PUBG's newer anti-cheat sounds problematic for the Steam Deck and Linux

I'm sure Linux users usually understand better than Windows ones that running malware is a bad idea, even if it's labeled as "anti-cheat".

Quoting: PlintslîchoI can't help it, having the original game as Linux native from gog.com but the DLC as Windows game feels odd to me.

But let's wait and see.
I wonder if expansion is just some resource file that even the Linux version can seamlessly pick up, or it also needs the executable update?

I.e. did anyone try using the Windows release of the expansion with the Linux base game?

Quoting: ShmerlIt's a pity they never managed to make the game 64-bit.
How much of a difference does it make?
It shouldn't make a lot except for possible filesystem related problems, if it wasn't complied with large file flags. In the past a lot of 32-bit games had this issue because developers had no clue it even exists and it only manifested on some filesystems like XFS, not on ext4 for example.

And many 32-bit Unity games were bitten by it.

Note: it's not simply about actually large files. It's about 32-bit program being able to work with files on large partitions on 64-bit system. On XFS the bug starts showing up on partitions around above 1 TB if application wasn't built with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.

Wine 6.23 is out now continuing the PE conversion work

Quoting: GuestWow, seems like an important regression potentially impacting audio chats or even proaudio apps...
am I right?
I haven't experienced it anywhere but with CP2077, but I guess anything where audio priority is important can be affected.

I'm still waiting for this to be fixed (the complication was caused by PE migration):

Btw, does virgl work with user session Qemu/KVM or only with regular session? I didn't manage to make it work with user session ones.

KDE developer suggests Plasma needs to be simpler by default

The usual points apply. It should be simple but not simpler than that. Gnome didn't nail it. But I think KDE developers get the idea in general.

I like the VtM reference in the linked article :)

GOG to go through some reorganization after suffering losses

Quoting: The_Aquabatseriously Physics effects are a bad joke? everything feels unfinished on cyberpunk
That's not my impression from it. It can be still improved surely, but it's already pretty good.

Quoting: The_Aquabatnot surpised since Cyberpunk is a pretty bad game.
Not sure what you mean. I've been playing it for a while (close to completing it) and it's a very good game. It feels smaller than the Witcher 3 in scope though.
