Mike Shapiro drops a cryptic message from G-Man for the upcoming Half-Life: Alyx

Quoting: WorMzyI was excited for Alyx, until it was confirmed that it is a VR exclusive. Hopefully poor sales will prompt them to revise that decision and release a more accessible version of the game.
It's not fair to call this game an "exclusive". It was simply made for VR, you just can't get the same level of control without it. Unless you want to somehow emulate 18 degrees of freedom on some other device, making the most sophisticated QWOP ever. The game design is just not going to be compatible with a flatscreen, nor you would have a good time trying to emulate VR on it - you are free to try however, since OpenVR emulators are easily downloadable.

I wanted to try it for a long time. I wonder how well it would work.

Does it work if I put DRI_PRIME=1 RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command% in the launch option of the game?
Yes, that's exactly how you should enable it

Woo! So far not bugs found, I already enabled ACO system-wide. I love seeing all the improvements, even with them being just 1-2% they still do add up.

It's a very cool but also very short game that reminds me a lot of Penumbra games. If you like that kind of stuff you should really dump that under 1 hour time into it, the thing is solid

Great job on that sliding preview, it really works well for side-by-side. You are very good at this Liam.

Steam Play Proton 4.11-7 is out with more gamepad improvements and other misc fixes

Nice to see better controller support! They still have to fix that bug when the Steam Big Picture UI gets activated out-of-screen but prevents the game to read the gamepad. Right now it is solved by disabling the big picture UI for games started with a gamepad.

Another awful thing to try is to sudo chmod 777 /dev/uinput That's what I've done when I suspected that something broke the udev rule, and it works for me. I hope a proper fix would come soon.
