I got it the last time you made a article about it. Seems very nice. I just got in the training map to do some practicing, since I do not like to jump blind on online matches.

The lighting illumination was almost fixed, there still some artifacts in a couple objects on the map, but nothing severe as it was before.

Black Mesa is very buggy for me, on a RX570 card. Only the beta version works more or less stable, but at a cost of very low performance, even turning down graphic quality settings.

It is a Source engine game, but is nothing like Valve games, or other projects I had tested. Looks like the developers did not have a AMD card or simply didn't care for the quality of the Linux port.

Too bad because the game looks promising, but to play it as is right now is a disappointing experience for me. I tried to get a refund a while ago, before the released a beta that allowed me to start to play it. I regret not getting a refund the day I bought it, naively hopping that the they would make it playable in a short time.

Liam, how is the gamepad support? The Steam page says partial support, and that's never a good sign for couch time.

Wow, never seen that settings in all these years running Steam. I did set it for Linux already.

Quoting: liamdaweYeah, it's not ideal and it only works if you set one platform too (an issue for dual-booters). Still, better than nothing, just need Valve to actually direct users towards the setting.

Where is this setting, I can't find it.

Well, Inafune had already throw the name of old Japanese developers in the mud with Might No. 9, now Igarashi just run a bus over it.

Never thrust those guys again. The next one asking for money, claiming to be a developer from a beloved old franchise, will be received as a scammer.

Looks like somebody is a big fan of Cowboy Bebop.

Quoting: KohriasYou are really plaing an fps game with a gamepad on PC? Why would you handicap yourself that much?

No, I am not. I don't consider the steam controller a mousepad. More like two mouses with a small keyboard and a gyroscope for fine aiming. Which gives more control than mouse and keyboard and it's also faster. All of this well disguised under a gamepad-like shape.
You mean you haven't seem the youtube videos demonstrating this aspect of the steam controller?
Ah, it's great for strategy games too.

When I got the Steam Link with the Steam Controller I tried it for about, 5 to 15 minutes with CS:GO way back when. It was a terrible and uncomfortable experience. Even worse then the standard controller for the X and the PS4.

I am sure I probably needed to give it more time to learn the controller but thought it wasn't worth the hassle. Strategy games need a mouse and keyboard for me personally and shooters can work with a normal controller, but mouse and keyboard is still my preferred method.

Guess I do should look at the people using the Steam Controller like a pro. Can be interesting to see.

You succumbed to what I call "the first 5 minutes of desperation" of the Steam Controller. I suffered of it too. Got that horrible buyer regret. But I powered trough it, slowly got my muscular memory together and know I can play it fine.

But for me, is just 80% of the capabilities of a mouse/keyboard. You can use it just fine in any non-competitive game. Third person games like Tomb Rider feel great, because it blends the controls of a gamepad (that the game was made for) with a mouse-like precision. When I play L4D2 with my friends, I only go back to a mouse when the shit really hits the fan and we need to really take it serious to pass some difficult part. I play in the same level as anyone in a M/K on the SC.

Is not a perfect controller. I keep a DS4 for the "Twin Stick Shooter"genre, where I find the SC lacking, at last for me.

But the most important thing to remember is: we are in the PC. We can use whatever device we want. You can choose the best controller to the game you are playing. I have the 5 gamepads and the SC is the one I use the most.

While other companies may like having their own online store, things aren't always rosy for consumers. Having to install several clients on your computer is a shore, and the experience outside Steam for me was terrible. To this day I still get angry at the idea of installing Ubisoft's client to play their games, such bad piece of software that was. EA's one also can't hold a candle near Steam in terms of resources.

While for some Steam may come as a prison, for me is a very nice and organized place to organize my collection.

I have this problem too.

Interesting, your machine is similar to mine but you are using a Nvidia card. So is definitely a issue with the game engine, not the drivers.
