Sadly yeah the native client runs pretty poorly. OpenGL 30-55 FPS range. with vulkan argument it gets 60+ but with weird frametime spike every 5 sec or so. With proton it runs smooth™

He probably has all the statistics and knows the insides, So i think he is right. I find it stupid that people just start calling out with names for no reason though :( but i guess its the internet.

But thats probably bad news for every other big game like Apex Legends and so on also sadly.

Quoting: mphuZ

Not only has Valve banned NFT games from Steam...

But at the same time they themselves support a third-party NFT platform: https://dmarket.com [External Link] :whistle:

That's convenient, isn't it? :grin:

that has nothing to do with valve.

Yeah. I predicted this when it launched that 2 years down the road it will be pretty much in maintenance mode.
Terrible Launch, awful business model, restricted to some countries only, not enough games and so on i guess.

Ohh what. I didn't even know Supaplex is on Steam. Thats my childhood. Remember playing it back in 96 or 97 or something. Looks like also linux native, might grab it just for nostalgia :)

Still same old GPU :( Damn those prices. I want to upgrade already.

Woow. What have they done with their good game engine? It used to be really good with the HD remakes and Serious Sam 3. Now it runs like crap. frametime spikes all over the place. GPU doesn't even get fully utilized with Ultra GPU settings and 1440p. And the game doesn't really look amazing. Looks more like a game from 2010 or so.
Ryzen 7 3700X gets only 30-40% Utilization and GTX 1080Ti 55-70%. Vulkan rendering.
Gameplay is kinda meh also, at least at the beginning of the game. Gunplay feels very weak and feedback is almost non existent. Specially shotgun. Explosions are good though and Sam jokes are pretty good in line with their earlier games.

Quoting: stormtuxI do not understand if this this simplification will allow both versions of Easy-Anticheat (the Epic Online Services version and the old one, as wrote by the Vermintide2 developers some weeks ago) to work without upgrading the code base?

Yes exactly. Don't need the EAC EOS SDK only for the support. Can use the old EAC SDK now also.

Quoting: Guest"Proton", or wine in general? Because wine will carry on just fine. DXVK will continue, but coordination of per-game fixes might suffer, and direct Steam integration could stall. Except Valve have long wanted to not be under Microsoft's direct control - and regardless of the Steam Deck, this is a way to prevent Microsoft from exerting control over stores on its platform (e.g taking a cut from every sale, which they wanted to do once before).

Basically funding a few projects is chump change for Valve, and keeps Microsoft at bay.

I meant proton and steam integration yes. wine will ofc continue. DXVK and vkd3d might also slow down to crawl, if valve isn't paying anymore. Not to mention all other linux ecosystem improvements around gaming. But i guess thats the worst case scenario and valve hopefully will still want to keep steam play around.
