Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered may need a workaround on desktop Linux

Quoting: JarmerI have so many emotions / comments about this whole thing lolol

  • like @linas said: wtf why does this even exist at all, a remaster of a game that needs absolutely no remaster at all wtf wtf wtf

  • nixxes are some of the absolute best devs out there, I swear they are amazing. While I didn't like the Forbidden West game (at all, god it was so so so so so so so horrible) their work on the pc version of the game was damn near flawless. By far the best I've seen for any modern release.

  • fuck sony for forcing psn logins into their games and breaking stuff like this all over the place

  • the original non-psn-bullshit game being delisted is awful and I wish steam/valve would make this impossible to do

  • the first game is still amazing in this series, but the second was a major step down in quality, so I'm not even excited for the third installation at all
what didn't you like about Forbidden West? While there are some regressions I noticed particularly in the UI department, I still enjoyed it coming from Zero Dawn. Curious what other people think about it

Thank you! Nice of Sony to actively support Linux and the Steam Deck. They get showered in criticism due to their forced PSN account BS but make sure this actually works on SD/Linux, unlike other publishers who block their games entirely (most recently, Apex Legends)

Interesting but I guess it would interfere with using gyro, right?

Get House Flipper, House Flipper VR and various DLC in this Humble Bundle

While I'm interested in the franchise, I find the inclusion of a VR only title puzzling. Even in the basic package, it is included. I'll pass on this because I don't see the point of buying things i can't use anyway

Quoting: Mountain Man
Quoting: AsciiWolfNice, but I wonder why they didn't go with Mesa 24.2. Mesa 24.1 is already quite old at this point.
As a Linux user, you should know that "old" means "thoroughly tested and stable".
Yup, I'd rather have older stuff that works properly than bleeding edge with tons of bugs

NVIDIA 565.57.01 Beta has Wayland and HDR improvements, plus DXVK and VKD3D optimizations

Why are these Linux patch notes always so cryptic :cry: in the Windows Patch notes, you read things like 'game ready driver for this and that', 'optimal settings for this and that', 'fixed this bug'. Whereas with the Linux drivers i feel like I need a degree to understand that. What the frick is VK_EXT_depth_clamp_control for example

Lol, the perpetual beta! In seriousness tho, I appreciate that they fix such issues before it comes to stable

Control spin-off FBC: Firebreak from Remedy aims for Steam Deck support

Nice! Control is a great game with a very unique setting and gameplay, I like it. Although I found Control's difficulty pretty brutal, especially the boss fights. However, this seems like it could be easier with friends to help you

I feel like that's gonna be taken down because Warner Bros. think their IP has been stolen or something stupid

1660€ for an Nvidia 4060, 16GB RAM, and 500GB SSD??? This is absolutely insane. How can anyone justify spending this much money and then getting low end hardware for the price? Why combine that with an i9 when it just holds the processor back in this absurd configuration? At the very least it should be 1TB ande 32GB
