The Next-Gen update to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with FSR 2.1 should be fun for Steam Deck

Quoting: KlaasWhen Zenimax merged Wolfenstein 3d and SoD into a single game (without the SoD mission packs), the original SoD (which had the two mission packs) was removed retroactively from GOG accounts (after an accound refresh that is unavoidable in the long run) while it was kept on Steam for previous owners.
On GOG at least they keep a few previous versions on the Galaxy server, so hopefully if they overwrite the game, one would be able to access the previous one with lgogdownloader. But I'd still recommend making backups.

I wouldn't count on ray tracing working with AMD yet, but radv is getting there.

There is a chance performance of the new game would be actually better if it will go through vkd3d-proton.

Quoting: EhvisMy guess is that they either took the whole CP2077 engine or parts of it to do this. Either way, since I don't see them doing Vulkan for their last red engine usage, dx12 is very likely.
Didn't they port TW3 to the Switch? So may be they already had a Vulkan path in the engine for that. So it's a possibility they used that here as well. But I guess we'll see.

Btw, if it's using ray tracing, does it mean they refactored REDengine to use DX12 or even Vulkan? DX11 doesn't support it if I understand correctly.

I'm curious if existing mods will get updated to support it and what kind of community mods they incorporated into the new version.

AV1 encoder sounds good if it's using va-api.

Nintendo goes after SteamGridDB, likely for people doing emulation on Steam Deck

Nintendo is so infamous for being a copyright bully, that even if it's a legitimate claim in this case, they'll be ridiculed for it. Their reputation precedes them.
