Quoting: MekaDragonIn my head the development order is Proton Hotfix -> Proton Experimental -> Opting in a release candidate in a stable Proton version -> Stable Proton version.Pretty much yes. As the article states, these changes were previously in Hotfix and Experimental, and now they're about to roll out to the main Proton version.

Quoting: officerniceI wonder how long Feral will exist. Proton more or less took away their porting job.They do other platforms that are far more lucrative for them including Android, iOS, Switch, macOS and Meta Quest.

Update 17/08/24, 9:00 UTC: Proton Hotfix was updated with the needed fix to get it working. Valve has set this by default for it so you should uncheck any forced compatibility options you have set. Nice to see Valve react so quickly once again.

Quoting: MohandevirHow long has it been since they started working on version 3.6?It first landed into Preview back in early May.
I'm still on the stable branch, on my LCD Steam Deck... Am I missing a lot?

Quoting: JarmerI too bounced off the earlier game(s), but they always have such a rabid fanbase. I am keeping my eye on this one and will definitely give it a try when it comes out.I don't think any previous game rating matters, they're all old and this is properly next-gen, completely different games.
For proton support, it should be good. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl has a platinum rating on protondb, so that's at least good news.

Quoting: ripperYou are free not to use it, i’m just reporting what is there, and we’ve had plenty of comments in the past with people saying it’s good so 🤷♂️You can take the chance at 3 games for £4.99 and may end up with some top releases like Manor Lords, V Rising, Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT and others.But likely you won't. Fanatical has great deals, but let's not promote gambling, please.

Quoting: Lib-Instlinux needs actual real native games and more people will come. emulation isnt ideal.That has quite literally nothing to do with it. The average gamer doesn't give a single crap about the game being native or not. Why should they? If they click play and it runs, that's all people really need. This argument has been done to death by now.
Certain Steam Deck plugins via Decky Loader are causing bootloops

Quoting: TrainDocThanks for getting the word out Liam! I've been busy with work and life stuff so stuff has gotten mixed up. To those wondering, we're currently working on an MOTD feature to allow us to better notify users of issues with plugins and we're working on delisting broken plugins.That all sounds great, nice work :)
As of the most recent pre-release of Decky, v3.0.0-pre7, we now have a screen and logic that catches these loops and stops decky and should allow you to find and remove any of the effected plugins. We also have future plans to ensure plugins are easier to report as broken but we don't have anything concrete in that regard yet. Have a lovely week everyone.
