Quoting: GuestCan't say I agree with the "this could actually help them [Aspyr, Feral and other porters] quite a lot when thinking about the bigger picture.".

I would be extremely surprised if they were still in the business (of porting games to Linux), say, an year from now.
In the short term, already started project will be released, sure. No point in throwing away the work done. But in the longer term? I don't see this working.

Time will tell if this is SteamOS/Steam Machines all over again or not, I guess.

Meanwhile I'm still waiting for a 64 bit Steam client, because I refuse to pollute my work machine with all the 32 bit runtime deal.

Well, i hope you're wrong on that given where you work ;)

I think no matter what, it's just too early to know.

Quoting: Fenix2412Interesting, may it be that Valve convinced AMD to open source the product and to change the "target" of it?

Possibly yeah. This was a thought that crossed my mind too.

Quoting: NaibOk so it is out and it is rough...

Surely it's not "out" if it has just entered Early Access? Have fun beta testing and remember to report the bugs to the developer.

Not early access.

Closed beta for backers only.

Which makes all their recent advertisements a bit false.

Let's also remember it was supposed to be out last month.

Quoting: richipThanks. Got it to work, as well. Had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the CrazyJustice.sh starter script. It's very rough, but I'm hopeful. I'm fine to wait. Unfortunately, I told my 10-yr old and now he's excited.

So what exactly did you do?

Edit: Fixed it.

Simply copy over libsteam_api.so from "Crazy Justice/Engine/Binaries/ThirdParty/Steamworks/Steamv142/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" -> "Crazy Justice/CrazyJustice/Binaries/Linux" and it will launch.

Quoting: g000hI don't suppose there is a list of titles which are known to be affected? From above comments I'm assuming the current list is this:

Rust
WarThunder

I don't remember exactly, but it's a much longer list than that. War Brokers that I wrote about in the last day is another. A lot of Unity titles had it.

Quoting: GuestThe best part about all this is now liam will have more articles to write
RIP SLEEP 2018 :D

Well, it remains to be seen how people will take us writing about what's essentially Wine a lot more often. Will see how it all goes, early days yet.

Thanks a lot, it's all thanks to our wonderful supporters that I'm able to report on stuff every day :) (barring weekends, gotta put my feet up some time...)

Quoting: dlove67Doom doesn't use DXVK(It's Vulkan native), so should have been unaffected by this change.

Sorry, I've made that clearer. This was with the latest NVIDIA driver.

Quoting: GuestSo now that I've had time to think about this news more, I thought I'd try add more discussion points.

Disclaimer: I personally find it odd that people are praising Valve so much here. Valve didn't make wine. Or dxvk. Or actually any of the tools that make this possible. They're just packaging it into Steam.

Let's be clear though, Valve did fund the development of DXVK - so essentially, yes they did make. They've been funding it through all but the first what, two releases?

I meant its original creation - I didn't think Valve was responsible for that?

Just really want to point out that Valve see and fund things that are very useful, and that's not to be underestimated, but I personally dislike the treatment that it's all and entirely Valve doing everything.

Thing is, I feel Valve have been exceptionally clear on the situation. Who people choose to champion is their business.

In the case of DXVK, they couldn't have been clearer even noting when funding started. The point is, while Valve didn't start these projects, it is the one that's pulling them together, funding them and making something bigger out of it. That benefits everyone too, since it's open source.
