I also noticed the issue with shaders compilation and Nvidia drivers since the 455.x series.
Hopefully Nvidia will manage to fix that, because on some games it's very annoying.
The Elder Scrolls Online for example randomly crashes on the connection screen since the 455.x series.

So, for Nvidia, Linux is not a "major platform enough" to get the same dedicated app as Windows and MacOS. Thanks for the effort though.

I bought it along with Superliminal.
Two great games this week on Linux, and they are quite cheap :)

This 5.13 update has been really rocky for me. I still have to deal with a lot of regressions, like my optimus laptop not working anymore with proton titles, even when I come back to 5.0.10 now it seems broken (probably a mix-up with runtime libs as weel). I really hope they get it squared out soon.

I can't wait to see the fruition of this work next year :)

I just bought the game, and so far I like it. The pixel art is gorgeous and the gameplay very close to Castlevania :)

Quoting: Alm888

Still not clear what's driving this big uptick in Ubuntu users on their statistics…

Hmm… WSL2?

This is netMarketShare, I can't believe people would use WSL2 to surf the web when they simply can do it from windows.

Quoting: dubigrasuI'm quite OK with the graphics, (no idea how it looks on PC) and I think it still look beautiful, but that being said, the 30 FPS lock is unacceptable for me. I'm not a gazillion FPS snob, but in this case I find the game truly unplayable, with that excessive motion blur thrown over the FPS lock... makes my head hurt and dizzy.
Very disappointed, I sort of finished Destiny and wanted to dive right away into ESO, but not this way. And like on consoles, you don't have video options to tune other than brightness/etc.

I didn't had any issues with the resolution, but indeed, Stadia badly needs some control panel/settings/whatever. I always have to have this annoying little dance with Stadia and Stadia+ before starting a session, to make sure it uses VP9.

Edit: So I looked a bit online and it looks like the FPS lock is also present on PC by default (and ofc on consoles). So, well... I can't blame Stadia itself too much for this. But at least on PC you can unlock it yourself.
Mind you though, I played games at 30 FPS before and it was OK, but the way is implemented here is a game breaker. If I could disable that motion blur at least...

Edit 2: On PC you'd need to edit the UserSettings.txt file to remove the cap, and I downloaded my Google data with the Stadia settings where I can see it uses the same file to store the settings. Ofc, you can't edit that. But apparently there's a way to remove the cap using the chat command: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=785105112 [External Link]
Not sure if it (still) works though, for the moment I keep getting a "unknown command" error, so it might not work with Stadia port or the syntax has changed.

The default frame time on PC is set to 100 FPS.
Anyway the PC version is flawless on Linux, it even works with mods, so why bother with an inferior Stadia version ?

I'll play Half Life Alyx and TESO with the latest extension ;)
