Quoting: SlyvanThe linux .so library is missing again... i hope this will be checked more often. I hate the fact that no one tests for linux/the steamdeck. This happens so frequently that i almost think it's on purpose...

Oh the they hate that gaming is moving on to a open platform so they diff try to make it a headache on purpose cause aint no way they keep forgetting to tick the Linux box or forget the .so files lol

Quoting: Mountain ManHow dare Nintendo protect its intellectual property!

Not whats going on here at ALL.. If anything they are twisting the DMCA laws here. Yuzu and in turn suyu does NOT even provide the keys to play the games you have to provide that yourself... And yuzu showing folks how to get their keys no way in ANY fashion broke any law

Quoting: fabertaweI quite enjoyed the Amazon Fallout series, more than I thought I would. I've only played "3" so far and the storyline didn't follow that, so was it based on "FNV" or "4" at all?

The show is cannon I am pretty sure it takes place between Fallout New Vegas and 4 but it may be after 4

Quoting: dpanterSo it's not EAC's fault and it's also not Apex Legends fault? Or... how is this message supposed to be interpreted? Doesn't seem like an admission of fault, more like Respawn saying "we're just gonna fix some stuff don't worry about it oh also some people were hacked or whatever probably random and unrelated dw gyze lol"

This soon after the hacks they are NOT going to actually detail what happened for fear of more breaches lol.. will be a long while before anyone knows what actually happened.. in a closed source project like AA/AAA games you never want to exposed known vulnerabilities due to not wanting to be attacked more.

In the Open source world we expose them to get the community involved in fixing it and/or just projecting the community

Well hopefully they use a compatible Anti-cheat so we can use it on Linux as I run a server and have seen a few hackers/cheaters and would like to run the anti-cheat on my server and still be able to play on my Arch install.. if not guess Palworld will get moved to my Windows VM

Quoting: TheRiddickEmulation
Translation

Actually completely different things that attempt to get the same end result.
Translation has universally been better when possible.

Wish folks would get that.. and understand due to translation games in proton ARE actually running native due to their api calls being translated to native linux calls and NOT emulated

I am fine with Devs not half assed "investing" into native binaries for games cause years past we got a lot of poor linux ports to be frank and alot of my native games don't even work anymore without alot of tweaks.. proton just click install and done 90% of the time on my end.. I do expect though as we continue to grow as a market they give us proper ports and not the pile of poo we got in the past

And yet all they really need to do is add the Linux EAC binaries as quite sure they did that would work just fine in lutris.. what a piece of work this guy is

Quoting: tohurinput lag from vsync has squat to do with refresh rate honesly

It has a lot to do with that I'd say. If refresh rate is low (60 Hz) and compositor waits for vertial sync, you'll notice lag. Tearing means compositor doesn't wait and draws even if it will result in jagged image, so you'll see updates before the full refresh cycle even happens, which in practice means lower latency (lag). That kind of scenario benefits from enabling tearing.

Scenario when your refresh rate is 144 Hz and more reduces the period of blanks low enough that you don't notice anything even if compositor waits for it. But more importantly, you need to have adaptive sync (VRR) in order to avoid unnecessary waits. That's an improvement of the old style vsync.

There was a thread about it here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/5185/

Here is a useful diagram:

Which is why for me KDE trumps GNOME as Freesync works out the box on wayland. Last time I tried gnome don't think freesync worked thus the bad experience on top of using vsync

Input lag can be caused by a whole host of other things, outside of what software you're using even. There's a spreadsheet out there somewhere detailing all of the input lag of just using specific game pads versus another set of gamepads. I've never had any issues with input lag on gaming myself, though that could be because I'm too old to notice. But then if I don't notice, does it matter if it's there? It's like a fart you don't smell.

Amusingly, the main reason I flip between gnome/kde right now is because File-roller is broken as far as being able to drag / drop files into Nautilus at the moment (something about the transition to a new GTK or something is lagging behind). So when I am attempting to copy software over to a CF card for my DOS/Win9x machines, I flip to KDE. This is where I don't really notice any difference whether I'm using wayland or xorg, gnome or kde. I guess if I were bored stiff, I could run some benchmarks on some games to see if Wayland+KDE or Wayland+Gnome or Xorg+KDE or Xorg+Gnome can inch out a few more FPS here or there, or have less lag... but frankly don't give a crap. I've listed the reasons why Wayland 'doesn't quite work for me yet' and that I still need Xorg for over and over again.

I've said many times over, there should be a DE somewhere in between KDE and Gnome. Gnome seems to go for the simplistic, get out of your way desktop environment, and has some useful little quirks in it. KDE goes for the 'give you all the options you could ever think of, and 10x more that you couldn't, because someone else on the internet thought it up.' approach. Both approaches are valid, but I think there would be a lot to say about a DE that could hit right in the middle of that. Or even if KDE could figure out a 'simplified' way.

I used to prefer Gnome over KDE because GTK had cooler themes / and felt less like Windows. Now Gnome just reminds me of macOS, which I have learned to despise :P

Yes thats true input lag can because by many things but in my case I think its a mixture of being locked to using Vsync and not having proper Freesync support in GNOME on wayland and the games I tend to play I notice the lag thus why KDE is just better in this regard. Honestly haven't liked GNOME since they have started down the path of mimicking Apple/macOS in every way possible.. the good, bad and the ugly.

Also KDE does have it in the plans to make a simplified settings app and just app settings in general for folks that just want the out the box experience and basic customization.. and have the rest the settings toggled on with a advanced toggle or something... Theres an Youtuber thats a KDE dev that talked about it some months back on one of his videos

There apparently are ways to enable Freesync within Xorg... I know G-Sync worked when I had nvidia. All three of my monitors support GSync but according to xrandr, only one of them supports Freesync. Wayland requires the DE apparently to enable it?

The wayland compositor for the DE needs to support it.. thus for GNOME they need to add it to mutter I think. KDE added it to kwin_wayland ages ago. as far as wayland goes KDE is quite ahead of GNOME as they will be adding HDR in plasma 6 on wayland.. I tried to enable freesync on xorg before I completely swapped to wayland but could never get it to work properly.. on plasma wayland was a simple setting on the display configuration in the settings app
