Quoting: GuestIs this feature in place yet for AMD?
Doesn't AMD work with upstream PRIME properly already?

The only reason Nvidia is in such a mess is because they don't care to upstream their driver.

Valve may be adding support for using compatibility tools for playing games on different operating systems

Quoting: SnowdrakeActually this sounds more like a compatibility tool to keep old windows games running in modern microsoft OSes.
Valve can invest in Wine on Windows to do that. Which in turn will benefit Wine anyway.

I suppose they'll have to deal directly with developers of those defective anti-cheat tools.

Quoting: GuestThe only way this could happen is if developers officially supported whatever thing that was being used
Or if Valve had QA for such games and whitelisted them for compatibility run. Note the option for "unsupported" run. If someone chooses unsupported run explicitly, no one will accept their complaints later and the answer will be "it's not supported" :)

Quoting: GuestWine users should be banned or disadvantaged somehow. DXVK development is something that should stop immediately. R.I.P. Linux.
Chill out, seriously. You sound like some elitist who doesn't want more people to start using Linux.

Quoting: CorbenEverybody who thinks the Steam Controller is hard to setup, try this tool instead of Steam's Big Picture mode.
Also the main value is for those who aren't using Steam.

Quoting: SirBubbles
Quoting: ShmerlAlmost finally. TW3 should get a workaround for missing stream output in the coming months.
Fantastic news, can you share anything more? Timeframe, what will get worked around, how, that sort of thing? I look forward to visible Sirens and Rotfiends and things of that nature.
I don't have details on the ETA. @YoRHa-2B announced it here. You can follow the dedicated thread for further updates.

Quoting: brokeassbenJust saw that the new kernel (4.18) supports the Steam Controller [External Link] out of the box
It probably means simply the hardware driver. To replace Steam, you still need something to upload profiles and other things that Steam does. That's what SC controller should be able to help with if I understand correctly.

Quoting: STiATTW3 and Skyrim are a huge "yes, finally!" for me
Almost finally. TW3 should get a workaround for missing stream output in the coming months.
