Quoting: AsciiWolfWhat about the original version? Is it still available?When launching you get the option to launch the new or the classic version.
By the way, I still dream of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars being re-released on Steam.

Quoting: SoulprayerThe mouse capture issue on multi-monitor setup on Linux is still not fixed :(Yeah that one is a bit frustrating. Since you have an AMD GPU, you could try Gamescope?

Quoting: scaineAt the time I took the snapshot, Destiny 2 had a player drop-off. It was not in the top 100 at that time. You can see it on SteamDB. Doing the top 100 based on current players is certainly not foolproof. I will look at doing another way as well soon :)Quoting: GuestWait, where is destiny 2. Shouldn't it be in the top 100?Yeah, it's 25th overall for me right now, 23rd by daily players. I wonder if the list changes by time of day so much that even the top-25 can drop out briefly. Maybe when the US is asleep?

NVIDIA initially put the wrong changelog up. This has been corrected now.

Quoting: GroganHmmm... that doesn't bode well that there are quantities of "refurbished" Steam Decks already.This is perfectly normal for quite literally any hardware. There’s really nothing to look deeper into.
1) People not happy and returning them
2) Returns of defective units, repaired.
Looks like Valve will sell refurbished Steam Decks

There are a fair amount of little bugs, and in my fair amount of hours I did have one crash to the desktop but I am loving it overall.

As for the stutter, that could work but I haven't fully tested that and it's not properly available on Steam Deck until SteamOS 3.5 which no one should be actually using normally anyway.

Quoting: poiuzSorry, but that's not "working same-day". There are just too much issues to workaround. Makes you wonder what went wrong since it was a long time in early access. But maybe it gets better with the actual release in september.Well, you can set Proton Experimental and it loads, works and you can play. So, factually, it *is* working on release day. Yes there's issues, but there's lots of issues on Windows too, the Steam forum is full of bug reports.
On macOS the situation is not much better: Seems the game page claims compatibility although it's simply not released, yet. Shouldn't there be some kind of validation for Steam releases?
Concerning the stutter: VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library doesn't actually fix these issues? I thought the intention was to emulate Windows' shader behaviour.
