NVIDIA working with Valve to get Gamescope working on their drivers
25 Mar 2022 at 10:48 am UTC Likes: 9

As owner of nvidia gpu for so long time i would say i really haven't even had the need for gamescope as everything has been working perfectly with multimonitor for me. Games run, perform, open in correct monitor etc. Cant really complain, but i guess good to hear they are working with valve.

NVIDIA 510.60.02 driver rolls out for Linux

Quoting: ArdjeBut no old gpu support, nor opensource support for older gpus. While AMD and intel still get updates (not because they need to, but because they love to see it work).
(IMHO: NVidia is just slightly better than being the D-Link of GPU's).
what? they have legacy drivers for older GPUs which also get updates for newer LTS kernels from time to time.
not opensource, yes, but that's the way they do stuff.

Quoting: quotI wonder if dropping in that missing `easyanticheat_x64.so` file would fix the issue. The removal seems accidental, so I'm assuming the main binary is still compatible. Of course, you're risking a ban if you try that, but I am curious.
It does fix the issue.
How did you get the correct file?
i backed up the file before the game updated :)

Quoting: XpanderAlso windows 7 seems to get a small bump
Small? It increased from %3 to %4 (roughly) in last 2 months.
I meant this month. But yeah agree, that's not really small for a OS that is EOL.

From the steam statistics tracker in here, its clearly visible that when there have been more chinese language users, then we have had drop, the lines match quite closely. Every time ther's a drop with simplified chinese we get a higher percentage.

edit: Also windows 7 seems to get a small bump every time there are more simplified chinese users on steam.

Bungie has more to say on Destiny 2 for Steam Deck and it's still a no

Im mean they are not wrong. BattlEye might work as expected but their own solution maybe needs extra work and then there are updates on the future etc. Its still a new platform to maintain. Im sure if Deck gets popular and they see there's money to be made, they will change their mind.
