Requires SystemD, so this is a non-starter. A shame. I almost got my TrackIR working. OpenTrack detects it and the test shape does move with my head, but not in any coherent manner at all :(

In those cases, go for something like Proton-GE, that includes most of the missing codecs.

But that's the thing—in those cases you don't know that you're missing out.

To actually get those videos downloaded with the game, you need to ensure you have the Shader Pre-Caching system enabled, as it contains game shaders to improve performance and the re-encoded videos too.

Does that mean that if shader pre-caching is disabled, such videos won't be re-encoded on the fly, so enabling it is the only way to see them?

I am worried about games that have such videos but which are used for something like a cut scene, where nothing plays, not even the test pattern. When that happens, you've no idea that there even was a cut scene supposed to play, so you're missing out.

What's the current most annoying issue you want to see solved on Steam?

Game recording, or rather playback/editing, only working on the home partition.

Quoting: williamjcmHonestly, if Valve does make a Steam Controller 2 or similar, I hope they'll bring back the dual-stage triggers from the original. I really loved those, as I used the click at the end to enable gyro aiming.

Meanwhile, the Steam Deck's triggers don't have that, and it saddens me.

Oh, that's sad to know. It is handy to use for boost in some racing games.

Comment starts now. This "trailer starts now" crap is a sin.

Quoting: hardpenguinHot take: GOG wouldn't be worth it for us Linux gamers if it wasn't for Heroic and the projects it relies on (like gogdl and comet).

Don't forget Lutris!

I thought this was going to be another Youtube video that the uploaders call a podcast, but this one actually has a podcast!

Quoting: PhlebiacFor those who have used it: would you say it dramatically improves the visuals in your game(s)? After playing with it on, would you be disappointed to play with it off? Just wondering if I should prioritize it as a feature next time I buy a monitor.

I've not played games with it, but, FWIW, I don't notice any difference when watching a HDR movie on my big screen TV. I would probably need a side by side comparison.
