Witcher 3... CP2077... God of War... Horizon Zero Dawn... Hades... Stardew Valley... All on my Steam Deck. :grin:

Lately I've been doing a lot of emulation. I was able to rip my whole Wii library from my old scratched DVD's. I was even able to rip games that wouldn't start anymore in a traditional way.

I'm currently into another Witcher 3 run, because of Next-Gen... I really like the new graphics and FSR2, but content wise... Found the CP2077 easter egg and the Netflix gear set (not really hard). :wink:

Because they want your data! Anti-piracy measure? Because Steam permits offline play? It's become even more annoying than DRM (launcher in a launcher).

Edit: Thank you Ubisoft for not taking the time to test against Proton and make sure Valve doesn't have the time to make the corrections, before updating!

I had the God of War issue, but I reduced the graphic preset to standard/30fps and the issue was gone, if I remember correctly. I tought Proton may have problems with some graphic settings, at higher levels... It made me remember of LotRO, with wine, many years ago. Trying to run the game at ultra resulted in crashes in less than 15 mins of play, back then.

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.
