I've put the variable definition in file /etc/environment (as I am the only user on my machine) and it works as expected.

Updated the graphics driver with performance improvements for STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor.
Has anyone already tried? Is it at least playable now?

Returnal is just rough on Steam Deck but great on Desktop Linux

It works great for me, but from time to time the EOS can crash the whole game. And it is also tough to reproduce as it occurs randomly. But all in all it feels like a very good game.

Why don't Ubisoft (EA, and all these big publishers) push their Launchers to PlayStation and Xbox consoles? I'm curious to see if they are that smug with Sony or Microsoft.

Here's how to get The Witcher 3 working on Steam Deck after the next-gen update

Quoting: SchattenspiegelFind the 'launcher-configuration.json' in the game directory and change the 'fallback' entry to "DirectX 11"
after that you can use --launcher-skip as a launch option in Steam
Nice. Thanks!

It would have been nice to set the DirectX11 version directly from the launch command (maybe with the parameter -dx11 as UE games do), and skip entirely that launcher.

The Last of Us Part I on Steam Deck gets support from Valve and Naughty Dog Co-President

Quoting: Liam DaweI get why people hate it though, there's too many games that stick too many extras in pre-orders to force people to buy early and make their numbers look good.
And moreover the actual game might not fit the initial expectations, but I don't think this is the case.

Quoting: itscalledrealityStill waiting on Bloodborne….
I believe that has some serious showstopper, such as issues on remastering it or issues on setting the multiplayer in place.

I'm not very fond of games with zombies (or infected, or whatever), but I think this is amazing news for both the Deck visibility and the future of PC Gaming in general.

Video recording app OBS Studio v28.1 out with NVENC changes

Quoting: XpanderNot much perf loss with that, but the Screen Capture (XSHM) is awful when GPU is nearly fully utilized, whole desktop starts to lag. NvFBC was the best to record entire screen without any significant perf drop.
On my NVidia I use gpu-screen-recorder [External Link] in replacement of NvFBC as it gave me a huge performance boost.
