Quoting: henriquecariocaStadia helps Steam deck and vice versa ( and steam for linux )

How does it help Linux? None of the native ports on Stadia have ever been released for desktop Linux as far as I know.

In the case of all those Ubisoft titles. Most are not even on Steam.

Quoting: andy155Valve reduces the size of the Steam Deck client in the latest update? Honestly but who cares? You really exaggerate with the deck news.

Did you know you can block tags so you never have to see any Steam Deck news?

I have another theory. It's possible they are moving anything Steam Deck related into a different depot. There are 2 reasons one might want to do this as a developer. One is to have the anticheat stuff separate (1 file), but the other is to potentially add in a separate low res assets set to use up less space on the Deck. I'm still waiting for the first dev to make use of this feature.

EDIT: The name of the quick fix branch is interesting also. It reads: "temporary test for merge build for EA". The "for EA" part sticks out, almost as if they are only doing this because the publisher told them to.

Quoting: quotI wonder if dropping in that missing `easyanticheat_x64.so` file would fix the issue. The removal seems accidental, so I'm assuming the main binary is still compatible. Of course, you're risking a ban if you try that, but I am curious.

It does fix the issue.

How did you get the correct file?

The versions would have to match.

Indeed they removed the easyanticheat_x64.so file. How very weird.

Wow, the comments on that announcement seem to be 90% Russians yelling about nazis and calling CDPR "traitors" and stuff.

I was hoping that Verified would at least encourage developers to care about how their game runs on Deck, but this has not caught on as much as I had hoped, aside from some smaller devs who take pride in their work. Maybe it just needs a little time. When device sales go up into the millions, I suspect attitudes will change.

I linked this video so a silly person on Twitter earlier. They responded to a tweet about the release of the Steam Deck APU Windows drivers by asking if this means they can play Minecraft Java Edition on it now.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAs far as I know, none of the Verified or Playable games here have had any work done by the developers to make them work. I have only looked at the Steam update data for 2 of them though, so don't take my word for it.

GoL reported quite a few games that were actively updated to meet requirements...
It felt like the reason for most articles just one or two weeks ago. :)

I mean specifically in this list.
