It's also not really 78% because that is calculated without taking the DE bundle discount into account. But 60% is still nice of course. And yeah, that's the disadvantage of releasing after a year. Still, Feral has released titles straight into a 50% discount before (DXMD iirc, which fairly quickly after the Win release)

Also congrats to Valve for the actual achievement. After (almost) 7 years I still have no regrets for the number that it shows on my external funds page. They've done well.

Quoting: Liam DaweBut now we want it! You know what you have to do. Make a game with the achievement and publish it on Steam. :DQuoting: BloomberyHow I can get this achievement?It's a joke.

Quoting: theghostDid someone played the first one recently and can you recommend it?Haven't played it much since the Steam Cloud ate my profile, but it's great if you like that sort of game. It does have a few issues with the way its economy is designed (it's all chained together and can prone to occasional collapse), but nothing that prevented me from having fun with it.

Overall the experience seems a bit smoother. Still vsync issues with gsync enabled (on the main monitor) and reprojection is still a mess for me.
All in all this beta sequence has been messy. A lot of temporary were introduced that had to be fixed in the next release. The ghost windows being least bad. Having the actual VR overlay corrupted was particularly bad. I hope they'll be a little more careful going forward.

By default, SteamVR will now select the correct audio input and output devices that actually belong to the active VR HMD.Does this actually work for anybody on Linux? It sure doesn't for me. Also, the volume setting in the SteamVR overlay doesn't work for me when I manually switch the audio over.

Not much difference in the benchmarks between medium and highest.
Although it doesn't matter for this game, I find it interesting that Feral used DX12 as a base for this port. Which means they developed new tech for this one. That should calm some nerves of those wondering what Feral has planned for the future.

Quoting: GuestI was a bit worried about the kickstarter but i am not familiar with their dynamics. They were short for their last day.It fairly normal for KS projects to have a steep start, then flatten and spike back up near the end. But the end rush on this one was exceptionally steep.
