S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy Enhanced Edition is out now, needs a workaround on Linux

The game is quite blurry on default settings but this is easily remedied by just changing them a little.

Steam Deck / SteamOS hits 19,000 games rated Verified and Playable

Have you ever tried to run Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on the Steam Deck? Sometimes, there are games listed as Unplayable that end up working fine and I've tried this on a couple of Unplayable games that I own on Steam.
I did try myself and the game would consistently crash when Ultimate Spider-Man came on, as well as have glitches during other segments. I tried to follow another guide and the same crash would happen, or the game would outright not launch. Looking around posts online it seems most people can't get it to work either, so I really have no clue of how that video was captured.

The Deck emulates the PS3 version of the game well though, so I can make do with that if I wanna play it, though the visuals are much clearer natively.

So far only one of the games I'm interested in has been unplayable on Deck, and that is Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions which was already kinda shoddy on my windows computer and probably just isn't fixed due to it being delisted. I hope someday proton happens to fix its issues by coincidence, but otherwise its been smooth sailing.

ZOTAC GAMING ZONE Handheld getting a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 prototype with a Manjaro Linux-based OS

How come ZOTAC of all companies is the one considering that the trackpads are a good feature to have? The lack of trackpads and prices is the main reason I have little interest on other handhelds that are not the Deck, but I also am not fond of ZOTAC on themselves. Hopefully others take notes.

SteamOS 3.7.6 Preview for Steam Deck released, fixing a DOOM: The Dark Ages launch issue
12 May 2025 at 2:26 pm UTC

I can't imagine playing Doom on a Steam Deck would be a particularly pleasant thing to do.
DOOM 2016/Eternal worked really well on the Steam Deck. Not only are the games actually very fine tuned for controller support despite being fast paced FPS games, but the Deck helps even more with gyro and the advanced control configurations it gets by default. The games were even well received on the Switch, so it is a shame that Dark Ages doesn't get good handheld support as of now.

The ROG Ally barely holds 30FPS at the absolute lowest so the Deck definitely won't be playing this game well. Forced ray-tracing is probably holding it back on the handhelds, for shame.

Happy three years to the Steam Deck - the Linux gaming machine that changed everything

Got one in December 2024 and its been my main gaming device since. It's a wonderful machine, not the most powerful but has everything I need to comfortably game with pretty much my entire library inherited and intact. Having PC features is the only thing that makes a console tolerable for me and I'm glad to finally have a device that's actually built for it, it's amazing.

I'm also now convinced that controller trackpads and gyro should be standards going forward, get on it industry!

Incredible how much these people are willing to waste everyone's time just to boost their hateful but shallow messages.
I hope history remembers them as pathetic sooner rather than later.

Damn I wouldn't get surprised if companies get together to remove this emoji too 😔.

Vampire Survivors: Ode to Castlevania is out now and it's a huge expansion

Most of the characters are hidden at the start and you pretty much have to play as everyone if you want them all, lots of work ahead of me, still working towards Richter...

I wonder if they'll say this is the final update (again) and how long it'll be before the next

Steam purchases now clearly state you're just getting a license not ownership

What a nothingburger, both this bill and the disclaimer, it doesn't change much for the people that just want to pay and get the download as they won't care either way, nor does it actually protect your rights at all. "Hey I am going to rob your house in the future, but it's fine and legal because I just told you I will."
