Quoting: StevenGreetings!

Personally, I think what they are saying is a bit absured. I have over 4,000 hours in Rust and the cheating is as bad as ever. I feel like they believe they are doing a bang up job protecting the players of their game, but in reality, it's not true. They mention cheaters "runining weeks of work." It's that way now and, from a players stand point, little is done to really crack down on it. My personal experience has been horrible wiht cheaters, with over 30+ reports with hackers banned, their system (EAC) doesn't work. You can be "flyhacked" falling out of a mini climbing a tree branch, but not a cheater flying around the map. Happens everytime I play the game. So, no, I don't buy their argument. Let's use the usual logic that I often hear about Linux and gaming. It's touted the platform is too small to care about, so we don't develop for it. Now, the Rust team is saying that thought Linux cheating is almost nonexistent, we don't develop for it. Yet, we'll keep churning out for Windows even though they cannot get a handle on it. Makes little sense. I know there are differences, but look at the numbers. How many Linux Rusters are there? Very, very little. Enabling it to work with proton doesn't seem like much of a risk. EAC isn't that great to begin with in a game like Rust, so maybe it's time to really care for the gamer and find something else that will work the way it's supposed to, protecting the Window gamer and Linux gamer. Afterall, we don't have a thousand Comomos running around to catch everyone. Thanks for reading, this is just my opinion.

Just to be clear, I don't think they mean that Linux users are cheaters, just that cheaters (currently on Windows) would switch to Linux just to cheat better.

That said, bs argument for sure. I never touched this game, and I take your word for it that it's in a garbage situation.

Unless you actually need the extra Vulkan extensions

For those of you that use proton, EDS3 is actually a significant extension once hooked up in dxvk (which I'm pretty sure would be done right away, if not already)

If I recall correctly, they claimed that they were cleverer than the wine developers because they needed so much time.

Anyhow, I'm glad that this scheme is dead.

I hope you do realize that a lot of Stadia people worked on Vulkan tools, or funding for such work was provided by Stadia.

You may not care about Stadia itself, but this is terrible news for Vulkan.

Was going to buy, then I saw it said C# :sick:

Quoting: slaapliedjeI bet if Disney could buy up large amounts of homes and create a Disney City, and just lease it out to people, they would.

Shhhhh, stop giving them ideas

Quoting: LinasThey most likely have Linux enthusiasts in the company, but the bean counters would not let them support Linux officially, because there is "no market" for it.

According to stackoverflow surveys, 25% of devs are Linux devs. So every company no matter how windows-centric it may be, it has Linux devs working for it. And Linux devs take care of Linux users, no matter what the company officially does ;)

My wishlist is full of games I get excited about after reading Liam's overenthusiastic reviews, while months later I see them on discount and look at the store page and be like why tf did I ever think I might be interested in this.

That's an interesting thought, and could explain at least a little bit why gaming looks nicer on VGA TVs.

Actually I take it back. Noise applied post-quantization is just noise!
