Be sure to check out our Steam Tracker.
In the Steam Languages graph, shouldn't Spanish include all the variants and not just the one from Spain? I think it would show a more relevant information regarding the overall usage.
Steam splits it and I only pick the currently most popular overall languages to add in.

Quoting: MohandevirI'm wondering if it's not the biggest missing link for the SteamOS 3.5 release and the Sephiroth official reveal. **Fingers crossed**
I think if it was for Deckard then it would have a much higher priority than it has seen. I imagine how it's being rendered is different, especially since from the previous leaks we saw it would have a standalone mode.
I'm not going to argue about that; you are in a much better position to know... It's just that all these leaks about Sephiroth and SteamOS 3.5 that's taking ages to reach stable... What is holding them back? What roadblock Valve met? It might just be coincidence, then.
I have no info other than what’s already public. SteamOS 3.5 is taking time just because of how much it’s adding in and they clearly want to keep pushing HDR which has taken a lot of work :)

Valheim testing a Unity upgrade with lots of optimizations

Quoting: grumpytoadIt annoys me that these early access games are supposedly amazing when opened on kickstarter, but by the time they actually get released (if ever) they are so behind the curve graphically that it doesn't make sense to get them if you're someone that doesn't buy into early access. It's almost like the developer realising that a complete polished game is too much to handle in the race for an up-to-date looking game, that they force the end user to consume a half game while it still looks ok.
Not sure what that has to do with Valheim? It never did a Kickstarter and their graphic style is very specific.

HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED 2 - Turbocharged is good fun with some issues on Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: BlackBloodRumThis looks fun! :grin:

Another one noticed today, is that it will sync your game settings via Steam Cloud so that can be a nuisance swapping between PC and Steam Deck. Please developers, just stop doing that.
If people don't want their saves synced, they can always disable steam cloud save sync. Generally, I prefer to sync my saves across devices though. :-)
It's not a question of saves, that's the point of Steam Cloud. But syncing settings? That's a no.

Yeah seeing lots of reports of it entirely broken on Steam Deck now.

Quoting: Talon1024IMHO, this is a good example of why we should insist on native Linux ports instead of relying on WINE/Proton for everything.
And what would that solve exactly? Just being Native doesn't mean it was tested or actually works. We've seen a great many Native versions in the past and still every month release with major problems.

Quoting: EikeThere's no change without some regression...

Despite having the option to keep me logged in enabled, I have to relogin every session on my phone. Unlike with the old system.
Odd, first report I've seen and across three browsers and my mobile I'm not seeing the issue.

I would suggest entirely clearing all cookies and session data, everything for GOL in your browser. Possible something got stuck somewhere. If it still keeps happening send all details to the forum as mentioned in the article.

GE-Proton 8-21 released fixing up FSR issues

Quoting: BlackBloodRumA minor note on your instructions; for KDE users the Deck method would work identical for a desktop user, they're not Deck specific. It may be better to list "manual" and "automatic" install perhaps. It seems a bit odd to separate the deck instructions, when realistically they apply to desktop just as much. Both KDE Discover and Gnome's equivalent (whose name escapes me right now) have Flatpak integration[1]. So the installation should be the same for both, if installing ProtonUp-Qt using graphical tools. :smile:

Not a criticism, just an observation. I mean no offence. :happy:

[1] Unless they use Gentoo like me and deliberately didn't install KDE Discover on their KDE :tongue:
I may rework it, but it's not as simple as you think.

Ubuntu uses its own store, which doesn't integrate Flatpak but it does for Snap / deb. Then what about Budgie desktop? Cinnamon? Xfce? Lots of different desktops on Linux remember.

Edit: did an edit that I think works for everyone now.
