I think "python" is Swahili for "application probably doesn't work"

@sheep guy

You are quite a hypocrite here, because you seem to have quite a negative reaction whenever you are called out for being an asshole. Maybe YOU need the safe space where you can be an asshole without being challenged.

When people disagree with you, you call them weak minded and whatever the hell else... YOU're the one with the problem here, not everyone else.

Anyway, I had you blocked for a reason.

Ah yeah, Valorant, another game we likely will not ever be able to run with Proton due to it using very low-level anticheat.

What do you mean by that?

"Standalone" would have been the better word probably.

They have to make it run on Linux to put it on Stadia. But they don't need to adapt it to general desktop usage and publish it. We're not many, so... they might well avoid this.

The amusing thing is, according to a dev at iD, the best way to port to Stadia is to make it work in regular non-Stadia Linux first, then add all the Stadia crap on top of that.

They also filed a patent for something similar back in 2011.

Proton/Wine's purpose is to make Windows software run on Linux, warts and all. It's not there to solve civil issues. DRM is an issue that needs to be taken up with the developers/publishers, since they love it so much.

There's an AssCreed Oddyssey user patch that I am hoping will sneak its way into wine/proton main. It fixes the only minor issue I have with the game.

I tried using my HOTAS for this, and it works fine and felt good enough, but since I spend most of my time managing stuff in X4, not dogfighting, I don't really feel it benefits the experience for me. YMMV of course. Giving orders and autopilot all the way. :)

Weird though that I say this, because with X-Plane it's also mostly managing navigation and autopilot and I still have the HOTAS front and center.

The only addon I use that I think will not work any more is a colour grading one I use. I guess vkbasalt will have to fill that gap.

Why would they? They have more expertise than other cloud gaming providers. Nvidia is nowhere a competitor to Google in this sense, not even close. And Nvidia aren't even trying to compete with them in the sense of offering games. They simply offer cloud VMs (Windows only for that matter). So it's a different service in a sense.

Google actually enable multiplayer games that are based on their platform. Nvidia doesn't have anything like that. I'd say Google's main competitor in this sense is Amazon, not Nvidia.

The NVidia option lets you play way more games than Stadia does. Of all the options, Stadia is the weakest.
