Quoting: GuestKind of not sure what people are expecting Feral to update? The whole point of the Steam Deck is that it doesn't need games to be built specifically for it. Nobody is expecting all their Windows titles to be updated to target this one particular hardware device, so not sure why Feral is being singled out here.

Many Windows-only games are being updated for Steam Deck. Controller support, correct controller glyphs, readable text, support for the quick suspend mode, on-screen keyboard support.

This exactly. There's more too like sane default graphics settings, ensuring saves work cross-platform and with steam cloud and so on.

We're seeing a constant stream of games being updated for the Deck, it's a genuine question a lot of people asked about Feral ports - so we reached out and this is simply what they said.

There's no official GOG support for SteamDeck. But since the device has an open architecture, as we understand, you can install Windows and as such also run GOG games.

... or run your native Linux games from GOG on it?!?

Yeah, we did point out they seem to have forgotten that they do stock Linux games.

Quoting: Shmerllol that trailer is bizarre enough to be funny :grin:

The first one didn't support Linux

I see Linux is listed as supported for the first game on itch.io: https://sos.itch.io/mcpixel [External Link]

And it's on sale there now.

UPDATE: From the listing, it looks like it's using Adobe Air, which might a problem and reason Steam doesn't list it.

Good catch, noted.

Quoting: BielFPsBut I wonder how they'll handle cases like Borderlands 2 that, while having a "performant" native build, the last DLC can only be played through Proton.

IMO, if you can't play DLC because it's no longer updated or supported like that, it should just run through Proton - otherwise it's not the full content experience.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleDoes Feral get any money if people buy it now already?

Well, it would be dumb to have them advertised all over it, if people pre-ordered and they didn't get paid.

Quoting: Liam DaweI can confirm that with Proton 7 there are problems. After 20 minutes or so it stuttered to a crawl and then froze up tight. Could only hard reboot as whole system was unresponsive.

Sounds like out-of-RAM. You could monitor it with mangohud to confirm.

I was, it was not out of RAM.

Quoting: nenoroi suggest you to rename the title and edit your article cause on the github it clearly says Added support for EasyAntiCheat if the game has enabled a Linux module.

And you ask why people get hyped so fast you forget to add important things.

Boe Jiden: Come on LIAM

All people will drink your words, will cry and pollute proton DB >.<

The title is fine, it says "improvements" and that is an improvement. It does not claim anything else.

Quoting: Bogomips@Liam, did you encounter more crashes with Dying Light 2 (DX12)?

Since the update to proton 7 I can hardly pass the 30 minutes threshold. I will try with DX11 and maybe rollback to proton 6…

Edit: It seems to be a known problem https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5542 [External Link].

I can confirm that with Proton 7 there are problems. After 20 minutes or so it stuttered to a crawl and then froze up tight. Could only hard reboot as whole system was unresponsive.

Going back to Proton Experimental, it seems much better. Smoother, no freezing up.

Quoting: BeamboomHere's hoping that this will also make Cyberpunk 2077 work again, after the massive patch yesterday...!

Worked fine for me after the patch, checked again this morning with Proton 7 and still works fine for me.
