Looks like Valve sent out quite a lot of Steam Deck developer kits

Quoting: CorbenFor me the first game to try is probably Everspace 2!
What a surprise, hm? :whistle:
ERESY!!!
Everspace 2 deserves a BIG *VA monitor with deep blacks in a dark room and why not, ambilight/like leds on his back.
OLED !

Shame we don't have HDR though.

Quoting: Sojiro84It's a shame they share their video's on twitter.

Their streaming capability is garbage and all I see is 240p resolution video with plenty of compression artifacts because of the video compression.

And Twitter takes forever to load the higher quality but by then it's too late and I already reached the end of the video.

But it IS good to see developers playing around with it.
Indeed, Are hope is they could technically tweak as all the Decks will be the same hardware like they do for consoles. Would also be good for us AMD folk on desktop to boot :grin:

Quoting: EggbagI don't have many Steam games in my library to be honest, but once I get it I want to see how Battlefield games run lol. Of course I'll also be using RetroArch
It would have been nice to see the likes of the Dice devs ect messing with one, We could have at least some hope of the big boys seriously thinking about SD/Linux support.

BattlEye confirms Linux support for Steam Deck, will be opt-in like Easy Anti-Cheat

Quoting: scaineYeah, quite a few games have native EAC, such as 7 Days to Die. The problem has only ever been a) lack of native titles, which is compounded by b) lack of anti-cheat support via Proton.

This fixes b) finally.

Doubt it'll do much to help a) though, I'm afraid.
Indeed, Unfortunately it still means no buy from me.

Quoting: pete910Not interested in wine/proton support tbh, Would be more interested in more native games being shipped now that EAC/BE supports Linux. (I'm looking at the likes of you NWI)

Or is the support only through Wine ?
EAC and BattleEye have had native Linux support for a while. This was just to add support for them through Proton for Wine.
I knew battle eye did , didn't think EAC did though.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is out and works right away on Linux with Proton

Quoting: Liam DaweYes well as we know PC gaming and especially Linux gaming, there's a million different possibilities.
Indeed, Though there looks to be a new driver for yours so it may be fine now. :grin:

Quoting: pete910@Liam, I noticed on your steam review you had issues with FPS drops have you managed to solve the problem ?
Nope, the issue persisted. There's an entry on ProtonDB [External Link] with someone showing the same issue, with ProtonDB still giving it the thumbs up on that entry which I find hilarious because it makes it unplayable.
Driver issue maybe somewhere between the game/Proton/Driver ? :unsure:

As stated runs fine on mine .

Proton Experimental gets DEATHLOOP working on Linux with AMD GPUs (update: NVIDIA too)

I feel like I really need to get my hands on an AMD GPU…
About damn time you did !!!
