:

And thinking about 2012 and the first game I played on Steam for Linux: "The cake is a lie" :grin:
