Quoting: NociferAh, Mass Effect. That sci-fi game that had such an absolutely great first part, before somehow managing to turn into an absolute crapfest in its second and third parts. For anyone who not only cares about good game writing but also enjoys reading about good game writing (and writing in general)

Pfff, opinions. ME2 is the best of the three by a huge margin. Primarily due to the fact that it actually does a better job of establishing reasons to care about individual characters rather than just the clinical plot stuff.

Quoting: pete910Which GE version is for use with Lutris ?

I might be talking out my ass, but I believe these fixes/patches have also been applied to the tkg build of proton, which is the preferred one for use with Lutris.

Sucks how often these launchers break Proton compatibility when the games themselves work fine. Most recent example is Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Quoting: Luke_NukemLast I heard was that DLSS was built in to the Windows driver and may not ever come to Linux. Anyone confirm?

DLSS support has been included with their Linux driver for about a year.

Ah cool, thanks for the info.

I think the confusion point is that proton will not be supporting any vendor-specific features.

Just tried the demo. Worked fine, except for the above mentioned issues. I had to edit the .ini to change the graphics settings and could not figure out how to change the resolution.

And for the game proper you will need a mod to change the FOV because it's just silly narrow.

Oh, very important thing about the price parity clause. It's from the Steamworks documentation, not from any of the legal documents that a publisher has to agree to. I believe the reason that Valve don't enforce this rule at all, is because it's not a rule, just a guideline and it's not legally enforceable.

See my example about Prey (with Steam key) being only $20 on Amazon full price, vs whatever the Steam price is.

Quoting: GuestWelcome to the world of manipulative language.
Most of the lawsuit is, in my opinion, full of it. But the price parity for places where there are no steam keys involved, is possibly quite serious, so it pays to be extra explicit about it.

What manipulative language?

The blog post is about price parity and that he claims that Valve would kick him off Steam if he would sell the game at another place for less money.

Chet said that this isn't true and that a clause, that would forbid it, doesn't exist in the agreement.

Both of you. Stop - read the post I made on the previous page that actually contains the relevant text from the Steam agreement.

Yes, but that applies only to the keys - not for example selling the game for $30 on Steam and $20 on the Epic Store. That's what he complains about.

I have yet to find anything in the documentation about that. Still reading though, there's a LOT of it.

@mirv I posted the relevant part of the Steam agreement on the previous page.

The above is specific to Steam keys, and thus conflicts with Rosen's story a bit.
