This looks fine and all, but what exactly does "next gen" mean in this case?

Maybe Valve should just save themselves some grief and not hand out Steam keys for free to publishers to use at other stores.

Quoting: leillo1975

Quoting: Luke_Nukem

Quoting: leillo1975Still having the same error of 460.32. rFactor 2 [External Link] has a big performance regression. With 450 driver I have between 80-100 fps, and with 460, 20-30 fps. Seems that Red Dead Redemption 2 has the same problem.

Have you tried the `PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU` proton option?

I don't try it, but is strange that using 450 and 455 driver versions, I don't have this problem

Shooting in the dark here, but can you try deleting your nvidia shader cache? I think it's in /home/you/.nv/

Ok people, educate me.

I was under the impression that games implementing nvidia's own RTX raytracing will not work in this way, but only games that support the platform independent standard.

no?

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoValve acquired Campo Santo and cancelled "In the Valley of Gods"

This is not accurate. Valve have a "work on what you want" policy, and the Campo Santo team kind-of just drifted themselves over to Half Life: Alyx. They made the decision themselves, not Valve.

We'll do our best to convince developers and publishers to allow Linux users to participate in competitive modes. Still, we must be honest with them and disclose our reduced detection capability on Linux.

They won't, even though it just means 1% of their player base might be able to cheat easier.

Quoting: GuestHas Valve actually been helping Linux gaming though, or has it helped mainly themselves and Microsoft?

Remember when we got big titles such as Metro Last Light, Bioshock Infinite, and Mad Max? Where are those titles now days? Even Serious Sam 4 from the developer who brought us the first Steam game for Linux, Serious Sam 3, has been canned for Linux with them saying there are no plans for Linux at this time.

Helping to get Windows games running on Linux has only made more developers choose Windows. While I'd never pay a developer for a Windows game, especially one that comes with zero support for and testing on Linux, what else could be the cause of games coming to Linux declining? The continuing monopolization of developers (like Valve) by Microsoft? A decline in gaming overall? You would think a pandemic is the perfect time to play more games if ever there was a time.

No, what makes developers ditch Linux is that there is no money in it. Simple as that.

I would love a world where Linux native is first class (especially since publishers are already spending money on Stadia) but before we can have that, the size of the market must be bigger first. And it will not get bigger if users cannot play their 15 year old Steam libraries on Linux if they switch over.

Steam Machines didn't work

They *could* have worked, and no reason why they could not now. But at the time, Proton was not a thing, you could not play your Windows games on SteamOS. There was no hardware subsidies in place, so most of the units were way too expensive for what they offered, and in general I thiuk it was marketed poorly.
