Optional EAC. Optional as in the server decides whether it is used, so public servers generally enable it, but you can run your own without it.
It also seems to have issues still. My friend ran a server with EAC enabled. I would experience regular disconnects when opening inventories. I am the sole Linux user in the group and I was the only one affected. He disabled EAC on the server but the issues continued. I then remembered I could disable EAC on the client too, and the issues stopped occurring immediately.

I am very excited for this. Will be an easy purchase for me if it's done well.

Proton 9.0 now in Beta with improved game compatibility for Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: sonic2kkIt's really a testament to how far we've come. A lot of work from so many talented people has brought us to this point. Anyone remember Wine Steam and the workarounds to get it to run, like --no-cef-sandbox? Not to mention the work done on the Mesa graphics drivers side to get games running as good as they do now.
I remember when not having the right fonts installed would be an issue :grin:

Truly is some fabulous work they've done. I too was an early sceptic and worried it would result in less Linux gaming by having developers shortcut via Proton, degrading the native scene and then having Proton collapse and leave Linux even more barren than before. I'm happy to have been proven wrong.

Valve seeing increasing bug reports due to Steam Snap - other methods recommended

I have had nothing but issues with Snaps. I tried them again recently, with a fresh Ubuntu install, and various applications were just outright broken, as always seems to be the case. Flatpaks worked perfectly and they're my go to choice if a binary isn't available.

Narrative-focused expansion Astral Planes released for Stellaris

I've long loved Paradox games, and have in the past defended their DLC system. But they seem to have more and more bugs with serious ones that must have been evident during QA, and their DLC costs keep rising even as the individual DLCs feel far slimmer. I used to buy Paradox games and DLCs at launch for full price, but now I wait for sales and pick them up cheaper.

Quoting: CheesenessJust to clarify here (for anybody who didn't know, I'm working on this game)
I've had this on my wishlist for a while and really looking forward to getting it for my Deck. I loved Freedom Force when I was younger and have been playing that on my Deck. Good luck with the release!

Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf being delisted so grab it quick in this bundle

Boardgames suffer the same. There are a raft of Warhammer titles that were produced by Fantasy Flight Games, including ongoing regular release card games, that were all completely cancelled and went out of print purely because Warhammer pulled the licence. There is a good trade in the out of print games as Warhammer stuff is always sought after, and I've done well out of it, but it is ridiculous.

Steam gets overhauled with new overlay, Steam Deck big stable update

Whatever update just came out has killed desktop mode for me. Attempting to access it just reboots my Deck immediately and now it is on verifying installation and has been for ages. Am on stable branch, had an update show up and complete, and was working fine before that.
