Open-source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA hardware in Mesa, NVK, is now ready for prime time

One day we will get rid of GPUs (and other hardware) competing on secrecy & exclusive features (often not needed). Today we are a step closer to that day.

(at least on Linux, haha).

Happy to see them being on the top of the issue. Would be even happier if testing for this kind of use-case was part of their release routine ☺️.

Remote Play broken on Steam Deck with the February stable update
28 Feb 2024 at 5:50 pm UTC

Quoting: GuestIn case Valve doesn't provide a fix in a timely manner, it may be necessary to downgrade the client (I don't own a Steam Deck to test):

  • Enter desktop mode (Deck users)

  • Exit Steam

  • Launch Steam and downgrade using archived 1705108172 version:
     
    steam -forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl http://web.archive.org/web/20240113112425if_/media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam

  • If the client successfully downgrades and launches, inside `~/.steam/steam`, create a new `steam.cfg` file with contents:
     
    BootStrapperInhibitAll=enable

This is some dark magic, downloading Steam client from the Internet Archive :p

That's what happens when you keep developing your already well-received game with genuine care & putting players first.

Absolutely.

ConcernedApe? Yeah he is self-publishing now, so at least on PC - yes, he does!
