Quoting: ajgpAny link to the changelog so that I can see what changes they have made to time played tracking? I cant locate anything on website or twitter about this update.
From their wording about it being in the database, I assume it's for the accounts system in their SQL. Edit: Found it [External Link].

Quoting: MorguldirHey Liam, how did you find out about this?
Linux depots that appeared here:

That doesn't explain how he found those steamdb changes, I assume liam doesn't check the GRID 2019 depots every day.
As noted at the bottom, it was a tip from someone. Specifically, they mentioned it in Discord as we have a dedicated channel for people to post tips in. Additionally, we have a bot in IRC that detects Linux being added to things.

Quoting: sarmadDoes the editor work on Linux?
Yes, the screenshot in the article is mine, running it on Linux. I even explained that above the picture...
Well, you mentioned the SDK, which doesn't necessarily include the editor.
Well, UNIGINE does things differently. The SDK is basically the whole thing, with different SDKs being which edition it is: Community, Community Pro, Engineering and Sim.

Quoting: scaineAw man, I really wanted to try this - looks like an accessible Hollow Knight. But it doesn't detect my wired Xbox360. I'm gonna give xboxdrv a shot, see if that does the trick.
Weird. My Logitech F310 worked out of the box, what I recorded with!
Yeah, first game I've come across that can't detect a wired 360! It's not working with xboxdrv either. I also tried launching it form big picture - obviously the gamepad is fine in that, but then nothing when I launch the game. I'll check the Steam discussions and see if it's a general thing, a wired 360 thing, or a Linux Mint thing.
Do you have "steam-devices" installed?

How-to: upscale old games on Linux
12 Apr 2020 at 9:08 am UTC Likes: 1

Quoting: WorMzyMy point is that the article title makes it seem like this is a Lutris-specific thing, but the article is about a "game manager"-agnostic solution which just happens to be usable in Lutris.

If the author wants to include Lutris-specific instructions, that's their prerogative. I just think "How-to: upscale old games on Linux" works perfectly well as a title (although "on Linux" is redundant) and doesn't potentially put off some potential readers who don't think the article will be useful for them since they don't use Lutris.
Fair point about Lutris, have removed it from the title. Also, "on Linux" is not at all redundant and I've explained this each time people say it, that's for the SEO :)
