Quoting: rea987

Quoting: Liam DaweComplaining about it enabling a game work on Linux, and berating a developer because they chose not to do a Native build doesn't really help anyone at this point.

Kindly pointing a broken promise is not berating. Please do not take things out of context.

I have to agree with this.
Proton is not a reason to not deliver on a promise.

That said... was there ever actually a promise? Or was there just a "we'll investigate the possibility"?
Latter could easily turn into "well, Proton seems to work just fine so we'll go with that" and not be a broken promise.

And I agree with Liam, if Proton does work perfectly fine, I don't care if I use that or native.
In the end I'm in it for the game, not for the exact kind of compiler used to compile the executable.

This game is wishlisted very hard (like, a 9.5 / 10 wishlist, would wishlist again if I could).

I just wish there was more free time and fewer games already on that list :grin:

Too bad about the delay.

But on the bright side, there are now quite a lot of great FPSs of this kind around.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOK, I now have a brilliant scheme for acquiring a Steam Deck fast, and cheap!
I just buy a Stream Deck and remove the "r"!

But if you do that, it can no longer go "Brrrrrrr".
It will only go "B-b-b-b". Kinda lame.

For those like me who get weird graphical glitches, with all 3D models (so anything except the background) suddenly having very weird, trippy colors:

Rest. That somehow fixes it.

At least I think it is a glitch. Either that or my character ate some shrooms.

The more I read about it, the more the early Linux ports seem like Wild West style to me.
"Early" Linux mixed with the hardware mess that was the late 90s / early 2000s.

Quoting: SamsaiSo, if the citizens are unhappy, they should know well who to send their complaints.

You have no idea how people work, do you?
They will only see that they suffer due to sanctions of the West. Because that's what they are being told - and most do not have the knowledge, desire or possibility to get "better" information in Russia/Belarus.
So they won't be hating on their government, they'll be hating on the West.

Sanctions ultimately only increase the support for their government.
It's still the right thing to do as it might be the only thing to bring regimes to their knees besides violence, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking we'll make any friends that way in affected regions.

Wait, what... Valve releases a GAME?!
Let me celebrate with a song:

:whistle:
This is a triumph.
I'm making a note here, huge success!

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
:whistle:

Quoting: anewsonkind of amazing how many problems HOTAS systems have relative to how expensive they are.. I had a Saitek x52 for Elite Dangerous and it had countless problems with not a ton of use.

When I took mine apart (after the problems started, in an attempt to fix it/see what's going on), I immediately saw how incredibly shoddy the internal manufacturing was.
Glue everywhere, and despite that parts just hanging about kind of loose, sensitive parts just exposed to the elements. It explained a lot about why it broke so quickly, but also raised tons of questions about the expensive pricing point.

My guess would be that only the most expensive variants have any chance at longevity (hoping that some of that money goes into more than shoddy manufacturing), but of course only make sense to purchase if I was using it a lot more.
