Feral no longer porting A Total War Saga: TROY to Linux, citing less demand since Proton
28 Jul 2021 at 7:18 am UTC Likes: 1

Feral basically used a translation layer anyway didn't they?

The big problem with feral releases is when games get updates, and the fact the linux versions are under timed licenses. This is why Mad Max and some of their other Mordor games no longer have the penguin icon in store.

Proton 6.13 GE-1 is out now with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, Resizable BAR

Quoting: benjamimgoisbecause games with internal scalers doesn't work with the feature.
Mortal Online 2 has a manual render resolution scaler and FSR works with it. Some games might do scaling automatically?

FSR is pretty good, been using it with KCD and MortalOnline2 with great success.

Valve corrects the RAM specs for the Steam Deck, games should run nicely from SD Card

Quoting: Hori, let's be honest, is considered a forbidden arcane art by the average user.
No you just backup whats on there already and restore it on the new drive. I don't know if they will provide any tools for this, guess we'll find out. Then again just putting steamOS3 on a microsd card is not that hard.

Rust needs EAC support via proton, so runs, yes mostly (its possible to bug out the prefix and get infinite crashes on launch). No multiplayer however except for the hidden non-EAC servers nobody wants to play on. (no players or errors on connecting)

Quoting: damarrinI'm guessing it means you need to open the deck up to access it and it'll void your warranty.
Invalid here in Australia, we are allowed to open electronics up. (stores will fight, then you show them the law and they shut up)

80-90MB/s is the typical MicroSD cards sold and also Nintendo ones. I bought a 512GB 180MB/s R/W one however so hopefully that will be a little bit faster. (faster ones cost more)

I bought a 180MB/s 512GB mSD card the other day, hopefully it will be decent. Might need a SD reader that can support that speed however.

You can get microSD cards up to 300MB/s but price climbs allot, and storage space can be reduced as I presume their getting better speed via dual/quad write methods.

NVIDIA shows off RTX and DLSS on Arm using Arch Linux, DLSS SDK adds full Linux support
21 Jul 2021 at 8:15 am UTC

Is this showing that you don't need tensor cores to do DLSS? so in other words NVIDIA could allow it to work on pascal or other vendor cards but is choosing not to. FSR I think is going to take over, however I hear you can use both with interesting results.

Ubisoft are keeping an eye on the Steam Deck, will release on it if it's big enough

Not a fan of Ubisoft, but they are a big player in gaming and if they release some stuff for SteamOS then thats great. Or at least make proton compatible is fine.
