Quoting: 14How are you re-using one source for multiple games? The Windows version has a way to stream whatever is full-screen. Are you changing the properties of the source every time you start a new stream or recording?

EDIT: I suppose you might be capturing the entire screen, which I prefer to avoid I guess.

For our weekly gaming stream, I'm using one scene, but added each game separately as a source. If the game is not running, it doesn't matter, that source is just not shown or transparent. The first time setup is a bit annoying, but after a while you have all games added and it's just working then.

But looks like there are no Linux builds for OBS 23.1 yet? The homepage states 23.0.2 as latest version for Linux.

Very nice to see the Linux love! I enjoyed this game very much!

Sidequestion: Did anybody managed to get the game Deadpool working? Unfortunately there is no entry in the Protondb for it.

I've tried, no joy. :<

Looks like Dead Pool [External Link] is CEG (custom executable generation) protected. And this seems not to work with the Linux Steam client. It neither downloads a working custom executable signed for your hardware, nor does the checking work properly. Which is a shame, as most of those games are old and probably won't never get updated again, but work flawless in wine steam. So if Valve would fix that, those games could be whitelisted immediately.

The only game I got working, though it has CEG protection, is Aliens vs Predator from 2010. But with some workarounds. So you have to download or check file integrity of the game via wine steam or windows on that hardware, and then you need to fake the date. But once you figured that out, it works like a charm.

There are other CEG protected games, like Duke Nukem Forever, which works flawless in wine (I just tried it yesterday), but not at all with proton. See the corresponding thread on the proton github issue tracker [External Link].

I'd like to know if they changed the graphics API. Before it was OpenGL for sure, which worked great on Linux with wine and later with proton. But for VR I guess they had to change to a more recent API. I guess it's Vulkan, but couldn't find anything so far. Well, I bet it'll still be working fine with Steam Play.

I'm a No Man's Sky fan from the beginning. Space games are my very genre ;) And it's so cool how far they've come with their updates. And it's impressive they still release those huge updates for free.

Well, regarding to Sergey Galyonkin's tweet [External Link], they are looking for Linux engineers. In that thread it's about getting Pheonix Point to run on Linux... via proton or wine or whatever. So it might be related to getting Epic's Launcher to work in wine, or maybe a native Client. Or something completely different, as they probably need also Linux engineers for their back end stuff.

At least this sounds way less against Linux than they don't plan to support Linux at all.

Yeah, fingers crossed they'll support Linux with games and clients in the future. If I got that right, they do have enough money to help Linux gaming if they want to. Even though it's not giving a net positive for the first time.

Well, with Marc Di Luzio (formerly working at Feral) working at Unity to improve Linux support, I hope they won't have any issues when it comes to the platform finalization ;) Fingers crossed! Looking forward to play both, the crowdfunded reboot as well as the successor.

In times of proton developing a native Linux version? This earned my full-price support!
Germans keep their promises... Rockfishgames did, and Egosoft as well :)

This is definitely needed. Atm Beat Saber is being review bombed, because the mods broke with yesterday's update and people can't dowload songs for free and complain about having to pay for songs. m( (that's the facepalm smiley)

1. they could easily downgrade
2. mods will be upgraded
3. song creators want to be paid for their work

Those negative reviews aren't helpful at all... mods are modding the current code, of course they don't work with a different/updated code. Also, those mods are inofficial. And the game is still in early access, so updates are expected... oh man :-/

Quoting: TheSyldatI must be doing something real wrong because there is still no Nvenc option available after updating ...

Can a tiny guide be made by someone on how to get Nvenc support on Linux because I must be doing it wrong ...

You're right, mine seems to have also been removed when updating.

Mine is still there. nVidia gtx 1070, driver 415.27. And these nvidia packages are installed, maybe you're missing one of them?

OBS definitely counts to one of the most awesome open source projects!

Is there now a browser-source now integrated in Linux OBS, or do we still need the external obs-linuxbrowser [External Link] plugin?

And did I get that right: They've also reworked the nvenc stuff, so it's more performant now, but that's also still to come to the Linux version?

edit: looks like the official PPA got already updated, I'm getting the upgrade right now. Noice!
