Quoting: areamanplaysgame

In the notice it complains how the code now runs on platforms it was never released for

Am I missing something? I thought there was an exception in the DMCA for exactly this - making software more useful to end users.
[..]

I don't know about DMCA, but that exception is definitely valid in the EU. That's how it's legal to "circumvent" DVD and Blu-ray encryption on Linux - if a product cannot be used in the advertised manner on your system, you're allowed to make it work.

Speaking of VR keybinds, do they actually work for anyone? Apart from the interface for selecting community binds being incredibly slow, I've never been able to get the interface for setting it up my own to show up and selecting community binds never seem to do anything.
Is my system cursed or is this a general problem?

I'm just going to be overly optimistic here and say that there are more games that work for me now with Proton than there were the last time I tried running a Windows machine. From what I see online, that situation hasn't exactly improved on Windows with regards to backwards compatibility.
In the eyes of the average consumer - assuming the upcoming AC work from Valve actually works - I think the Steam Deck is likely to work with the expected amount of games, which will likely read as "100%" to the average consumer.

I bought GTA3 when this engine became usable - to bump the Linux sale number and show that the engine has a positive effect - now I've had to file for a refund, which is probably not likely to happen.

UPDATE: Refund denied.

Quoting: CybolicAt least on my build of DarkPlaces (using DarkPlacesRM), the new episode (Dimension of the Machine) crashes when killing an enemy with the axe [...]
I'll try Luxtorpeda's DarkPlaces build next.

Yup, same thing with Luxtorpeda's build of QuakeSpasm-Spiked and VKQuake. The crash is not from using the axe but seems to be when one of the first enemies is killed (number 6 or 7 I think). The wrong portal text is in all three versions (and not in the Kex Engine version).

I just added FTE QuakeWorld as an option. Give that a try and see if it works better if you have a chance.

I just tried that one and it seemed to go alot further.

That works, no crashes now! Is it just me or is the timing on jumps and projectile travel speeds slower on FTE QuakeWorld?

QuakeSpasm-Spiked build 6042 is supposed to have full support for the new episode :)

Quoting: dubigrasu[...]I would've love to hear an opinion from someone heavily accustomed with the pads on the Steam Controller, are the new pads big enough?

The SteamDeck pads are supposed to be the same width/height as the circular ones on the Steam Controller (in other words, the circle can fit inside the square) and those were pretty much the perfect size.

Where was that mentioned?
I'm looking at this guy who's doing a DIY of a steam deck, and (supposing that he got measurements right) the SC pads seems to be quite bigger then the new ones.

If he's right about it, this kinda sucks, as they are puny in size.

My source was Reddit, so I guess it should be taken with a grain of salt:

The text displayed by portals doesn't seem correct either, more like variable names.
