Quoting: LomkeyBigger problem epic can just the same nothing stopping them if unity gets away with it.

Epic confirmed years ago, and again [External Link] recently, they cannot change the licensing terms for existing developers. The license you get for Unreal is perpetual on the version you have.

Quoting: GrifterI'm sure I'm lacking all the knowledge, but could someone explain how it's possible for something to be deck verified and only protondb silver? It seems to me like there should be plenty of overlap, and if it works well enough to be deck verified it should be higher rated...? I dunno.

ProtonDB relies entirely on user crowdsourced reports, and the error rate on ProtonDB at times can be quite high. People using outdated systems, using launch arguments that screw things up and just adding launch arguments where they clearly don't know what they do (like DXVK Async which was only in older GE Proton releases and didn't work for DX 12 - I still see it a lot) and so on.

Quoting: dibzI wonder how this applies to stores like GOG, where the installers can be used on multiple computers with a single purchase.

Well, you can do the same on Steam anyway. But it does just add to the list of questions Unity need to clear up, especially since GOG provide the completely offline installers heh.

Quoting: YoRHa-2B

Currently it's only supported on Gamescope when ENABLE_GAMESCOPE_WSI=1 is set.

This actually only applies to the EXT_swapchain_maintenance1 part. present_wait is supported on (most) Mesa + Wayland setups regardless of Gamescope (but might be a bit weird on Gnome), as well as Nvidia + X11. Not sure about Nvidia + Wayland off the top of my head.

Sorry if the release notes didn't make this clear.

Thanks for the correction, made an edit :)

Quoting: Mountain ManI'm not going to get in a long, involved discussion about it, but "boring, woke trash" is probably the best description of Disney Star Wars. To be fair, modern Star Trek isn't much better.

Respectfully, I can't take anyone at all serious who uses "woke" as some kind of derogatory term. Just reminds me of the "this engine is woke" meme [External Link]. I've been thoroughly enjoying all the new ST and SW :)

Quoting: WorMzyGenuinely disappointed with this one. Do they go into any detail anywhere about why they're not doing a Linux release? :sad:

3rd party studios under Paradox as the publisher almost never do Native Linux. Quite different to Paradox Development Studios, so this is actually pretty normal. They also publish games from Iceflake Studios, Triumph Studios, Romero Games, Squeaky Wheel Studio Inc and so on all that don't do Native Linux.
