Quoting: Purple Library GuyYeah, it's exactly what a Beta is for.Quoting: alka.setzerThe number of times "playable again" shows up on Proton release changelogs is a bit worrisome..To be fair, this is the beta of the new upcoming version. It would be a bigger problem if new point releases of the stable version showed a lot of that. Well, for all I know maybe they do.

Quoting: soulsourceThey were lucky. Just consider what happens if you launch a game like this and don't immediately find enough concurrent users for matchmaking to work...Not luck, effort. They had built up wishlists for quite a while to a big amount before launch. And a demo on itch previously too.

Quoting: MohandevirWell, that certainly would be something to see.They also teased on Mastodon "Some BIG announcements incoming over the next few weeks. Stay tuned...", so I wonder what that could be. Exciting.A System76 handheld! Lol!

Quoting: InterknetRemember when we used to reiterate the importance of reading code that you download online? Just me?People don't expect that downloading what is a new look, will execute random code. No one should have to go and fully inspect everything they download, the OS needs safeguards which here are clearly lacking.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleStill hoping this gets hacked into Proton (and by extension SteamOS) in place of the current global FSR.As far as I know it’s basically impossible due to how FSR2+ work.

Quoting: voytrekkIs this something that we should be using in Lutris now? GE hasn't released a Wine-GE-9.x yet.Wine-GE is pretty much no longer a thing with GE-Proton and umu together.
Respawn release statement and update on the Apex Legends hacking situation

Quoting: dpanterSo it's not EAC's fault and it's also not Apex Legends fault? Or... how is this message supposed to be interpreted? Doesn't seem like an admission of fault, more like Respawn saying "we're just gonna fix some stuff don't worry about it oh also some people were hacked or whatever probably random and unrelated dw gyze lol"Reads like it was a problem in Apex they're patching to me.
chiaki4deck PlayStation to Steam Deck streaming app v1.6.4 adds a few useful options

Quoting: damarrinYou do realise Chiaki works with PS4 as well?I am aware, i meant dusty as in I don’t use it. Not even plugged in.
Personally, I find many games much improved on the Deck's smaller screen. Plus, I can go to another room and not listen to the PS4's hugely loud fan.
Remembering the login pin is a very welcome addition to an otherwise already excellent app.

Quoting: elmapulYeah it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense on why it's done for gaming. I don't get it either, and would be curious to know if any readers know why they're doing it.Quoting: Liam Dawewich make no sense, i can understand netflix giving us lower resolutions thinking it may be easier to break their DRM and as result this content leaking on pirate websites with max resolutions... (it leak anyway, at least make sense they try to prevent)Quoting: legluondunetSteam has a similar service with Geforce Now, but you do not have access to all your games, it depend on devs authorizations.Before that, we need all these streaming services to stop screwing with Linux giving us a lower resolution.
Soon we will no more need a gaming console, nor install or tweak them, to play games on Linux, we will just need a good internet connection. And we will no more need to buy expensive graphic card, with Geforce Now you can play on your TV in 4K/60fps/RayTracing if you have a good internet connection.
but gaming? the resolution dont mater for an interactive exp, pirating the imagen isnt the samething unless you are talking about cutscenes (maybe music as well).
