They are being vague so as not to release information on the game they’re working on.

Obviously the security improvements is that Barney Calhoun now has an HEV suit and gravity gun.

Quoting: WoodlandorWayland graphics flickering under Nvidia drivers seems to be fixed with the final release.

Still testing, but they haven’t shown up where I’ve experienced them in the past.

Edit:
Not with Steam set to GPU acceleration, apparently.

Crazy epileptic-warning flickering is indeed lessened greatly.
But it’s been replaced by frame dropping and hitching during any video playback.

Doesn’t present itself in most games.

Waiting on Nvidia to fix this.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualSolidworks does work in Wine? That's surprising.

I've never used it, but isn't that a popular industry-standard CAD program?

No, it’s only used for making Solid Snakes

“!”

Quoting: Pengling

What will you be grabbing this time?

Nothing for me this time, I'm afraid! Like RPGs, deckbuilders simply aren't for me, though I'm glad to see that there's enough to make a Fest for those who love them. :smile: That's more than I can say for platformers and maze-chase games! :sad:

Not even a Super Bomberman Card Deck Ultra Alpha 2 Deluxe Edition?

Did this update solve an issue you were having, or are you waiting on NVIDIA fixing something else?

It has not. I have 5 programs that flicker (the Steam client being the absolute worst) and I am starting to get really sick of it.

Explicit sync patches won't land until the 555 release, which is likely a couple months away. Once that lands, my biggest problem with Wayland will be solved, and we can move on to the second-biggest: Color Management.

The flickering nonsense is very annoying.
But if you go into Steam settings, and turn off GPU acceleration it goes away.
It’s a solution for this transition period anyway.

Well for $12 CDN I can’t pass that up for just the nostalgia alone

Quoting: wytrabbitHomeworld 3 is Published by Gearbox (Embracer) 😬

Embracer just wants to give you a big hug.

By “big hug” I mean burn everything to the ground, but similar.

I bought the newer OLED Steam Deck.

I sold my younger, not very technical, brother my LCD Steam Deck a month or so ago.

Other than explaining it to be “like a Nintendo Switch, but plays PC games” I didn’t elaborate on anything else.

He’s not technical and doesn’t understand why I “have some weird OS on my computer”.

Asked him recently how he liked the Deck:
“It’s awesome, no issues!”

One day I’ll tell him more about the “weird OS” 😂

I really thought Liam would relax and make it to the new year this time without posting a new article.
