How hard are you guys pushing your pads? 😂 In all my years of gaming, I've never once had this issue.

Quoting: drjomsThe bug is NOT in Death Stranding.
Bug is in driver/hardware of Steamdeck. Dev was just nice enough to address it in game's code.
Bug should be submitted with valve/GPU/Driver maker.

See the article update done before you commented. I didn't mean it was specifically in the game, but the game shows the issue.

NVIDIA talks up RTX IO with GDeflate (used in DirectStorage 1.1) to speed up games

Quoting: DrMcCoyAre there any technical specs out there yet how GDeflate works? With that name, I assume it's based on DEFLATE (the classic compression algorithm used in ZIP and gzip)?

They had a previous blog post [External Link] going over some of the details, although that only mentions Windows whereas the new site clearly says it's cross-platform and mentions Linux directly.

Quoting: drlamb
Quoting: t3gHas anyone tried the 2.4ghz dongle with Ubuntu 22.04 or something with a newer 6.x kernel like Pop OS, Arch, or Fedora?
Yes, after flashing the beta firmware update it works in dinput/switch mode. That being said I'm still returning mine. The 2.4Ghz is nice but I cannot deal with the plastic on plastic joystick grinding I experienced on the ultimate in less than a week of use. The gulikit king kong 2 pro also has hall effect sensors AND has a metal ring around the joysticks and after using it I can't go back.

Hmm? Plastic on Plastic is almost every major controller out there though, I’ve never seen it as a problem?
