Quoting: GuestHe specifically mentioned performance... anyway, if he has a problem with Vulkan crashing, he should just use the OpenGL renderer!

I think the point was that if their card doesn't support OpenGL (which... we don't know - PinballWizard doesn't share any PC info), then Zink is the only way to use the OpenGL renderer. I think?

Quoting: BlackBloodRumThis is the wrong way to look at local attacks. Hear me out.

No, that's exactly the right way to look at a local attack - as Liam notes in the article, you should still patch it, but a local attack absolutely is limited in how it can affect your system. A second attack is needed to chain to this one.

The messaging couldn't be clearer in the article.

Of course, not really saying you're wrong... just that you're repeating the same message.

I've had my eye on this one for months now. This might just tip me over the edge and convince me to buy it at last!

I notice that Cheeseness is also involved in Capes, which give me a positive vibe for the overall quality (no pressure, Cheese!). Fingers crossed for this. Hope it launches soon!

Quoting: sfjuocekrAre you also going to write an article everytime Blizzard breaks their launcher?

Currently the launcher simply doesn't start if you don't install the Tahoma font and doing so leads to a peculiar bug that Windows users already had to deal with for a long time...

Everytime my character now flaps on its mount, the nameplate increases in size... same happens when people jump.

This never happened with the fallback font...

That's a weird one, sure enough. But I doubt articles about Blizzard are worthy of coverage unless Blizzard themselves announce that they're going to support Linux (or wine/proton). Valve offer a packaged, "turn-key" solution to play Windows games on Linux/Deck - Steam. So if a Steam-launched game that was working stops working, I think that's big news (as in, literally, I'm directly affected - I bought the game to play on Linux and now it doesn't work).

Well, as of midnight in the UK, Wed evening / Thu morning, it's working again. A new Proton experimental just landed and I've just tested it - all good again. But seriously, Ubi... what a joke they are.

I'm still so, so surprised that so many top-end games are on there. I only use my SteamDeck for card-battlers, horde-survival and so on. 2D games with slick presentation - that's my bag on the Deck. For anything vaguely powerful, I'm at my desk, beefy GPU, and mouse/kbd.

The ONE time I bought an Ubisoft title, they do this. With their resources, not a single person at Ubi thought to QA this on a Deck?? It beggars belief. They are utterly inept. Beneath contempt. No more money from me, likely ever.

Quoting: legluondunetThis tool does not permit to install GE-Proton v7-48 for Lutris?

Lutris has its own management system for Proton versions. I think there's a special Lutris version of GE-Proton too? There used to be at any rate, because Proton in a non-Steam environment causes issues.

EDIT - Yep, it still exists. Latest version [External Link] is Wine-GE-Proton7-36, released a few hours ago.

I get that we all hate launchers, but please be mindful of the forum rules when expressing your (entirely understandable) anger/frustration. Thanks all.
