How to tell what Steam games work on Linux & SteamOS, steamplay does not mean Linux support

Quoting: dubigrasuWell, two different icons describing basically the same thing, now that's confusing.
It’s not the same thing. What’s confusing is games that run on linux even though they don’t have the steamos icon (dying light), and games that don’t even though they have it (most recent unity games).
I'm pretty sure Valve put some thoughts into this at the time when they're changed the icon, most likely at some point they draw the line between supporting Linux gaming in general and (their own) Steamos gaming which they need to promote.

As such, if a game runs on SteamOS it will get an SteamOS icon and support, if not, it gets nothing.

It may be confusing for some, but in the long run it was the right decision.
It's pretty simple actually. If a game on Steam supports Windows, Mac, Linux, and SteamOS, then each os/platform should have their own icon. Honestly, how can that be difficult for them? It's mind-boggling tbh...

The SteamOS icon represents Steam's own platform and it makes sense to look like that. Things can be indeed done to clear up some remaining confusions, but basically they're are promoting SteamOS and SteamOS gaming, not Linux gaming in general.

Consider using a CSMT Wine for this game, as it can offer a greater performance (compared with the stable version they're using):

Dying Light finally adds a Chromatic Aberration toggle in the latest patch
23 Mar 2016 at 7:41 pm UTC

Quoting: Seegras- Chromatic Aberration
- Motion Blur
- Film Grain
- Lens Flare
- Dirty Lenses (including water droplets)
- Depth of field
All of these are total bullshit and need to be disposed of.
The effects (when clever used) are not the problem and I quite like many of them.
Depth of field, a small amount of motion blur and especially noise grain I use every time I can, I really like the combination of them. The others can be also used to accentuate certain situations in the game.
The problem is with developers that choose to overuse and enforce them upon us.
The moment you have a toggle or a slider for them there are no longer a problem in gaming.

Set Vsync to 1
Always the same, If I put 0 or 1 I have the same result
How about enabling/forcing Sync to VBlank from your card's control panel?
