Quoting: ShabbyXDoes it need root password everytime it applies settings? Does the whole UI run as root on startup? If the latter, no thank you! I would like to see the developer think about the security implications too.

It uses a helper that needs root-access. You can set it to not require a password: https://gitlab.com/corectrl/corectrl/wikis/Setup [External Link]

Quoting: GuestThe app just launched so give it time to add a flatpak or snap versions :)

and btw, is it a GTK application ? or does it have its own UI ?

It seems it uses QT but has build it's own UI-Design that is inspired by the radeon software on windoze. Looks quite nice i think.

I just installed it (from AUR, so no manual fuzz and no need for snap/flatpak :P ) and played around a bit - i think thats the nicest attempt at GUIs for this purpose we had so far, especially considering that this is its first (public) iteration. I'm digging it.

Wow, some sensible talking from Swiney? I'm impressed.

Now if only his actions stood up to his words and for example his joke of a store would not actively prevent his beloved competition...

Quoting: BeamboomAre there ever any reason to run anything but the latest version of Steam Play on any game, ever?

there have been regressions in wine, too.
So yes, it could occur that a game that used to run perfectly with an older version of wine/proton starts acting up in a newer version.
Last time i had this issue was with Star Citizen, that wouldn't install/update with wine > 3.19 (iirc) but ran fine (even better) with newer versions once it was installed ^^

Sad to hear that the linux-sales haven't been good after release of the Linux-Version. I've just waited for that to pick it up and really enjoy it (although it's quite a bit lower fps than the demo had on proton)

For those not aware: Ryzen 3xxx / X570 doesn't boot on newer Kernel/Systemd-Combo:

Quoting: GuestBesides, tests with the expensive X570 cards have been done and it seem the Fan of Doom is indeed running quite often and what's worse, is noisy.

Strange, (german) Computerbase is writing that the Fan is not noticable at all on MSI and Asus boards:

I would instantly back this - if it wasn't for the recent Epic-Shit-Store debacles that burned me enough to abandon crowdfunding...

I'm eagerly awaiting Linux for part one, played it a bit via family share + proton and loved it - so good to know that part 2 will have Linux in mind from the beginning :)
