Honestly they should have just announced a flat %5-10 charge free after a certain point like what EPIC etc does. This method of monetization is too convoluted. Also the its clear its all for the share holders..

Waiting for that one guy to chime in and say HDR is crap on his SDR screen and thus nobody should waste time coding support for it...

I'll wait for the DLC and FSR3 update.

FSR3 is sure taking is god damn time, hope it works under Linux and it is decent and not a flop.

I think they have lost too much trust already. This sort of stuff REALLY needed to be said at top of first stating this change.

Clearly they let the sociopath write their PR material.

Steam Deck OS 3.4.9 released with GPU fix for Starfield

I recently traded my 4090 for a 7900XTX+Money. NVIDIA 4090 was giving me all sorts of weird issues with my displays such as gamma flutter or blinking if you like, and this was under Windows AND Linux... I couldn't escape it.

No issues with the AMD card yet. Honestly NVIDIA is just TERRIBLE for driver support this year, of cause not all cards suffer these issues.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPSingle click to select. Double click to open.
This is the way.
True, can't tell you how often I've fubar'd something up due to single clicks to open/execute/move/break things...

Got to have a bit of buffer for us clumsy mortals!

Steam Deck OS 3.4.9 Beta gets a GPU fix for an upcoming game

I'll be very interested in a Steam Deck 2 once it happens. But atm Steam Deck 1 is not even available to Australians except through 3rd party vendors whom seem to slap on their %10-30 tax and offer no Valve warranty!

Quoting: bingusWhy support GOG then? They don't treat Linux users nicely.
Just because they don't have a Native Linux Launcher doesn't mean they are ANTI Linux.
Far from it. Also GOG Galaxy 2, after using it for a while under Windows, isn't all that great, not a huge loss if the API method works for most games (unsure about some like NMS).
