The HDMI Forum rejected AMD's open source HDMI 2.1 implementation

Quoting: Marlockwhat does hdmi 2.1 do that hdmi 2.0 doesn't?
For the most part HDMI2.1 is 48Gbps bandwidth so can support higher hz with HDR and all that.

However HDMI2.0 with DSC can hit 4k 120hz 10bit just fine I believe.

When I had my 7900XTX, wayland was happy setting 4k 120hz and according to display data it was 10bit, so maybe also work with HDR?

Single-player extraction shooter ZERO Sievert adds controller support

Keep a eye on this one.

I'll be much more interested when they add in more enemy types of threats. I kind of wish a game like this existed but didn't focus too much on zombies.

Think a game like this, combined with the world system of Cataclysm, Dark Days Ahead... That would be amazing.

For those who played DDA, you know its not all about zombies. In fact zombies are just little annoyances in the gameworld where MUCH nastier enemies exist, even massive terminator robots :)

You know what they should do, add like 2 or 3 player coop, or 4 maybe? Obviously difficulty curve would need to adjust or be adjustable to suit this mode. Maybe give special abilities that are multiplayer only like being able to combined abilities with other players to get more effect.

I think all that above would bring people back to this game pretty strongly!

It's a real pita. And one of the reasons I had to go back to NVIDIA. I mean 4k120hz was fine with HDMI2.0 DSC I believe, but there are a lot of devices that just default to HDMI2.1 now and I aren't seeing ANY displayport alternatives on the market.

For example, capture cards, all high end, all HDMI2.1, DisplayPort 2.0 doesn't exist. Hell its hard to find a decent priced DP2.0 cable even. So on one hand open-standard is best, on the other, open-standard sucks when few support it! (for devices etc)

Like it or not, HDMI2.1 has massive backing and support. Corporations win! sadly...

Released to Testing for Arch, I don't think any distributions have it in mainline stable yet.

All good.

What I would like NVIDIA to be doing is release a update o NVReflex and Frame Generation support, that be neat.

Palworld is getting external anti-cheat but it will be mostly optional

We have seen this optional thing happen before then you have 99.99% of servers using it anyway forcing Linux users to play in their own little echo-system.

Still a major thorn in Linux Gaming's side, this kernel or even normal anti-cheat software.

Emulation

Actually completely different things that attempt to get the same end result.
Translation has universally been better when possible.

I do like the detachable controllers. It be cool if Valve did that sometime in future.
