I love Chiaki.

Edit a couple of days later: That said, 1.10 has proven to be a dud for me. Stutters all over the place and a huge (around 1 sec) audio delay. Downgrading to 1.9.9 fixed all that.

I use Chiaki exclusively remotely. It's not perfect, but it's very, very good 95% of the time. At least the previous version is.

Yeah, this is something I've been stung by a number of times. We (PL) get some of the highest prices on Steam, often on par with Switzerland, even though we're not even remotely as well-off as people Western-European countries.

I get developers/publishers would have no clue about all those different currencies and just put in whatever Valve suggests, so I put the blame firmly on them.

They may be scaling the stream, but the UI is still tiny at 125% in Gnome. Oh, well, one step at a time.

you grab DRM free games (from stores like GOG)

If you have problems launching and closing games on Steam you will never get through „grabbing” anything from GOG or any other store.

That said, this appeals to me a lot.

I agree with darth above, GOG only care about Windows and are at best indifferent towards Linux. I know them being DRM-free aligns with many Linux users' values, but they really aren't doing anything to be attractive for us. And this "game preservation" thing only makes our lives more difficult.

It's a shame that the default preset is so blurry,

You haven't seen blurry until you've seen Expedition 33 on the Steam Deck preset. It's absolutely atrocious and disabling the SD lock is a must for the game to look somewhat presentable.

This, otoh, runs absolutely beautifully at 40 fps. One sore point is texture quality, it's very, very low and no apparent way to change it. HDR looks very nice. I was getting around 2 hrs battery life to Liam's one, must be the OLED talking.

The game has its flaws, but is very solid in general, you're in for a good time there, Liam.

Well, the new version will certainly run like shit on the SD, as all UE5 titles do. Perhaps we'll have at least some news of SD2 by then, though.

Fedora with Gnome on my laptop, POP on my desktop, Ubuntu with KDE on my office computer. I love them all Linuxes equally. :-)

Currently it does have an issue where swapping the mode during a match may crash it. Nice to see!

Yes, it is indeed nice to see.

A new Proton Hotfix is up and it makes the game run again.

I see no option for FSR on Steam Deck, though. Just TAA (like before) and XeSS. The latter improves things, but comes with problems all its own (shimmering opalising effect on textures). I remember this well from Robocop...
