Funny, what a coincidence, just today Into The Breach came into my mind, if the native port will still come as the devs promised, when they said Proton would not be the kind of quality they want to deliver :woot:
Maybe I should coincidently think more often of promised native ports... a well I've used this magic now up for quite a while ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does anyone have a gsync monitor and plays in VR (using nvidia?).
Since driver 440.44 a kind of delay or higher latency/lag was introduced, it's not happening with the previous driver (440.36) or with the previous series 435.
I guess it's related to gsync, because the patch notes of 440.44 have this entry related to VR:

Fixed a bug that caused applications running directly on a display (such as VR HMDs) to tear when a G-SYNC or G-SYNC Compatible monitor is plugged in the system.

Unfortunately this is still happening on 440.82, and I guess they will only look into it, if more people report this issue.

I opened an issue [External Link] on their forums.

Quoting: gojulYooka-Laylee is Linux native, isn't it ?

It is, but as Liam wrote, in this case the fix was related to the second game. But another reason why this is helpful even when there is a native Linux version, is, that sometimes the Windows version run via Proton works better on Linux than the native Linux port. Not only performance-wise. Of course this is a slap into the face of the porters, but sometimes it's just needed. E.g. Company of Heroes 2, if you wanna play multiplayer with people not using Linux... or Rocket League, when the publisher decides to cease Linux support.

My recently played games have been:

  An all timer, I'm trying to finish a hardcore run (the real rogue-like, perma-death mode) with the Gunship, which is the most difficult ship to steer imho.

  A really difficult hardcore stealth coop "shooter" (though you mostly melee enemies). The interesting thing about this is, 10chambers is releasing new levels constantly (it's in early access now, and this happened for the first time now), and the previous levels (combined in a "rundown") are gone then. So if you haven't seen the levels, well, you're out of luck. But damn, this game is totally my type of game.

  Though I'm experiencing some crashes here and there, and performance isn't the best, this is the best triple A story VR game I've played so far (Boneworks and The Solus Project are good too). Haven't finished it yet, because... damn this game gives me the creeps from time to time. I guess I've never screamed (in a game) like this. Enjoy (spoilerfree):

Quoting: TheSHEEEPNot really, no.
I've moved on to other games for now. I'll trust that they'll eventually release the linux version for good and then it can be played.

Just wanted to help out with testing, but I guess that is left to others now ;)

Looks there was an issue with the backer beta keys, which just now was found out. Looks like our keys weren't allowed to access anything else than the Windows beta.

Even after the Linux version is now released (unfortunately it seems AMD card users can't play the videos though).

Allowing updates between two or more PCs on a LAN would be great. So you would not have to setup something like Steam proxy cache and Steam clients could update games that are installed between each other. Would save downloading the same game several times, when installed on more than one PC.

Oh, thx for this info! I didn't realize if you miss a free game in a certain time period, it's lost for you.
Just tried Thumber which seems to perform well, and also Metro, where I had some hiccups. It also doesn't quit properly for me. Need to test it more thoroughly, first look wasn't bad, but I kinda have the impression I can feel the input latency. Might be just me though.

Steam VR is still crashing on each level transition in Half Life: Alyx for me with Beta 1.11.1 and latest Steam Beta Client. Other than that it's well playable for me, with some performance drops here and there, but not soo serious.
