I only have the base game so obviously I don't have anything from this one. But Steam will allow me to write a review of it. Weird.
Another SteamVR release is up, further improving the VR experience on Linux

Aircar [External Link] released on Steam yesterday. It works perfectly with proton, but you may have to force per game input settings to off to make it recognise your controller.
Interesting experience. Very immersive, but it does test your limits on how well you can handle motion. I've spent half an hour to see how well I could handle it. Rapid rotation is definitely a no go, but if I did it slowly, there was no problem. Same for acceleration, but it is relative to how close you are to objects. If everything is far away I don't get triggered. But hit forward while looking down through the side window .... ouch. Also tilting was definitely not appreciated by my head. Having gravity not point to where you expect it is harsh. How is this stuff for others?

Welcome change. I actually taught myself to check for a price first and skip anything that didn't. Shouldn't have to do that.

Quoting: XpanderI Hope valve will hurry up with the EAC as the windows client in wine (last time i tried, non eac server) worked way way better anyway, with double the framerates of native clientWhat if that would mean installing a root level spy daemon?

Quoting: HoriIf not for the greed with the pricing of the 20xx series, Nvidia would have been an ok company in my book.Greed is not really the thing at work here. The 2080 Ti (and to 2080 to a lesser extent) is the one with the really excessive price and there is absolutely no competition for that card to drive the price down. So they only really compete with themselves. I suspect the production capacity of these high end models is not that big, so they have reason at all to lower the price. It would be nice if AMD entered that segment, but I don't think they're exactly in a hurry to do so.

Quoting: Avehicle7887Something to point out with ProtonDB is that even if a game is reported as Borked, these are to be taken with a grain of salt. Some reports mention a specific game may run with plain wine, while some others are so old they don't reflect current status.Funny enough, the opposite is also true. There are games that are still listed as working (silver or so) but are actually completely broken since a later update (due to adding EAC for instance).

Quoting: Sil_el_motYes and I do have controllers in game. Last time I tried it, I was still on the main SteamVR branch though (which is now the previous release). I can try again with the latest update.Quoting: EhvisThe Lab - Proton. Works perfectly, but it tends to crash the first time you start a new minigame. As if the game takes issue with the long shader compile time. Always loaded after a restart.Do you use the Index? I have no Controllers in the game and can't press Start on the very first Terminal.

Quoting: EikeSo, BTW and IMHO, having to set environment variables would be gold, not platinum.Something not all submitters appear to honour. I see a lot of platinum reports that still mention a specific setting. So I expect the realistic number of platinums to be lower in favour of gold.
