Surprise! Surprise!

*End of sarcasm*

Smells like EAC to me... Will they enable proton? That's what they could do. Atm, they don't have anti-cheat measures... Unless Proton support crashes the game, enabling it with EAC can't be worst than statu quo...

Sorry for the confusion. I was saying the Stadia controller would benefit from removable batteries. I agree with you.

As long as I can recharge them with a USB cable, I'd be pretty fine with that.

This said, the Stadia controller rumble works in Dolphin emulator. Niiice! ... To have.

One more device offering running Linux ootb can't be a bad thing. Personnally I'll stick with Valve, though.

Awesome! I really like the controller. It's going to be a great pal for my AndroidTV box (Steam Link).

... Part of the point is a portable library that you can swap between your PC and your Steam Deck...

There. You have it. That's the exclusivity Valve is putting forward: Play anywhere, on any device, however you feel it.

That is exclusive to the PC and everyone else is trying to catch up. Valve's understanding of the PC platform is leagues in front of anybody else and they made a businness out of it.

For the story, the lore and the gameplay, God of War, hands down. On my Steam Deck, what a ride!

Quoting: ShmerlPerformance experience with DX12 version is really bad. DX11 one works well.

Just gave it a shot with the newly released vkd3d-proton 2.8, game loads fine however fps is very unstable compared to dx11.

I'd say right now the only reason to use the DX12 version is to enable FSR2.

Even that... I'm unconvinced. The image looked too blurry. I still get that 40fps mark, though. I also tried comparing that setup (FSR2 in automatic mode) to Steam Deck's FSR (3) with TAAU AA at 1152*768 resolution. It looks better and feels smoother, imo. I'll try a more extensive play session later to confirm it's not just a weird occurence, but the Steam Deck's internal temps were oscillating between 60 and 68deg with this setup while with FSR2, it got regularly above 80deg with the fan noise typical with these temps.

Anyone to comfirm/deny?

Edit: I stand on my first impressions. DX12 at medium settings with TAAU AA, 1158x768 resolution and the Steam Deck's FSR (3) , it runs and looks much better than in-game FSR2 automatic with similar settings, for this game. Something wrong with this FSR2 implementation?

It works pretty well on my Steam Deck. Got great performance with FSR2: solid 40fps at medium settings, no hairworks; I always turn if off, anyway (it takes too much ressources on all of my systems and I'm not sure I like the look of it).

Edit: Wrong setting... Tried too many combinations
