You will need to update your udev rules for the Steam Controller

This rule is necessary for gamepad emulation; make sure you replace 'pgriffais' with a group that the user that runs Steam belongs to
Just put "users" then, it's way simpler.
amen

works fine for me after reloading udev rules

Quoting: koyal13I recently update on Arch to this version... but I found a lot of games where appear freezes, bad renders and some suddenly "black textures". All are old problems that we have seen in the past, but I'm discovering on games like Grid Autosport, Mad Max and many of my best games (right now I cant try Deus).
Very bad update for me...
no issues..

i had mentioned games freezing with earlier version but it turned out to be problem on ck kernel which was 4.8.3.
latest ck kernel doesnt have that problem. stock kernel is also fine
What version Ubuntu are you using?
I played for a few days Deus Ex Mankind Divided and had a lot of crashes during gameplay on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
i don't use ubuntu.
specs in profile.
havent encountered any crashes in Deus Ex yet, but have played only about 3 hours

Black Mesa, the fan-made remake of Half-Life is rather unstable on Linux right now

cap your framerate to 120 and it wont crash.. ofc you need to start a new game, old save doesnt work even if you cap framerate after that.

weird, but i havent had any crashes after this

Steam store updated, Valve still haven't fixed filtering to only Linux games on the homepage

Quoting: wleoncioI like it; too bad now Enhanced Steam freezes the page for me.
works for me, or maybe it got updated?, has few bugs though. doesnt show linux icon when hovering over top list of games, shows that bloody steamOS icon.

i don't like the new store page. it looks like its designed for tablets or big picture mode.
i have to scroll a lot more to check the new popular releases or upcoming titles list.

recently viewed section is pretty neat though

my 2 cents
