Quoting: mrdeathjrAnd nvidia vulkan drivers 410.57.xx ? also will be out on any moment

According to Doitsujin [External Link] it'll be 396.54.09. Takes quite a bit of work to make it work though. I'm sure Lutris will make sure it all happens though.

As it turned out, my weekend was Shenzen I/O, Left 4 Dead 2, Graveyard Keeper, Nimbatus and Two Point Hospital. How uncharacteristically native. :P

Quoting: Salvatos

Quoting: g000hI'm a long term Debian user, and I use it properly... i.e. I install the packages from the regular repositories so that my system doesn't get messed up. I have tried backports and all sorts of things in the past, but generally find that forcing a later graphics driver onto the system ends up borking it.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm on Mint, but it's only offering me 340.107 and 390.48 so I'd rather stick to that. Didn't someone say that the newer drivers were only necessary for Vulkan games anyway, or something along those lines?

To be honest, only DXVK seems so need it. Some Feral games have it as requirement, but work fine on 390.

Quoting: wojtek88I was little bit sceptical last weeks, as it was looking like in September after making Steam Play official for all Steam Linux clients, Valve was not putting a lot of work in Proton, it was outdated while comparing to DXVK and while comparing to Wine.

Jumping to the latest versions is not necessarily helpful to what Proton is trying to achieve. They obviously want their list of whitelisted games to run without problems on a wide variety of installations. Updates must be done with care in order to make sure that they don't break anything. This will probably become harder and harder with a growing list of games.

Quoting: Kels

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo I'm wondering what "souls-like" combat would be, and why that would be deep. ;)

Presumably in terms of the need to observe each enemy's individual attack patterns rather than simply hack and slash your way through indiscriminately. Liam mentions how it's slow-paced, and indeed the Souls games generally are slow, where you're not just dashing through everything normally.

Pretty much that. Although the "souls" thing is more of a current thing. Games that punish blindly throwing yourself at enemies and/or button mashing have existed for much longer. I do wonder why popularity of these mechanics suddenly increased. Although satisfying, it does take a bit of time to learn these things.

I clearly would like to win a key. :D

I passed the point in the game where you can do this. It's pretty hard and optional, so I skipped it for now. But I'd like to try and make something at some point. If I have inspiration that is.

It's possible that people using Steam on Wine were now more likely to get their survey on Linux again due to proton. It could also be a statistical anomaly. Time will tell.

On a positive note, I got a survey last night. On Linux obviously. :D

Quoting: DuncThere's a weird flickering/glitching on the menu screen that I've been meaning to report for weeks (it looks for all the world like a hardware fault, except I don't have any other problems), but the game runs well enough.

I saw that too. Only on fullscreen though, when I set it to windowed it went away. Even my "G-SYNC" indicator was flickering, meaning it must be doing something pretty crazy.

I'll be all over this as soon as it works on Linux.
