Seems like you can only use FSR upscaling with Framegen which is a shame. XeSS had too much ghosting previously but 1.3 has been fantastic. Obviously not as good as DLSS but quality is more than capable that I don't care about the difference too much.

Sadly, I can't say the same about FSR. Still feels weird to use Intel's upscaler on AMD hardware because AMD's implementation is so bad.

Now that wasn't so hard, was it? :tongue:

Now I just need an option to record my microphone and I might actually use this. It's so close.

From what I've heard, Wukong runs just barely good enough on the Deck. And with OLED getting over 2 hours of battery life at high TDP, 3 hours seems to be a quite believable goal. Then again, the comparison seems to be with something like the Ally in high TDP mode according to the stated battery life. This would be quite impressive indeed, given that the Z1 chips felt like "throwing more power at the problem" compared to the chip in the Deck.

Regarding the Deck 2, I think they might wait at least one more year. The fact that Wukong runs at all makes me believe that the Deck can keep up with new releases just a bit longer.

I hope disabling recording can help with having multiple applications in gamemode.
I have to open Discord after the game which gets very annoying when switching games.

Also, hopefully we'll get the option to choose audio sources, including mic input.
Ideally being able to change it when making clips to make it really flexible.

This feature could be really good but it definitely needs to cater to more use cases.

The spiritual successor to Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures we've all been waiting for :tongue:

Always nice to see the Linux experience getting easier and more streamlined. I have only dabbled with Linux before Proton released but I do remember struggling to get some games run under Wine. So it's nice that nowadays you can say "just use this" and get access to hundreds of games over many different storefronts. Bonus points for automatically adding games to Steam for even better user experience.

It's genuinely exciting to see pain points for new users getting addressed.
Also, given that HoYoverse games seem to be getting more relaxed in regards to anti-cheat, having the launcher included could possibly be a big boon.

The Finals is an odd one. Anti-cheat breaks every other update, yet Valve is able to patch it every time without the developers. If the anti-cheat isn't configured correctly, it wouldn't even run under Linux. I do wonder what the actual issue is. Maybe the build process configures stuff slightly differently every single time or something. :huh:

Quoting: Claude_LibThat's good. Wonder how it's gonna handle SteamOS-like distros like Bazzite, or HoloISO, or ChimeraOS.

The Steam Year in Review showed my ChimeraOS playtime as a Steam Deck. Unless that changed, those distros pretend to be a Steam Deck unless it's in desktop mode.

The Helldivers boycott sure was effective.
I have friends that still can't buy the game due to the regional limitations. But everyone gave themselves a pat on the back after a single tweet and forgot about that immediately.

But hey, it's not like that was the main argument everyone was making, right? :whistle:
