Quoting: WorMzyWho makes up these percentages? People checking statcounter.com to see who's checking statcounter.com? :huh:
Their stats code across 1.5+ million websites.

Quoting: Jimmann123This is the only site claiming battleye is enabled on steam deck. I've seen no one playing online on ark via steam deck and the game is still classified as unsupported.
Not “claiming” anything. It’s right there in their release notes.

Proton Experimental brings more HDR + Steam Overlay hack for Easy Anti-Cheat from EOS

Quoting: Skormax
Added hack to allow Steam Overlay to function with EAC EOS (Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Online Services) games
So, guys, what does this basically mean? Are we still burdened by this stupid Easy AntiCheat or we can finally play e.g. Destiny 2 on SD without dual-booting?
It simply means the Steam Overlay will actually work, for the games it didn't before. Nothing about EAC support has changed.

Vulkan API update brings Video Extensions for Accelerated H.264 and H.265 Encode

Quoting: soulsourceI just saw this toot [External Link], and now I'm wondering if one really needs to worry about licensing if one uses those APIs...
Or, worse, if one needs to worry about MPEG licenses if one uses unrelated parts of Vulkan...
Kind of an overly alarmist take. The API being able to do it, doesn't mean you have to use it. You're not subject to patents you don't use - if they even cover this.

Quoting: BoldosIt is actually quite playable; has been for quite some time :-)
I have sunken quite some number of hours into playing it during the past 1,5 years or so....

Anyway, it is nice to see it come out of Early Access after a century or two of development :grin:
What it hasn't been that lo....oh my god it's nearly 2024.

Quoting: NezchanHoly cow, it's actually coming out? I backed that years ago, and eventually turned off their updates because they were advertising other games too much. So it had completely fallen off my radar. Wild to see it pop up again like this.

Trailer looks decent though.
Yeah, they became a publisher too. The spamming of other games across updates for unrelated games can often be quite annoying, lots of publishers do it now.
