Quoting: Guestso just back to game topic please

These article comments are for commenting on the article and its subject matter, the pandemic being an inescapable factor in Valves decision to cancel the live audience. None of us like what is happening.

In my meaningless opinion, Valve did the right thing here, albeit after possibly doing the wrong thing twice. Allowing a live audience in the first place was probably not a good call, and moving to another country thinking the pandemic would be less of an issue there seems almost naive.

I care far more about Valve as a company than I do about this specific game or tournament. Making poor decisions seemingly ignorant of the state of the world is worrisome.

Maybe they should come back to Sweden then, we just decided to drop all restrictions and pretend the pandemic is over even though we have several fatalities and hundreds of new cases every day. What can go wrong... :cry:

Quoting: EikeThere's a compatibility problem lurking here for all who are running case sensitive filesystems - which should be about everybody.

It should be fine, things that rely on case will still function the same but (in theory) Proton will no longer be afflicted. This feature has been around a good while now.

A filesystem that has the casefold [External Link] feature set is able to configure directories with chattr +F (EXT4_CASEFOLD_FL) attribute, enabling lookups to succeed in that directory in a case-insensitive fashion, i.e: match a directory entry even if the name used by userspace is not a byte per byte match with the disk name, but is an equivalent case-insensitive version of the Unicode string.

The feature is configured as an inode attribute applied to directories and inherited by its children. This attribute can only be enabled on empty directories for filesystems that support the encoding feature, thus preventing collision of file names that only differ by case.

The sharpening is from FSR's second pass, Robust Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (RCAS) which is configurable to your personal preference. Gotta find that sweet spot!

FSR's first pass is of course Edge-Adaptive Spatial Upsampling (EASU).

Quoting: g000hAny advice for getting it to work?

The Mesa environment variables are useless for Nvidias proprietary driver.
Neolog (developer) mentioned [External Link] that deleting the config dir can reset a game stuck on black screen. Can also try forcing window mode with -screen-fullscreen 0 and/or opt in to the linuxbeta branch.

Quoting: DarkVantageDoes this update also fix the freetype2 incompatibility that broke web view windows on Arch?

Yes, that's one of the listed fixes.

Excellent tool, used it and its predecessor for many years. Great to see more Wayland support!
Notable party tricks include using a gamepad with games that lack gamepad support or games with broken implementations (GameMaker anyone?) and simultaneously controlling two characters (played through Mannarites 2 player mode with one gamepad) :grin:

It's almost like the benefits of developing a cross-platform application outweighs the cost of the additional work. :whistle:

Steam Controller pads are circles, 40 mm in diameter. Source: I just measured mine.
That would make a surface area of 1256 mm² per circular pad.
Going with 32.5 mm as the given measurement for the Deck pads, that would be a surface area of 1056 mm² per square pad.

Looks like they simply cut the circle down to a square. Rough cut:
