Quoting: CatKillerI wonder if the focus is going to be Borealis (Steam on Chromebooks)? Steam on x86 Chromebooks is all well and good, but there are am awful lot of Arm Chromebooks out there. Having Arm performance expertise in-house would make it a whole lot easier to target those.

I reckon some of it is going to be towards whatever the Deckard VR headset turns out to be, since it will seemingly have a standalone mode.

Heh the feature list was from Steam. I assume by “original” they simply meant unedited. I originally played it on Amiga.

Quoting: WoodlandorI thought we were supposed to be mad at Payday 2 for dropping the native Linux port :wink:

My impression is that Liam thinks that people upset about them dropping the native port for Proton are elitist, because it shouldn't matter whether or not it's native, as long as we can run the game.

That’s not what I’ve said. I understand that people will be upset about a Native port being dropped. But there’s a difference between playing games because games are fun, and people who just refuse to play a game because of Proton - my point is about Native zealot behaviour. Do whatever you want, it matters not to me and I will continue to cover all ways of gaming on Linux.

Quoting: hardpenguinIt... it didn't have controller support before? B.. but they had a Nintendo Switch release already 😵‍💫

A lot of console ports a done by a third-party, and they end up having their own code-base that's separate.

Indeed, so Native or not, the risk is pretty much the same unless the developer is truly dedicated to their Linux build which is...rare.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualcan you fix it yourself?

My guess is no.
They can test all they want, but unless they're willing (and capable) to contribute to WINE/Proton I don't see how this can work.
The game is now officially unsupported in Linux. That's why they removed the native version.

I think Valves take on this is that it's actually supported, but by Valve, not overkill.

I'd like some clarity from Valve on that though. Devs can say they "commit to get it working on Proton", but as pleasereadthemanual asks above, what does that really mean? Who's on the line if you buy that game, play it for 10 hours, then the dev screws it up and it stops working?

Realistically, by Valve's own refund rules - no one is one the line. After 2 hours / 2 weeks of buying, that's all the protection you realistically get from buying anything on Steam "Native" or not. They've only given refunds outside of that in special cases.

Quoting: ripper81358Great to see that the MESA devs are able to allow for Raytracing support. However i guess the "out of the box" support will still be limited to games that use Vulkan as the graphics API.

Shouldn't be since it worked for Control which is DX12.
