Steam Play Proton 5.13-6 is now officially out
13 Feb 2021 at 11:47 am UTC
Quoting: gojulI still got frequent crashes on Death Stranding w/ Proton 5.13-5 and NVidia driver 460.39 under Debian stable. Anyone with the same issues ? (and yes re-validating files quite often does not fix it)
I'm on Proton Experimental with that but will switch over and play a bit later today to see if it crashes. I'm on Manjaro / NVidia and I've actually never had that game crash on me. I'm even running ReShade on top of it.

I have found some games are crashy in certain screen modes. Like some will hate Fullscreen.
Stadia to see more than 100 games through 2021

This depresses me.

I don't begrudge Stadia for existing. Sure, exist, chew up all the bandwidth you want. (seriously, it's ecological disaster levels of bandwidth) But it bothers me that in all likelihood, precisely 0 of these games will see a native Linux release anywhere else.

$4 million does not seem like a lot of money to even bother suing over. Are we sure this is not a desperate company in financial trouble with over-inflated stock value?

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/
VKD3D-Proton begins work to support DirectX Raytracing on Linux
26 Jan 2021 at 11:17 am UTC
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?
Valve have multiple games in development they will announce says Gabe Newell

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.
Steamworks gets Denuvo Anti-Cheat, here's what Irdeto say about Linux support

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.
