Quoting: michaAnyone else getting greeted by Missing Executable:
 
Steam/steamapps/common/Vampire Survivors/launcher.sh

?

Forcing Proton (tried Experimental, 7, and 6) I get greeted by an io exception. Same my Arch and my Fedora notebook.

Well, at least it works great on my Steam Deck. :wink:
Game does have a Linux build but for some reason it has this issue by default. Joining to public beta branch of the game on Steam fixes this.

So by default it tries to use Linux build but it doesn't work by default.

As for why this is not an issue on Deck, Deck defaults to Proton.

Launcher.sh exist in here which is most likely what joining to public beta branch directs to.

Linux build works in public beta branch. Although there is a slight issue with it on Nvidia Prime systems.

Works perfectly fine on Intel igpu.

I think answer to that is easy: You can just tell them " you have a drifting problem" while you actually don't have ( btw " you " here is an example, anyone can do it ) such problem, get the parts, sell them somewhere or just stock them in case if they go drifty.

As a verification process for such thing would be messy - user has a problem but wants to do repairing themselves, should we send the parts now? - i totally understand that approach. Like you can't get a camera module from Samsung, Sony, Apple etc with saying " i have warranty, give me part, i will change it" .

Spider-Man Remastered update out, has a couple Steam Deck fixes

Quoting: BeamboomI thought this game didn't run well on desktop Linux? Has that changed?
Define desktop Linux.

If it is an Nvidia gpu; it has a big perf hit.

If it is AMD gpu with RADV driver; it is fine.

Quoting: JoshuaAshtonThis isn't a Steam Deck bug, it happens on Desktop too. There's a GPU synchronisation issue that happens going between vertical screens in some areas.
But it only occurs with Vulkan, right?

Yes.

DXVK 1.10.3 out with work for Halo Infinite plus better Stray performance for Proton

Quoting: mr-victorySo no pipeline cache yet?
No and it wouldn't be beneficial to most people as that GPL ext is only available on Nvidia Vulkan Dev driver; not on RADV. And that said NV Vulkan dev driver has couple of regressions for vkd3d-proton games.

So with no proper mainline support there isn't much benefit for most users.

Oh no. Those guys are the worst when it comes to Linux support.

Their Bards Tale port for Linux has an input bug that makes character run in a direction non stop for years. I've tried to reach them via multiple channels but they don't just don't respond.
Huh, which Bard's Tale did they port, the top down version? I don't think I have ran into that bug on it. I should try it on my Deck.

You mean the newer bards tale V? I never experienced such a issue, thought it did have performance issues in areas.

I think the big issue is they made the Linux version use OpenGL instead of Vulkan which is a byproduct of using OLDER engine versions. Developers often struggle updating to newer engine versions especially when it involves moving graphics APIs.
Nope.

Dunno, but I had a different experience back in the day. I found a bug where they didn't check the return value of an X call for NULL, which in my case it was because I'm running multiple monitors on separate X screens without Xinerama. I hacked together a quick LD_PRELOAD fix that both works around the bug and shows what they missed, put that up in the Steam forums for anyone who needs that and send a bug report with the same information their way. Shortly after, they release a new version where that was fixed.

Nope, they claimed they fixed the issue i mentioned last year but it still persists.

This should no longer been an issue with the latest LTS update.
This doesn't make sense to begin with anyways, that is a distro agnostic issue.
