Quoting: GuestIf i am not mistaken there are a few people using ryzen 3000 processors on 300 series chipsets with updated BIOSes. Only some motherboards allow that. If confirmed some users of 400 series chipsets may have a good surprise. AMD users seem to enjoy cheaper upgrades on more durable mainboards and could protest if it is not the case.

At least it is what i gather from forum posts i have read elsewhere.

I'm not really angry at AMD, they've offered upgrades way beyond what Intel have in recent years, but I guess I wanted to see how far I could wait until I upgrade the CPU on my B350 mobo. I'm quite happy with my 1700, but when I first built my PC I was expecting AMD to be already hitting around ~5Ghz by now, Zen2 is a good upgrade, but wasn't significant enough for me to warrant the cost.

If I can't upgrade and need to buy a new mobo, does it make sense to invest in a new mobo with no upgrade potential? I'm not sure of AMD's plans for Zen 4>, but I wouldn't be surprised if they choose to go with a new socket when DDR5 is launched.

Let's see what mobo manufacturers do.

Quoting: Xaero_VincentFor those not able to sign up yet from the website, I managed to create a free Stadia account using the Stadia mobile Android app.

Same here, couldn't sign up on website, but used the app to activate my free trial. I've only briefly tried GRID and it was quite playable. But I'm not sure if it's the game or Stadia, as the car seems in focus but everything else is quite soft. I will try a few of the other titles probably tomorrow. I was using my Steam gamepad, but it didn't detect it properly. Not sure it has full compatibility with unofficial wireless pads yet.

Quoting: GuestSteam should NOT force game updates on us. If a game....

I guess thatd be fair for single player games, but if there is a multiplayer element ideally you want all your players on the same version. I must admit it is quite annoying all the frequent updates for games you may have finished and don't even plan to go back to. So I think Valve made a smart choice at this time to conserve bandwidth.

Quoting: CorbenHopefully Proton 5.0-5 will also include patches to get Doom Eternal up and running, but maybe it also needs a gpu driver update. At least with 5.0-4 it seems not to work so far.
Well, maybe I should try Doom Eternal on Stadia. Really a pity Bethesda is not interested in supporting Desktop Linux, though ID Software once released well working Linux binaries for their games (Doom 3, Quake 4, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars...).
Otherwise, HL:A will be the next hype game to be played ;)

I'm a bit confused. Is Doom Eternal working or not on Protom yet? Unless denuvo is supported in proton I'm guessing we will have to wait like we did with Doom?

Kinda surprised they aren't going with Vulkan from launch, I wonder if they have issues to iron out with that renderer first?

Quoting: pete910Nice!

Just need some nice soul to do a GUI app that also sets it system wide ,

There's already a GUI called GOverlay.

I bought a copy a few years back. Been waiting for them to finish the game before I did a play through tho. Did they ever add Vulkan support? If not I will be playing it through Proton as last time I checked it was way faster than Opengl.

I love Arch linux, took me a few years before I had the confidence to build my own install, but it's been well worth it. You learn a lot more by doing stuff yourself and if things ever go wrong, you have a better idea of how to fix it.

Quoting: egeeHave people actually used this or are people talking about how cool it is and then moving on?

It doesn't seem to work for me at all. I'm reluctant to open an issue on the GitHub repo because I'm curious if other people are having issues with it first.

The install instructions on the readme don't work and installing it via the release file doesn't appear to do anything.

Can folks confirm that it is working and maybe provide some screenshots?

No.. It does work & really well. I have it installed system wide on my Arch setup

Quoting: hammadnadeemxHow to enable this with lutris for other non steam games ?

If you got it installed system wide, it should be as simple as adding the environment variable under system options tab as MANGOHUD   1
