I wonder what the exclusive fullscreen in the changelogs mean? Does it mean that we can have display mode change through a game now or what? One thing that annoys me with for example Wreckfest is that i have a 4k TV that can do 120hz 1080p, but even when i change to 1080p in the game i can't set refresh rate to nothing but 60hz.

Exclusive fullscreen i think should help with that, but what does it mean now that it's in WINE? So that it works entirely like it's supposed to work or just works which it did IMO before cause i could play games that were exclusive fullscreen.

I tried out the Flatpak. For some weird reason with the Flatpak my Mangohud wasn't working in Steam anymore and also Mangohud settings could not be saved cause it gave you a warning that read only.
Also the Proton Tweaks environment variables got removed after closing the app and opening it up again.

Went back to the repo version and Mangohud works again plus saving the configs.

Quoting: Anorelsan

Quoting: kaimanI'm on Gnome, but I could swear that this also is a problem I had in the past. Haven't played many games with controller lately, so no idea if it's still an issue or not.

But even then it annoys me at times: screen going blank during lengthy cut-scenes. Or the opposite: screen not going blank when Firefox with Youtube is open, and no video playing (happens only on occasion, though).

On my system with Archlinux + GNOME, if you are playing with the controller the screen doesn't go blank. If you don't touch the controller, a lengthy cut-scene as you say, the screen goes blank and you have to touch the mouse or keyboard (the controller don't work¿?). I have my power saving config to go blank after 5 min of inactivity so it's not a problem anymore for me.

And that applies on steam, emulators etc.

Don't know if it's KDE only, but recently Steam made it so finally that when a game is running it won't take you to a lock screen which in my opinion is most welcome change as games might behave bit badly when power saving is enabled.

Heroic launcher did this already, but for some reason Steam was lacking it before.

Don't know why Valve hasn't announced it in the change logs or anything cause i think it is a big improvement.

My GOTY was definitely Metro Exodus. 9/10 game and was fun to play. It wasn't released this year though. Didn't buy any 2025 games personally. All money went into PC upgrades.

I think that in English you can accentuate stuff with Capital Letters. So it is not wrong. English is bit funny in that aspect though i think. I might be wrong though :grin:

I will probably buy this as well if on Linux. Was already once thinking of it, but was waiting for Linux release.

Is there going to be any ARM version? I think i saw somewhere that this is x86 only.

I played around a lot with different DE's, but XFCE is where i ended up eventually. Maybe two years now already and i still love it. Simple, fast and effective.
