Dying Light Patch Released, Look Ma No Blur
4 Feb 2015 at 9:18 am UTC

Expecting miracles for playing games in SteamOS session will most likely leave you severely disappointed.
That being said, (although FPS is generally lower in SteamOS session) it does fell somewhat smoother for many games, especially Unity ones.

SteamOS does use Gnome 3 as DE for its desktop session, but for gaming (in its default SteamOS BPM session) is using steamcompgr.
Some details about what it is, and what is different about it :

@Liberodark
It does have some problems on SteamOS to start. From what I see there are some issues with the libopenal bundled with the steam runtime. Try a newer version of libopenal.

Quoting: kon14I posted in the game's official forum bug topic mentioned above yesterday yet the forum informed me that my answer would have to be revised before becoming visible. The last visible post being approved (?) is one from xpander on 09:15 PM (7:15 utc probably). I also replied in an "off-topic" thread and neither of my posts have been approved. Since I don't believe there's anything wrong with them... does anyone actually monitor those threads? Verification for replies in the off-topic category seems a bit strange as well. I did some more testing and really wont to send some feedback. Anyone has any idea?
And I thought I did something wrong...
The same for me, I posted two replies yesterday, none of them was approved.
Maybe they're really short on staff? I saw that they're looking for moderators.
