Lol , supporting SteamPlay my a..

Definition of supporting SteamPlay : we wouldn't mind extra cash but we also don't want to make any effort towards it.

Most they will do is not using a Drm which is also not an issue in indie titles ever.

So after all , supporting SteamPlay means nothing.

I can understand big shots won't support Linux directly but easen out SteamPlay usage with using Vulkan , using at least compatible drm's etc but when it comes from an indie dev it means nothing.

Also that is a bad sign if every title goes for that route , even Valve can't overcome with all titles tied to SteamPlay kind of situation.

I hopped to Linux four years ago thanks to Windows and Steam. Seriously ; i was trying Linux distros from USB drives/ DVD's for years but it never meant something solid to me without games.

I dualbooted at first ; tried many games. Once i decided i was ok with natively available games on my library , ditched Windows entirely. It just lives in a VM now , just for some edge cases.

I'm still a noob compared to many of you Linux veterans but in these four years i only saw gaming on Linux platform just gone forward.

Both from drivers side and with available games.

I really hope that Proton can help with 1 percent market share goal anytime soon.

Since it is good to have such an option ; Linux still needs visibility.

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: GuestHoly shit that game's still being developed?

Well , still being maintained is more appropriate imo.

updating an engine to 64 bit is a lot more than basic maintenance. Bethesda made a whole new release out of it for Skyrim, and for good reason (even if everyone seemed to be mad about it despite it being the #1 most requested feature for skyrim...)

1-) Skyrim is a whole another beast.

2-) Skyrim update included a graphics overhaul, 64 bit support and Bethesda Creation Club mod integration.

It is really not suitable to compare these two.

Quoting: YoRHa-2BSame goes for AGS. Granted, I've only seen one single game so far where AGS is a problem, that being Assassin's Creed Syndicate, but it has the exact same issue. Runs fine on AMD after spoofing an Nvidia GPU.

This is somewhat off-topic, but regarding Assassin's Creed -- when do you think the fix for the uplay login bug, which came in wine-staging 3.19 a while back, would be incorporated in 'regular' wine, and proton?

These connectivity issues ( Uplay, Quake Champions etc ) needs a Steam Runtime update for gnutls. Which is WIP.

Quoting: EikeDo it, it's absolutely worth it!

I know! :) But Hollow Knight is currently eating all my time available for gaming (it could be worse, I do not have installed SOMA for another run since my switch from Ubuntu 16.04 to Kubuntu 18.04)! ^_^

Did they fix the achievement issue?

I only had that kind of situation with one of the games i was interested.

As some local Linux group , we purchased some copies of Rust on a Steam sale. Game didn't work for nobody. It was crashing to desktop when loading resources half way.

We refunded and explained issue.

Two weeks later , they ended Linux support.

I think that is right call for some companies. If they can't maintain a native version , they should drop it.

Quoting: GuestSeems to have broken at least The Tiny Bang Story, game expects libGLEW1.6 and now there is only 1.10 present.
Not quite sure how to report that properly, but I made a post on the games forums... https://steamcommunity.com/app/96000/discussions/0/1733216893876281579/ [External Link]
