Quoting: Mal

Quoting: dubigrasuJust somewhat on topic: What is the purpose of linking your Steam account to the Paradox account?
I have several Paradox games on Steam (also I bought just right now Surviving Mars) and not one is listed on my Paradox account (or available in the launcher).

Them gathering info on you. You gain the medals and some avatars depending on what you bought when posting on their forums.

... and I guess you have access to their launcher if want to try it. Before they announce that they ditched Steam and make it mandatory (because we all know this day will come).

Yeah, I can see now the games bought on Steam displayed on my Paradox forum account. Not much use for that though...
I have their launcher installed, but apparently is only working for games bought directly from their store, not from Steam.

I was hoping to see some upgrades for BPM too. Any words on this?

Quoting: TwistedFateUgh.. The last Proton update made Warframe unplayable for me, it's a slideshow now.. Can I somehow revert to the previous Proton version? I don't see it in Proton selection..

I don't play Warframe, but there's this Proton fork by GloriousEggroll, with Warframe (and other games) fixes:
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom [External Link]

The present Proton update breaks at least another game though: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2778 [External Link]

(and that's why I make backups for older Proton versions, and put them if necessary in the "compatibilitytools.d" folder.)

This is interesting and a bit alarming if true, Garry said on redit that the biggest issues is EAC pausing their Linux support:

There’s are unity issues, sure, Linux guys are usually understanding about those and find a way around. They’re a pain in the ass but it’s business as usual for Linux/unity development.

The biggest issue as far as I can see is that EAC are pausing their Linux support, which is resulting in an increase in cheaters using the Linux version. This is a huge problem because it affects every other platform.

So these are the problematic third parties after all?
But I thought that things were going good on that front, wasn't Valve in talks with EAC?

There's another thing that doesn't make sense in this specific context of the current "Linux issues".

Basically we couldn't play for two months because of two main issues: model/skin explosion and colored flickering textures around monuments.
OK. The skin explosion was fixed on Linux by disabling GPU skinning, while the flickering is still present.
But they are not really Linux issues, but rather Vulkan issues, issues that you can still find in the current Windows build when you switch to Vulkan. So yes, right now on Windows-Vulkan you have the very same skin explosion and texture flickering that prevented us for playing.

Is not that they weren't able to fix the Linux issues, they weren't able to fix the Vulkan issues, yes, even on Windows, so why would you blame Linux specifically?

I'm curious about those external issues (third parties) they've talking about, cos is a bit vague.
The biggest issue so far were the weird artifacts filling the screen, issues that was "solved" by un-ticking a box in the Unity editor.
Yeah, and that was because a clever Linux guy with an hex editor discovered that for them, while they pretended for two months that "they're working on it".

There's still the flickering issue, but I hardly believe that this one is caused by third parties.

Well, I wouldn't mind a bit of adjusting to local wages, because here in E-Europe, I pay ten times more for a game, than say, an US citizen.

Controller/Gamepad duplication in games that use SDL2 like RiME should also be fixed

Wow, awesome. Yes, I used an workaround for RIME, and is all good now, but having this working out of the box is so great.
