Proton 7.0-6 now in testing for Steam Deck & Linux desktop
22 Dec 2022 at 2:04 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestI thought they were doing Proton Next now, are they dropping that, or are they considering the Beta to be too experimental for the option?
I assume it will go into Proton Next before they're ready to release stable, it's what they did last time.

This unmounts the removable drive, it does not physically eject it
... well duh.

Did they really have to write this? :unsure:
You've seen the Steam forums right? People in general are not particularly smart :P

Quoting: azoriusmageI just grabbed the Mac Beta and it crashes immediately. I am using MacBook Air M2 do you expect it to run?

Thanks

I would suggest asking the developer directly, or seeking help on a mac website.

Quoting: Benom"Notice: Notice: Unreal Tournament 3 X is no longer available on the Steam store."

... that didn't age well i guess
It's because they're updating an old page for the new edition.

Quoting: Liam DaweGood luck with it.
I got a reply that it works as intended and that I'm supposed to keep waiting (or buy it again).
That doesn't sound right at all. Not saying you're not being honest, but I don't quite believe they said that to a missing key.

AMD Radeon RX 7000 launched today for the select few able to beat the crowds

Not to be picky but
Stock was, as expected, very limited.
Gibbo on OCUK (Where you got yours from) stated he had a 1000 + reference cards + the AIB's so good deal more than the 4080 had tbf.

What he didn't expect is to sell the lot in 20 minutes :shock: He reckoned around a few 100 at most.

I certainly didn't think they'd be that popular given their performance.
If I'm putting my payment details into something that even right then says it's in stock, I expect it to be in stock. They've now announced today they oversold it.

Whelp. Got told today by Overclockers that even though it said in stock when i paid, it actually wasn't. So I've got a probably multi-week wait for my new GPU.

Here's how to get The Witcher 3 working on Steam Deck after the next-gen update

Quoting: eldarionMy question for steam deck users would be if you actually notice any difference between the original and the next gen version. With a small screen, there should be almost none.

The texture improvement is, in theory, unnoticeable on small screens. The ray tracing thing is, as we can see on multiple comparation videos, almost indistinctable from the original (which, by the way, means the dev team did a great work with shadow simulation).
Text / UI scaling options, new content, new camera controls etc. There's lots of improvements to see.
Is it running at higher FPS, with AMD FSR 2.1?
FSR appears to only be in DX12.
