Free and open source level editor LDtk 1.0 is out now

Quoting: PhiladelphusHuh, so is it also a game engine? Or can you edit levels for use in another engine with it? I'm confused.
You would import what it creates into whatever project you're doing https://ldtk.io/docs/game-dev/loading/?menu=1 [External Link]

Ubisoft Connect on Steam Deck guide with SD Card access
30 Mar 2022 at 4:30 pm UTC

Quoting: Goggo66On my desktop computer (note that I don't have a Steamdeck...yet!) I just see a very short flash of a window until the launcher gets minimised to the tray. Don't know if it works on the Steamdeck and with gamescope...

In any case, here is a more extensive list of game IDs:

Oh my gosh, after a bit of fiddling getting the right place, it can totally work! Thanks for that. One game at a time though but hey better than nothing and a step forward.

Quoting: Goggo66You could use the launcher's command line option to autostart the game, e.g.

Assassin's Creed II: uplay://launch/4/0
Assassin's Creed Unity: uplay://launch/720/0

(those are the two games I have currently installed on my machine)
It won't help unless that also auto-hides the launcher, does it?

Quoting: rustybroomhandleDoes the Steam Deck have KDE Connect pre-installed at all? If not I think we should push for it.

Quoting: The Article You Just ReadKDE Connect does not come pre-installed and doesn't have a proper Flatpak package for Linux / Steam Deck.
Thanks for the pointless sarcasm, mature human.
You asked a question clearly answered by the article. Now you're moaning about me not being mature? Get a grip dude.

There actually is a (nightly) Flatpak package for KDE Connect in the KDE Apps repo. In short:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists kdeapps --from https://distribute.kde.org/kdeapps.flatpakrepo # adds the kdeapps repo, can be done though Discover settings
flatpak install org.kde.kdeconnect # can obviously be done though Discover
flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-download org.kde.kdeconnect # allow it to write to downloads, can be done though Flatseal


Then you just launch the app, pair and you should be able to send/receive files.
I'm not sure how to get the indicator to show up in Plasma though.
I'm aware but I don't think suggesting the masses use nightlies which could break...nightly, is a good idea. Plus, Syncthing is popular.

Valve gathering a list of Deck Verified games that have problems
25 Mar 2022 at 8:13 pm UTC

Quoting: KeebzHey! I'm the one who reported on Atelier Ryza 2 and was surprised to see that as the first game on the list. I didn't think anyone would see my comment on that. Can I ask how you bumped into it? I filed a ProtonDB report and a post on the game's community discussions. HOWEVER--I don't know if it is because I tried the updated Proton Experimental with it, or something else, but the "graphics settings not saving" thing is fixed now. But the game still performs poorly without dropping everything to Low. I don't consider 10-15 FPS in town playable.
Welcome. Not entirely sure how I came across it, just searched around for a while to see what titles came up :)

Looks like Valve are adding a feedback system for Steam Deck Verified (update: it's live)

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo just Verified? Might be good if they could figure something to ask about the other categories including Unsupported and Unknown.
The point isn't to crowdsource but to verify what's done.
