GE-Proton 8-26 and 8-27 released with various game fixes for Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: Root-CoreAs this is a Unity game, you could test
I'll test this out sometime. However I'd like a fix for the stupid cursor rendering issues. Run normally outside of gamescope it's low res 8bit cursor, and in Gamescope it only renders part of the cursor... such a silly issue.

Additionally these sorts of workarounds should just NOT be needed. A typical gamer/desktop user will never be able to find these fringe workaround fixes.

As good as proton/wine is, it's these fringe oddities that persist that really hurt it.

I was messing with rogue trader recently and noticed the mouse cursor is in 8-bit color or worse (looks bad compared to windows) and it had quite a bit of micro stuttering going on. Was not smooth when panning camera.

Tried a few things, couldn't fix those two issues.
I did manage to fix the unitymodmanager unifont problem, but if the game is infinitely more enjoyable to play under Windows as it doesn't stutter and the cursor looks normal, then I'll have to do that.

Sorry that job has already been taken by AI. What we do have is a job where rich folk need someone to live in their toilet to wipe their asses! Requires a degree!

This is what Valve should have done while ago.

No doubt this will restrict it to playable framerates on NVIDIA cards only.

If your going to put this much work into the body realism, perhaps also just toss in VR support for people also?

Outward has 2player coop, one of the better challenging rpg games. Wonder if there is a 4player mod.

Talk about making it political. You can just not use the HDMI LAN function, also did you know you can clearly see via router logs and such what IP's are being talked to.

If your so convinced of this stuff, you have the tools to prove it all without a doubt... Instead people spin outlandish conspiracy theories but when it comes to investigation and proof, nobody gives a shit nor can be bothered....

You could have easily stopped at, it's a potential security risk... just like using the internet is, however....

Guessing these open-source nvk drivers will never get DLSS, HDMI2.1, and possibly no RT acceleration from the RTX cores.
