I can't wait for this one.
Probably the best announce from the Nintendo Direct.

I noticed Spider-Man 2 has a similar issue with eyes in cut-scenes.
I wonder if their patch is proper to Indiana Jones or if it also fixes Spider-Man 2.

Quoting: KROMCool that the issues seem to be fixed. Until then one had to use AMDVLK. On a side note, performance of this game is extraordinarily good, rare to see such optimized and good looking games these days.

On a good machine with 32Go RAM it runs very well but on the Steam Deck it really struggles.

Fixed a rendering issue with characters' eyes in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

I wonder if this fix comes from a Mesa update or just a Proton one because it appears on Desktop Linux as well (at least with AMD graphics).

It's literally linked in the article. It's a Mesa update.

Fair enough, I didn't see the last line.

I think this is related to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12257 [External Link]

Ok so it seems it's a game bug but they have a workaround now in Mesa... Let's hope it will be fixed in the game because I won't get a Mesa update anytime soon.

Quoting: PyrateHow's the flatpak these days? Would prefer to switch to the flatpak as I'm liking the concept of keeping the OS as "clean" as possible.

It's still bad and not officially supported by Valve... Valve recommends to use the distro package when available or their official one:

I always avoided this color that generally doesn't last through the years but starts to taint in yellow.

Quoting: BeamboomThis is a massive downer for me. Apex has become my major title over the last couple of years, I've got a long friends list in that game of players I met ingame and hook up with regularly.

So yeah, major blow. Surely, surely there must be a way for us to get Linux at least on par with Windows on the anti-cheat situation.

Valve could step in and say that on Steam, VAC must be used.
Otherwise we are looking at kernel level controls. That's not going to fly based on the foundational principles behind Linux. --- edit: but maybe Valve could step in and implement kernel level anticheat on their SteamOS package?
But then... Won't that just mean cheat creators edit the SteamOS package, remove the kernel access, and repackage?

VAC is probably not good enough for now but I'm pretty sure Valve is working on an updated version.
That being said Kernel level anti-cheat is not a silver bullet neither, there are some ways to cheat it cannot see.
I really hope a server based AC tech will raise the bar so that everyone will migrate to it, because this issue clearly shows once again that client side anti-cheat is a dead end.

Quoting: whizseSeems short-sighted . . . 200 million here, 200 million there, pretty soon you're talking about real money!

My mind boggles at thinking of $200 million in profit as "only" and not worth going after.

Opportunity cost. Why make a game that only makes $200 million when they can make a game that makes several billion instead?

The problem now is that GaaS sector is crowded... See the recent Concord fiasco.
Making that kind of game works when you are the first or when you're super innovative and bring something new to keep players' engagement. Otherwise it's a waste of time and money and you'd better do a good solo game instead.
