DirectX 12 exclusive DEATH STRANDING runs on Linux with Proton 5.0-10
16 Jul 2020 at 1:17 pm UTC Likes: 5

Went to manual proton building and tried patches, there was a whole issue on github for that but suddenly commits appeared on that beta "next" branch and it was even push to the steam client.

Could play flawlessly for 3 hours straight yesterday night, only witnessed the bushed floating in the air only once during one of the first cinematics. Lots of stutters and what would appear to me as memory leaks but no crashes whatsoever, once the shaders are compiled it's mostly smooth, I love it!
Thanks Valve team, thanks community, (thanks Kojima team)! Much love!

What have you been playing lately? It's chat time

Tried Zombie Master (hl2 mod) Linux beta release, crashes sometimes but hella fun. :D

Still hooked to CSGO and GTA online. Looking forward to death stranding tomorrow if it runs at all. :)

Quoting: BeamboomAll this cheating puzzles me: What exactly are the benefits from all those efforts? Are there economical benefits to speak of here? Or other benefits I am unaware of, other than winning some random online matches against some random people on the internet?
I would assume selling hacks, cheats, exploits is a wide market. Also CSGO is part of the rare games in which you can make money of, you loot crates and items in CSGO, can later be exchanged on shady roulette websites.

Finally some people just like to mess around because they have an extremely boring and lame life, cf GTA online cheaters.

I hate DRM but I can understand why the efforts in fighting cheats and cheaters.

To be honest, looks like the Kerbal people knows their shit in physics (less so in graphics eventually) so yeah would have made wonders with the physics pioneering Source engine team. :D

Hopefully they finish polishing Source 2 and give it to us so we can start a whole new mod golden era again. I was missing Source forts, Zombie master, Dystopia, Neotokyo, Project Valkyrie and it just so happens that half of them are now open source AND built for Linux as well (played zombie master this week).
(While thinking at this, source forts might have been fortnite ancestor...)

Spoiler, click me
That said I'll have no rest until I avenge Eli and get the Gman syndicate down.

It's unrelated to this update, but has anyone experienced FPS lag spikes on CSGO ?
(Using manjaro+plasma)
It's not a hardware or network issue, it's happening in single player and all other (quite more intensive games are doing fine).

inability to apply traditional digital signature techniques to custom compiled versions of the kernel
Digital signature of the kernel ?
Could anyone develop on that topic ?
I feel we're going down a dangerous and unlikable path there.

Would this bring some overhead to anything non winds/windows related ? :S:
