I don't think this compares to X4 at all! X4 is a ship management simulator!

Hope they can include FSR2 and DLSS3 down the line in the support list.

Year later and still not available in AU/NZ. (not interested in risky and expensive importing)

Deep Rock Galactic sold 2.3 million copies last year and I'm not surprised - it's awesome

Apparently still has some bugs for some people such as MIC not working on Steam Deck.

Gamescope (used on Steam Deck) adds in some VR support

If they want VR under Steam OS with future VR hardware then they'll need special compatibility profiles for steam deck level of hardware (assuming they want to have stand alone one day).

Only some games will be capable of running VR on steam deck, stuff like superhot perhaps?

It'll probably work well on Steam Deck also.

Did they have their own translation layer or api for windows under Linux games or were they just using custom DXVK?

Quoting: itscalledrealityValve to stop forcing us to use their Steam launcher.
Yeah it be nice if it worked like Epic and all you needed was the basic command line API stuff, no launchers required.
This is still DRM unfortunately but at least solves the annoying launcher issue.

Quoting: alka.setzerFor people to actualy [support/help with/open tickets] open source projects
Many people do but nothing really happens. You need a pretty big commitment from community to get traction on some issues, also often people can't navigate those support ticket systems very well, it requires big brain thinking to fill out. Most people only got banana brain (like me)

Quoting: tamodolo- probably nothing because Linux isn't developed to atend the end user.
There is work being done in ALL those areas right now. The issue is its allot of work and the people working on them have other responsibilities also so its a slow road sadly.

Technically if Valve can get the 6800U APU's then they'd get a instant %50 faster Steam Deck, however I suspect the price is going to be a issue.

There are already 2-3 other handhelds already using 6800U but they ship with Windows which is a bit disgusting. (are windows keys free for OEM now)

It's possible the 7800U APU will be a decent upgrade but Valve is probably using the chip they have now because AMD is basically giving it to them free at this point, lol

Another improvement would be swap the screen out for OLED, I don't care if its still 720/800p (who even makes those still?)

I would like to see HDR, 10-14bit color available and working in Wayland. More wayland limitations/issues fixed so we can finally ditch X11 and not fear having to switch back to it all the time when a problem appears on WL.

If the above happens, it be nice to see some real progress toward AutoHDR also.
