Very nice! Seems to work very well. The only complaint I had when trying it is that the scroll position of the list is not remembered when you go back to it. I was checking the install size of a few games and having to start at the top again after going back was slightly annoying.

Also noticed that the "nile" dev is working on Heroic now. So I'm hopeful that the amazon games stuff might eventually make it into Heroic as well so I have all my alternative sources in one place.

Waaaay back in the early days of Steam on Linux, I decided to not spend money on anything with 3rd party dependencies. In the years since then it has been made clear many times that this was the right decision. So happy to say that this does not affect me.

I've enabled proton experimental for a couple of games and it works nicely. It doesn't completely eliminate stutter, but it's definitely a big step up. The biggest test for it was Star Citizen, which still has noticeable stutter but more in line with DXVK_ASYNC builds. And a far cry from the multiple second stalls with plain DXVK.

Requires agreement to a 3rd-party EULA
Dead Space EULA

Aaand that's it. No mention of Origin / EA App on Steam.

Also no mention of Denuvo, but it's still there. You'll have to ask someone who bought it to make sure.

Since it appears to work well on a regular Linux PC, it's probably not going to be as simple as a Proton patch.

Just factually false.

It would be nice if they separated the deck and general reports though. It's really annoying to have to search for where the desktop reports begin. Something tabbed or folded that is remembered between pages.

It is possible that they did a little workaround somewhere to make it run on Steam Deck and they check for it to apply that. Possibly to do with starting appropriate non-crashing graphics settings.

Not going to test it though. Base game for 80 euro. A deluxe edition over a hundred. And of course some unacceptable denuvo. Good thing there is nothing about this game that sounds appealing to me.

Maybe it was not a leak, but a "leak". And this is the start of the marketing campaign of Left 4 Dead 3!!! Haha, I know, silly, it has a three. :dizzy:

Quoting: dpanterFaster than a 3090 Ti? That's a bold claim. Performance back when it was called '4080 12 GB' was more in line with a 3080. Guess we'll see soon.

I imagine that it's very special circumstances. Like everything measured with full ray tracing and DLSS3.

Quoting: pete910To be honest having used HDR on windows in the Past and films ect on my LG oled I cant say it's that impressive. For the most part it resembles some turning the Saturation and colours up to full.

Dare say it's a personnel preference thing at the end of the day.

What I find amusing is that the first Far Cry basically had a software version of HDR in it. So when you'd go into a cave, it'd be really dark, then it was like your eyes would adjust, then when you left a cave, it'd be really bright...

I think Fallout III did something like this when leaving the bunker vault for the first time (in your life).

Tone mapping (combined with HDR rendering) have been the norm for games with dynamic lighting for a long time. Far Cry may have been the first, but after the needed features came into DX9, things moved pretty quick.
