Quoting: toorthey didn't advertise it, but they did add FSR with this update. Might help with the performance.

finally I can view the most eyestraining and distractingly aliased shading ever put to code with marginally better performance and upscaling, thank you sandfall

Quoting: EikeDebian is back in town! :heart:

I'd been wondering how one of the most well established distros had even disappeared from the stats at all.

Most people just use distros based on Debian rather than Debian itself. Which is a shame - I love Debian's simplicity and ease of use, and honestly it could probably work as a baby's first distro too. Either way, glad to see it back on the charts, love to see my Debian getting the recognition it deserves.

That's a shame. Happy they don't wanna do business with studios comfy with AI, but cancelling a project altogether? That kinda sucks. Hope it can resurface without the AI garbage someday, I love this franchise with at least three quarters of my heart

Quoting: eggroleI'm neutral on AI (if the product is good, I don't care either way), but I would like to point out that the example of Darth Vader in Fortnite from the article was, from what I understand, a smashing success that the players greatly enjoyed.

You can argue about where the training data comes from and if you don't want to buy it, don't. Heck, I even support your decision. I'd even call it noble, but understand the the vast majority of people simply don't care how the sausage is made as long as it is delicious. Our whole world is filled with literal exploitation for things like rare earth metals in our gadgets, and almost no one even bats an eye.

Your entire profile on this website is dedicated to defending the honor of AI, why should I listen to you?

Quoting: eggroleIf AI is good enough that you can't tell and need a disclosure, who cares? I suppose for some there is a "moral" component, but as I've said before the vast majority simply wants a good product - morality never even enters the chat.

yeah uh maybe that's a problem? maybe people SHOULD care? maybe morality SHOULD enter the chat?

nah, let's just throw our hands up and give up like you. giving up's always done so much for the world.

repugnant mindset.

Whuff, seems a bit premature to me but I guess I'm not as smart as the people working on this. Hopefully they'll fix non-mouse-controlled cursors not wanting to show up on Wayland by then or else X4 is cooked for me.

Alien: Isolation crashes on startup

I played Alien: Isolation start to finish on Wayland last year. Could be something else youre facing, or a recent regression.

Using AMD for my PC. Consistently crashed on my PC and on Steam Deck in gaming mode (both wayland), but worked fine on those same systems on X11 and desktop mode (both x11). This has been the case since the Steam Deck launched and is why it uses Proton by default. I feel confident in calling it a Wayland-origin issue.

Very select games have problems (Alien: Isolation crashes on startup; X4: Foundations doesn't display its cursor when using controller due to Wayland's broken virtual cursor functionality), but by and large the vast, VAST majority of games work, and games using Proton are always functionally identical on Wayland

Quoting: ScottCarammellUnfortunately it *does* require the Steam Linux runtime to function it appears, working as sort of a pseudo-DRM, so it's not quite DRM-free as the Windows and Mac versions are. Still, better than nothing.

Hard to call it DRM when the Steam Linux runtimes are open source [External Link], and all it takes is some developer effort to make the runtimes available in any Linux game launcher, completely legally. In fact, that's what UMU [External Link] already does.

All you need is someone motivated enough to implement (or copy) the Pressure Vessel and Steam Linux Runtime launcher bits for the purpose of running native games. (With a downloader and selector for the available runtime versions preferably, so that Steam isn't required at all.)

I was not aware of this at the time and figured it'd be more work than it's worth getting this working, thx for the info

Quoting: AsciiWolfDoes the native port work on a standard Linux system?

I've seen people say it doesn't work for them, but for me at least it does - and it runs MUCH better than through Proton. Still not great mind you (~40 FPS in most areas), but still better (Proton was like ~20 FPS most of the time).

Are these for steam deck? 40fps is pretty good for steamdeck for this type of game so If they can get the last BG city running at that, then its good. (BG being the most fps taxing part of the game)

Nope, this was on my PC! My standard-issue, built from scratch PC.
