Quoting: Tom BSo that means that nvidia GPUs can work with freesync and it's only a driver whitelist of "certified" monitors that controls which ones work. How long before someone hacks the driver to bypass the whitelist and have any freesync display work with an nvidia gpu?

There will be no need for such things, as mentioned in the article it will be a control panel option for anyone to turn on for any monitor and try it themselves.

There could be even more there, some titles on ProtonDB didn’t have enough reports to have a rating. I’m still surprised DOOM only has a “Gold” rating there, as it’s basically flawless for me outside of one windowing issue that was solved with a simple ALT+Enter to re-do the fullscreen.

How regular is ProtonDB being updated? There have been some updates (like the now working Multiplayer) since the first ratings...

Well, ProtonDB is entirely based on user reports so they should always be taken with a pinch of salt. Still, it's the best indication we have as there's nothing else like it (outside of WineDB of course but Proton is its own beast). Going by the ProtonDB stats page [External Link], they get over a hundred reports a day across titles.

there is this PPA [External Link] which sadly hasn't been updated since October last year

Isn't that only the development GPU drivers? This PPA [External Link] has received many updates, as late as last month (2018-12-20).

Yes, they're two different PPAs run by the same team. The one I linked to holds these beta drivers hence me mentioning it.

Quoting: dpanterCould this be the solution to the launcher madness? :whistle:

In one way yes! I mean, Galaxy isn't even on Linux and this will allow you to download any of your GOG games easily.

Quoting: NezchanAren't 505 Games the same ones who reneged on their promise to make a Linux version of Bloodstained? Be sure not to hold your breath.

They're only the publisher and dropping support isn't always down to them remember.

Quoting: dorronIt's time they finish and release it...if they want to keep making changes, they can do it afterwards.

It's absurd how long it's taking them to release this game.

Entitled much?

I think it's more down to how a lot of people still don't get that different people in a team do different things. Artists work on better art, while the programmers get the code for the additional levels sorted and so on. It's surprising how many people think developers posting about new stuff here and then, suddenly think they're not doing all they can to get it released.

In The Valley of Gods - Campo Santo - Possibly not in 2019

Is it correct to say that it's by Campo Santo? Because it's a Valve game now :P

They're still the developer.

But Valve bought the studio. Campo Santo doesn't really exist anymore.

Well the Steam store page still states it's Campo Santo and just because they joined Valve doesn't mean they automatically take Valve's name.

But if you go on the Valve homepage [External Link] they list ITVOG as one of their own games. The guys work at Valve HQ. Other people from Valve might even have joined the team. It's a Valve game :P

You're probably right. It's different every time, as some developers retain their name with the new owner acting as publisher. In this case, it's likely the Steam page needing updating.
